After depushing the original titans in every way in this new 52 universe, it doesn't surprise me that sales are low (thanks DC).
Anyway it's better to stay far away from the mess it is the current Teen Titans book and roster.
If some redhead guy could rise at the end of this 12 issue book, maybe we could have the right push that original Titans deserve.

It hard for an old fan like me to get excited about the mess DC created with its universe`s history due to Flashpoint and New52\DC You.
I havent decided yet how I feel about Titans Hunt, but I definitely don't want it anywhere near this current Teen Titans.
"History of the DC Universe" by Wolfman and Perez, when the DCU use to make sense.
I agree. I'd been following the Titans for nearly 40 years but their New 52 Teen Titans title decimated my interest in the team and characters (the New 52 versions, anyway). I dropped it after the first year and haven't read one solicitation that made me regret that decision or tempted me to pick up an issue. I'm enjoying Titans Hunt but if it was designed to cross over with TT, I wouldn't be reading it.

I liked the original Teen Titans run a lot, and am happy to see those characters show up again. I think it's an interesting change from the normal reversion policy for the Titans, of bringing back the Wolfman/Perez New Teen Titans team, and has a lot of potential from that perspective.
Whether or not it'll achieve that is another matter entirely, but at the very least it could leave us with characters like Mal, Bumblebee and Lilith in a much better place for future use, and could fix some of the issues the New 52 has saddled other characters like Donna, Hawk and Dove with.
The current Teen Titans on the other hand... I read it for the first two years, before walking away at Villains Month. I should have bailed a lot earlier, because I really wasn't enjoying it and liked all of the characters less with every issue I read, and I see nothing in what I've heard about the title as it is now that tempts me to come back. Part of the appeal of Titans Hunt for me is that it's running in complete isolation from that book. The rest is that I like the characters it's using. Even Gnarkk.
DC should have just used Mal instead of making Wally black.
I have to agree that the Titans Hunt team just comes across as a knockoff Justice League team. What made that original team unique, and different from the JL team, was that they grew up together. They've known each other since they were kids and their dynamics are different. It was more like family, similar to the X-Men, rather than it being some JL/Avenger hero team.
But all that history is gone and they are now coming together as adults. Just like the Justice League. You can try to force in some makeshift backstory where they apparently knew each other when they were older teens, but it doesn't really work, especially when the main JL team is so young. I mean apparently this Titans team knew each other when they were 16-17, but at the same time 18 year old Cyborg and 18 year old Wonder Woman were just joining the Justice League as well.
Though the characterization in HUNT purposefully leaves much to be desired and the pace may be deliberately slow (12issues allows for along arc), I still intrigued by the writing and enjoying the art
I find Ian Churchill to be a very odd choice for a TEEN book as his is not a style that lends itself to portraying age differences of characters. the creative team doesn't hook me. I'll wait on this one...
Favorite Characters : Cyborg, Hal Jordan, Simon Baz, Tula, Mera ,Bleez, Shazam, Wonder Woman, Agent 37 , Batman, Kon El, Atomica.
