Excuse? what? What the hell are you talking about?, what manga, what hallucinations? Dude, please if you can't control it don't consume it, I think you're talking about another comic.
It’s a beach party from hell! Robin’s mission to get to the heart of the League of Lazarus's inner workings has left him once again locked in combat with his fellow fighters, but never did Damian Wayne think it would lead to a beach-blanket cookout. What’s more dangerous than a life-or-death struggle for the all-or-nothing prize of immortality? Well, for Damian, it’s acting like a normal teenager for five minutes. And don’t miss the surprise confrontation with Damian’s number 1 competition, a mysterious fighter trained by the League of Shadows!
Robin's personal development is wonderful to behold in its baby steps. I can't wait to see more. Read Full Review
Robin #3 by Joshua Williamson is my favorite issue of the series thus far. My ONLY complaint is that I read it within 10 minutes! We need more pages! I would have had loved to see Willamson write this series, under the DC Black Label. The entire premise of DCs Fight Club to Damian Wayne being the main character would be brilliant under that line. If you are on the edge about diving into Robin, it is not too late to do so. With amazing artwork, great character dialogue, and amazing world-building, this just may be the start of some of the best character development of Gothams Lil sweet potato pie! Read Full Review
Hands down the best new book to come out of DC's main line in a while and the best teen-oriented title in years, Robin has given fans of Damian Wayne exactly what they've been asking for years. And all it took was getting him out of Gotham and the Teen Titans. Read Full Review
Robin deftly manages to juggle the overall plotline while leaving plenty of room for fun, emotional, and very painful character development and moments that make each issue better and better. All of this is brought to life with bold energetic artwork that fully sells the fun but brutally serious tone that this book balances perfectly. This is truly the Damian Wayne book his fans have been waiting for. Read Full Review
I would also like to put in a formal petition to get Damian a best Island friend. There are only two correct answers to this. Yes… or you'll just have to wait till Robin #4. Read Full Review
Robin has been a genuine surprise and provided a well needed change of pace for Damian Wayne. Read Full Review
Robin continues to be among DC's best ongoing series, with issue #3 providing some of the most exciting developments yet -- and not just because of an outstanding cliffhanger. Read Full Review
Ravager brings Robin to a party. While he begins to make friends, he also learns how Batman is viewed outside of his social circle. Later, he meets with Connor Hawke and the two have an interesting conversation. Afterwards, they are interrupted by and unexpected group, and a deadly confrontation occurs. Then, someone surprising comes to Robins aid.The Story: Williamson adds another compelling chapter to this series. Although I am excited to find out what the League of Shadows has planned for its contestants, I am most interested in Damians evolution. Until this point, he has had a very narrow perspective on humanity, and his place in the world. Its nice to see Damian being challenged on everything he believes. Hopefully, this series will make him a more relatable and humble character. The artwork in this issue is eye-catching. The bold colors and detailed drawings perfectly capture the storys tone. I was completely engaged throughout the episode. Read Full Review
Robin is still going strong. It's not pulling its punches either emotionally or physically and I'm loving it. The pacing here is done in such a way that I can easily lose myself in an issue, and I feel like Williamson is really building a strong foundation of character, plot, and myth into the narrative. I can't wait to see how things continue to develop next month. Robin's been consistently my favorite book each month, and I don't really see that changing in the future. Read Full Review
Robin continues to be a fun book that attempts to peel away the layers of jerkiness from Damian Wayne and as we continue to do so we see some of the vulnerabilities of our main character and some of the problems in his life that have caused him to act out, but thankfully, with all that going on we also just get to see him be a kid. The art is great in this book and I love the bits of progression we get here in not only Damian Wayne but other characters as well. Read Full Review
The careful attention to foundations, introductions, and style across the first 3 issues of Robin make it clear this is a story with a lot of care and attention being applied, which makes the already high stakes seem all the greater. Read Full Review
Robin #3 is an absolute blast. The manga influences to the fighting tournament to the death that Damian Wayne has entered himself in is fun to watch develop. Rose Wilson and Connor Hawke strong presence in this issue adds to how Robin is a can't miss series. Read Full Review
I may not be connecting with this comic personally, but it is nonetheless a good direction to take Damian Wayne and a fun story to put him through. The final page cliffhanger is full of potential. Read Full Review
The underlying narrative I keep getting from this story so far is a young boy out to make a name for himself. He is not only living in the shadow of his father, but Damian Wayne also seems to seek growing out of the shadow of the moniker he's still attached to as Robin. That persona also has a weight attached to it. Read Full Review
Connor Hawke returns !!!
Damian and Conner bonding over their lame father heroes. You love to see it
Robin continues being the best DC book out
Solid issue, it makes sense for Robin to hallucinate Alfred and read manga since he's a KID. People may not like the ending of this fight, but this is really engaging and interesting.
Whoever wrote the promo for this issue really undersold it. So much better than I expected given the “beach party from hell” tag line. Connor and Damien’s takes on their fathers were a hilariously refreshing break in a medium that seems like it’s been taking itself too seriously lately, and the reveal of Ra’s al Ghul at the end was masterfully done. I would also argue that this comic has the best artwork of any current ongoing series.
Easily the best title DC is putting out right now
Slowing down the pace and putting the fighting of the tournament on hold, #3 is a fun and interesting character focused issue. It has good character work for both Damian and Connor Hawke which will make their inevitable showdown at the end of this arc that much more interesting. The issue also has good art, some fun jokes and references and an interesting ending.
I really felt the pressure Damian was facing in this circumstance. I've always had trouble of trying to relate to others. An island full of assassins ready to kill you? That's worse. Sure Damian can impress them, but actually making friends in this circumstance is a real challenge. So when he finds someone who can be a good friend in Connor Hawke, I found the chemistry in them to be really good. Only for how deep Hawke is in with the League of Shadows to get in the way. Kinda tragic really.
" HM. I had friends theyall either left me or grew up too fast. "
- ROBIN
Is that brain-damaged Red Hood fan still review-bombing every Bat book with his alts?
At long last, Robin fans must be screaming with the solo series. I like how it goes, I think this series is the best of the robins so far, and the most enjoyable that DC has put out this year.
This was pretty good but that cliffhanger is like an anti-excitement vacuum. I do not like Ra's Al Ghul.
Robin is fine for the almost adolescent kids, I think he is meeting the expectations for that audience. In fact, I think even a little more mature and better than the Nightwing series at the moment.
A title well developed for her youth audience, agile, a nice art.
If this wasn't a Mortal Kombat-style copy it would be decent, instead of devouring souls, their souls feed the island, that movie I've seen before.
Damian making a friend who will be his enemy. How many times has it been seen.
Maybe I'm wrong, but shouldn't Conner be much older than Damian?
Damian's defeat is ridiculous, he is not the son of the bat, the killing tool of the Al-Ghul trained by the best bla bla bla and here it seems that he cannot defeat a fly without being killed or nearly killed. A little inept, right?
However.
The narrative raised its quality despite the indiscriminate use of DC cliches, this was decent and I could say even enjoyable.

feels like we're spinning our wheels a bit. interesting characters with little traction thus far
This issue has 2 things I'm tired of with Damian: he needs to make friends and tempting him with Ra's. I really want to see this character progress but everything just feels 1 step forward and 2 steps back. Maybe this will feel a bit more fresh if you haven't been following this character closely but for me this issue was a bit of a dud. This Robin goes to Mortal Kombat premise was a good hook but I'm going to need this next issue to really feel like it's providing a lot of good action and/or provide something actually new for the character to keep me invested in this series.
