Who is hunting the Robins?
Batman's former sidekicks are planning to take on a mission that can't involve him but this might turn out to be much more complicated than expected.
Sadly, I missed the opening chapter and this particularly bad because this is the kind of work that I've been missing.
I have been a big fan of Tim Seeley's work on the character of Dick Grayson from titles like Grayson and Nightwing so a book dedicated to the whole Robin family was bound to be an instant win for and by quickly checking the previous issue, Seeley reached the full potential of that premise for the most part by nailing the characterization of each one of them, especially on a segment where they all explore their different histories which might seem a bit like overexposition but the condition of such scene allows for a more natural depiction of it.
In this issue however, the writer creates a much more natural way to showcase the past of the cast by creating multiple flashback scenes in which each character displays their strengths and weaknesses and doing so by being perfectly on-point. I also really dig the way Seeley creates different dynamics between all of them including the constant back and forth between Tim and Damian and the awkward conversations between Tim and Stephanie. Not to mention that each one of them have their own unique interaction with Batman, I really liked how Bruce knows that Tim is the only one of them that can't lie.
The premise revolves around a mystery that involves the past of all of them and of course, Seeley plays heavily with the "sidekick" theme by involving many obscure villain sidekicks. This is something that I really digged during Seeley's initial work and I'm glad that his affection for continuity is brought back.
Baldemar Rivas' artwork has a very vibrant tone that gets every action scene perfectly and depicts each expression precisely.
Good read, can't wait for the next one.
