This series was promoted as a "new edition" to differentiate from the 2011 series with the same name. The earlier series had stretched pages and dropped title logos and credits on some issues. This series corrects those "errors", restoring those issues to look as originally printed.
Content-wise, Volume 1 of each series contain the same contents, the Volume 2s are slightly different, and the Volume 3s are very different. Volume 2 of the earlier series skips over issue #38, and runs through issue #44 and Annual #3. Volume 2 of this series includes #38 in its proper place and runs through issue #41. Volume 3 of the previous series did include #38 (out of order), but then skipped over issues not illustrated by George PĂ©rez, so it includes #45-50, and from the 1984 series #1-6, 50-61, 66-67 and Secret Origins Annual #3. Volume 3 of this series does not skip any issues and includes issues #42-58, Annual #3, and #1-9 of the 1984 series.
Volume 4 of this series collects The New Teen Titans (DC, 1984 series) #10-31, The New Teen Titans Annual (DC, 1985 series) #1-2, and a story from The Omega Men (DC, 1983 series) #34.
Volume 5 of this series collects The New Teen Titans (DC, 1984 series) #32-49, The New Teen Titans Annual (DC, 1985 series) #3-4, Tales of the New Teen Titans (DC, 1984 series) #91, Secret Origins Annual (DC, 1987 series) #3, and Infinity Inc. (DC, 1984 series) #45.
