It really annoys all this unfinished ending and I absolutely hate it, I don't know what DC is thinking, betting on something that many people may not like very much and leaving good content to oblivion just because they have favorite characters. metetlos for you .... hahahahaha that comment killed me.

Tim Drake is dead at the hands of the Magistrate. Uh, so why is he getting back up again? With the dangerous and supercharged "Lazarus Resin" coursing through the veins of the hero once known as Robin, can Tim recover enough of his fragile psyche to finish the mission and blow the sky convoy? And can Spoiler and Darcy escape the clutches of Peacekeeper 03 in time to save their friend in the process? It all comes to a head in this cataclysmic finale!

Forces Of Geek - Lenny Schwartz
Feb 11, 2021The story for this book is pretty damn spectacular. I have to say that this is pretty well written and has great characterizations. The art is Eddy Barrow's best work. He has never been better and really pulls out all of the stops in this comic. Read Full Review

Comic Crusaders - M.R. Jafri
Feb 11, 2021We need a Tim Drake book with this level of art and storytelling on a consistent basis. Fitzmartin and Barrows so clearly love Tim Drake and that fondness shines through in the level of their craft. Although the Lazarus Resin is a crutch that was not needed it does establish Tim as a very powerful character going forward in the Future State universe especially as he rises back from sure death once again at the end of the issue. This comic shows the power that a good Tim Drake story has and the potential within the character for an ongoing comic. Read Full Review

Dark Knight News - Steve J Ray
Feb 09, 2021Future State: Robin Eternal #2 is a near perfect comic. The only criticism I could raise is that it was all over too fast, but that's not a critique against the storytellers, it's just that I wish we had more than two issues! The ending to this story really raises a lot of questions, and I would really love for them to be answered. Read Full Review

But Why Tho? - Charles Hartford
Feb 09, 2021Bringing it all together, Future State: Robin Eternal #2delivers a strong wrap up to this two-part story. It balances out both its emotional and physical threats well, allowing for a multifaceted story to land that both entertains and grows its main protagonist. Read Full Review

The Batman Universe - Ian Miller
Feb 10, 2021The two-issue Robin Eternal miniseries concludes with a powerful punch, examining the character and history of Tim Drake with great intensity and giving Stephanie Brown and new character Darcy great supporting roles (as well as fitting in nicely with other stories in Future State).

The Super Powered Fancast - Deron Generally
Feb 09, 2021Eddy Barrows crafts some dark, beautifully details imagery throughout this issue. There is a gritty feel to the art and it perfectly matches the dark tone of the story. Read Full Review

Weird Science - Eric Shea
Feb 09, 2021Yeah, I'm a bit of a Tim Drake fanboy and maybe I'm letting my love for the character bias my opinions of this book but with these self-reflective looks aside, this is still an action-packed, fun-filled book that looks great all the way. Sure I would have liked some more things explained along the way and would have liked a better connection between Stephanie Brown's appearance here and in her Batgirls backup, but even with these problems I had a good time with this and loved seeing Robin kick ass and take names the whole way through.

The Comicbook Dispatch - acnbat
Feb 11, 2021Megan Fitzmartin, Eddy Barrows, and Adrian Lucas put their best efforts forward in a thoroughly enjoyable two-issue arc that leaves me a bigger fan of Tim Drake and Stephanie Brown than I was before. It's also left me wanting to read more DC Comics about these two! Bravo! Read Full Review

Feb 09, 2021Generally, if you're interested in Tim's future in this strange new Gotham I'd say check it out, but if you're already waning on Future State, it might not hold your attention. Read Full Review

Feb 10, 2021There's nothing spectacular to be found here, but it's engaging enough to warrant some consideration and that's a notable improvement on the mediocre start of Robin Eternal. Read Full Review

Henchman-4-Hire - Sean Ian Mills
Feb 13, 2021A perfectly adequate Tim Drake adventure that simply doesn't do anything very special with Tim or Robin. Not that any of that is this comics' fault, because DC hasn't known what to do with Tim or the Robin mantle in years. Read Full Review

Lyles Movie Files - Jeffrey Lyles
Feb 09, 2021The cliffhanger style ending promising more adventures of Future State Robin seems misguided and another instance where just a return to the present day would be a better fit for Tim Drake. Read Full Review

This comic for me has been the only one that has been worth it, I really liked it, they are not a particular fan of Tim Drake and I'm not saying I don't like it, it's my second favorite robin and the third DC character that I like. Tim has to face the consequences not only of the pit that alone brings problems of anger and darkness, but of the new that still potentiates everything. Tim struggles with everything he has, the hallucinations, the confusion but he has also given him much more strength and the possibility of not dying even though we don't know how long his effects last. The big mistake here is that they leave everything empty without finishing and apparently Future State is doing this and a lot, which is horrible.

I honestly didn't mind this issue, but as Nihilist pointed out, it's definitely not supposed to be the finale. But oh well.

There's something deeply saddening about the title "Robin Eternal." It implies that Tim is doomed to being always the Robin, never the Batman. DC has never really known what to do with Tim, and after the whole Drake fiasco, I was hoping they'd learn their lesson. Dick has Nightwing, Jason has Redhood. Hell, even Damian has a weird future of being Batman with a trenchcoat to look forward to. With Red Robin seemingly shelved, I suppose a life of faux immortality and rescuing two blond fan girls is all Tim has left.

There was this show on TV back in the day, called "My Name is Earl". It ran for a while, and then its creators decided to end a season with a really big cliffhanger, promising the story to continue. It didn't. The show was cancelled and the plot was never resolved. Why am I mentioning it? Well, because Robin Eternal reminds me of it. It's also an unfinished product which tries to convince us that its ending is not the end, but I simply can't imagine this series being picked up again. I simply can't. It turned out to be so hopeless, I simply don't see a point. Take your Jason Todded Tim Drake, DC, as well as your one eyed Spoiler, and shove them up your... vault. Some things aren't meant to be eternal. This comic is better off being forg more
