I'm a big fan of Lee Bermejo's work as an artist and a writer too. He's the writer for this title and he provides the artwork for the covers. This first issue is very promising. It's an interesting premise. I'm looking forward to seeing where this story will go in the future.
Read my review on my blog HEREThis is the first issue of the new We Are Robin series, and it certainly leaves an impression. Instead of Batman choosing a Robin, it's people with courage and a thirst for justice that choose to take on a mantle, and that, I find, is far nobler.The story follows Duke Thomas, whose parents were caught in one of Joker's schemes, and are now lost to him. He's now stuck in the flawed foster system, and is intent on finding his parents since Batman won't.It has hints of...
Bought this last night along with the next 5 at 2nd & Charles. The first issue was awesome! It really sets up this series really well. Will Duke Thomas find his parents?!
While I felt that the story line was solid, good character development, and plenty of action, I would not purchase this graphic novel. The downfall for me was the artwork. I am not a fan of the "blockly" art style. Because so much of a graphic novel's story is told through the images it was very difficult for me to enjoy this particular story arc. I thought Duke's character was very well thought out and that the whole premise of the story was very intricate. I appreciated the tension level throu...
I really liked the street level version of Gotham without much tech or the melodrama of Batman. This has many of the elements I like of the current Batgirl run. I love that all the Robins has lives they need to fit in with the heroing and that their action sways public opinion.
What a fantastic start to a promising series! The majority of this issue is spent building the foundation for the story and I have no problem with that. The wait for issue #2 is gonna be rough.
3.5 / looks promising, good art too.
This is fun!
The story so far is kind of meh. Kid in the foster system is looking for his missing parents and stumbles onto a fight in the sewers. The book closes on that fight. The art is great though. Really refreshing and stylized. The backgrounds tell a story more intricate than the repetitive thought bubbles. I’m looking forward to this series.
A nice, slow start for this one. It's a three, but a three with promise.We get a young man who was saved by Batman, but who's parents had a run in with The Joker and went missing. Hundreds of similar people have setup underground and in a camp in central Gotham, but so far, he has not heard word from them.In the meantime, he has been run through the Foster system, as he isn't taking crap from anyone and has a single minded goal of finding his parents.Eventually, he decides to try underground, wh...
In the wake of the Endgame event, a group of kids have taken up Robin’s colors to defend their neighborhood. This issue focuses on Duke Thomas, whose parents were victims of the Joker virus and have since disappeared. In his search for them, he crosses paths with the “Robins.” Interesting story about a good kid in a bad situation. Some nice geek culture jokes and an interesting use of smart phone technology. While this has a similar feel to Gail Simone’s The Movement, this probably gets more eye...
Sort of a slow start. But I think it shows a lot of promise for the forthcoming issues. I enjoyed it, but this issue felt more like a jumping off point for things to come.
