DC Comics and Robin #1 Spoilers and Review follows.
Damian Wayne Out From Under Batman & Tangled In Bloodsport?!
The book has a few more variant covers in addition to the above.
Plus the main cover.
The book opens with readers learning how Batman feels about his son Robin…
…as he and the entire Batman Family search for him.
Turns out he’s half-way around the globe in a bloodsport fight club type deal and…
…DC makes the point of saying the Damian Wayne Robin is superior to his predecessor and current Red Robin Tim Drake as he easily defeat’s Tim’s nemesis King Snake.
Looks like Damian Wayne is also haunted by the ghost of Alfred Pennyworth…
…despite all that his fight performance got him in an invite to the Lazarus Tournament; on his way there he leaves a wad of cash for a fisherman and his family.
On Lazarus Island we see many combatants new and olde; on the new side Respawn and on the old side Ravager who is Deathstroke’s daughter.
Mother Soul, presumably the head of the League of Lazarus in the way that Ra’s Al Ghul is the same for the League of Assassins, welcomes her “guests” as…
…an impatient Damian Wayne reveals himself and Robin and wants to begin fighting now!
New character Flatline steps up and…
…kills Robin?!
The Pulse:
A really compelling read with intrigue and action rendered beautifully. I am hooked. 8.5 out of 10.
