8 on Robin #17 reviewAfter only 17 issues Joshua Williamson’s Robin comes to an end this month. And I have some thoughts on the ending, so let’s get right in. To start with, this does not feel like the end of a series. None of the last couple issues leading up to it have had that feeling, and honestly…
After Shadow War and the last issue brought Damian back together with both his parents, he’s pushing forward into his own path in life choosing to step away from both of them. Returning to Lazarus Island he has a plan for his own future, and that of the friends he’s made along the way. But…
With the Shadow War done and wrapped, Damian has found himself reunited with his parents, and back in Gotham. Now that he’s patched things up with Bruce, will he stick around, or continue pushing forward to find himself? And just what lies in store for Talia now that she's turned herself in to the authorities?…
Shadow War is well on its way to wrapping up, and Robin is a major factor in that. This issue continues the event directly after Deathstroke Inc #9 and if you haven’t read that yet, go check it out then come back here. I wish I could say this book feels like more of a…
After reuniting with Talia in the last issue Robin dives straight into Shadow War this month. Damian continues his search for Deathstroke, answers as to why Ra’s was killed, and learns more than he expected to. I’ll be honest, I found this issue a little hard to review since it’s less an issue of Robin…
Now that the tournament is over and its instigators have been wrangled it’s time for Damian to return home. But just what kind of a Gotham is he returning to, and does he really even have a reason to stay there? I’m still enjoying this series quite a bit, and a big part of that…
With the Lazarus Tournament over, and Mother Soul outmatched there isn't much left to do but wrap up the loose threads hanging around Robin and the rest of the tournament fighters. And what better way to do that than with a family reunion and party? Robin is one of those books that I love to…
Last month Damian managed to rally the remaining fighters on the island to help him take down Mother Soul’s Lazarus demon. At last faced with Mother Soul herself, Damian was suddenly transported back into the past, right in the path of not only Mother Soul, but a younger version of his Grandfather as well! Robin…
The tournament is over, but that doesn’t mean that Damian’s battles are done. With Connor as the victor, Mother Soul has raised her Lazarus Demon and plans to set it first on the fighters, and then on the world. Just how is Damian going to get out of this one? Something I love about this…
This annual takes readers back to just after issue #6 and gives us a collection of short tales about the series supporting cast. It focuses mostly on Flatline, Ravager, and Respawn, but includes most of the other new characters Williamson has introduced in the series. The story in this annual is very light. Damian has…
The Lazarus Tournament is down to the final two: Damian versus Connor in a battle to find out just who is the stronger of the two. Plus, Mother Soul’s plans are still in motion, and underneath it all a demon waits to rise! As I’ve come to expect from Robin, this issue once again is…
The Lazarus tournament is in full swing as is Damian’s investigation into the secrets behind the island and Mother Soul. With the tension high, and mysteries piling higher, will we get some answers this issue? And how will Damian fair in this leg of the tournament? You know those books you read that make you…
With everyone on the island having died at least once and the stadium set up the second phase of the tournament has started at last! This issue is sure to be packed with action, battles, and carnage, but will that be all that's in store for the characters? Or will we start to learn more…
Damian has had quite the journey so far in Robin. He’s joined a death tournament, died, come back to life, attended a beach party, been thrown off a cliff, and last month had some quality time with his grandfather, Ra’s al Ghul. This month he’s set to face yet another challenge: convincing his predecessor Robins…
After a rough attempt at fitting in, and an even rougher fight with Conner Hawke Damian’s found himself face to face with none other than his grandfather, Ra’s al Ghul! Just what does the Demon’s Head have in store for him, and is Damian ready to learn? Let’s see. When I say this book constantly…
Last month we got the details on just what’s happening on Lazarus Island, how the tournament works, and just how many times someone can die there before kicking the bucket for good. In addition to learning the rules Damian started exploring, and maybe made a frienemy or two. This month promises parties, beaches, and some…
The first issue of Robin ended on a deadly cliffhanger that left me eagerly awaiting answers to a million questions. The biggest one being did Robin really die, and if so what does that mean for the book going forward? The short answer is yes. Of course. But he’s also mostly fine. On Lazarus Island…
I have been unreasonably excited for Robin since its announcement. Part of me wanted to curb that enthusiasm so I wouldn't be disappointed, but come on. Damian? In a fighting tournament? Just take me back to my teenage years where I was glued to the TV watching the likes of Yu Yu Hakusho and Saint…
Ever since Damian quit being Robin, I’ve been on the edge of my seat wondering what DC’s plans for his future are, and at last we’re getting some answers. It turns out he's still Robin after all! Starting April this year, Damian will feature in a new solo series titled Robin written by Joshua Williamson…
