An encounter with an old friend begins the first of a two part story in which Damian completes his transition into Nightwing.
Finding ways to extend this war through the "Years" has meant going to some extremes throughout this series, and also recycling ideas from the regular DC canon on occasion. But Buccellato is keeping this fresh even after all this time and even while borrowing "outs" from other storylines. For some of you it might be clichd or retread, but I think the combination of the great dramatic writing, the nuances of the Injustice relationships, and the solid art make this book a win almost every time. Besides, there is nothing new under the sun (as the saying goes–thank you Ecclesiastes 1:9), so it's all about the shiny new packaging–and the whole Injustice teams continues to package this puppy with a really great shine.

Injustice has a solid outing here as we get the first of a two-part story that delves into Damian and his place in things as well as his potential. Buccellato certainly captures the cast well and has some good fun with Alfred and his dialogue and view of things. Miller's been a solid artist on the series through and through, a kind of unsung hero himself in a way, but this issue just felt like it worked better since it wasn't as frantic or chaotic and the cast was kept small. THe look of it was solid and left me enjoying the flow of it and some of the visuals nods he got to do, such as the row of Robin costumes and other fun props within the Batcave. You gotta give an artist an opportunity to draw the Batcave, after all. Read Full Review
Come for the fighting and action and you won't be disappointed. Read Full Review
After last week's fists of fury issue, we get a character study of Damian Wayne and while I am still hoping for some story development one of these weeks, I liked this issue enough. Damian hasn't gotten much attention in the series and this makes him less two dimensional and a lot more human. The art was off this week and while I can't recommend this issue for newcomers, regular readers should enjoy it. Read Full Review
