“She doesn’t even know if she likes candy bars. “She doesn’t know what kind of music she likes,” Garcia said. Readers familiar with the character know that the supernatural is at work, and that voice in Raven’s head has some serious evil mojo just waiting to be released, unless Raven can stop him.īut, without that insider knowledge, Raven pushes off worry about the supernatural to focus on things she’s lost. “She doesn’t know if these are new weird things that are happening, or if these things were happening before the accident.” Though the strange things are frightening, it’s almost more terrifying for Raven to think that they are the result of brain trauma from the accident, and that she might never get better. When she goes to stay with her foster mother’s sister and niece, Natalia and Max Navarro, in New Orleans, strange things start happening to her. In the opening pages, Raven, who is a foster kid, loses both her foster mother and her memory in a car accident. In the graphic novel, the character starts at a very different place. “They want to show a really dark portrayal of the origins of the character ,” Garcia explained. And while she was comfortable stepping away from other versions of Raven to create her new story, she noted some connections to Raven’s other current incarnations: Teagan Croft, who plays the character in Titans, blurbed the book and met up with Garcia at the premiere.
