Demon versus detective! The Lazarus Tournament is over, and Damian returns to Gotham a changed hero! But there is one last opponent he might fight to the death…himself. This lead-in issue to the epic Shadow War event is one you dare not miss!

The book opens with Robin and Connor Hawke saying good-bye…

…as Robin steals his mom, Talia Al Ghul’s, air ship.

He heads to Gotham City to grave of Alfred Pennyworth with Lazarus Resin and…

…fights with himself over whether to use it to revive him; he chooses not to.

His mom pulls him from a grave quite literally as…

…Flatline brings her mentor the…

…Lord Death Man the Lazarus Resin as well.

The epilogue shows mother and son aligned as…

…grandfather and great grandmother prove to still not be on the same page with a pretty big secret that cracks wide open in the Shadow War event; full checklist here.

The Pulse:

Another entertaining issue with equal parts action, drama, intrigue and humor. Amazing art. 8 out of 10.
