    The Comicbook Dispatch - soycornholio Oct 27, 2021

    Final Thoughts:Robin #7 by Joshua Williamson is one of the better issues of this series thus far. Ironically enough, it takes a deathmatch to show the many layers of Damian Wayne. He has a heart. He is not just a robot. This is both a blessing and a hindrance. There is a shocking revelation towards the middle of the story that will ultimately decide how Damian uses not only his heart but his mind. If you fell off the latest Robin series, I can understand. This is the issue that brings it all together. I would recommend checking it out. Read Full Review

    Batman-News - Matina Newsom Oct 27, 2021

    I loved this issue, in fact it might be my favorite of the series so far. The tension is consistently high and only gets better as the issue progresses, the fights are a lot of fun, and the story is still so full of heart. The art is also stunning, with moments that still have me thinking about them. It's continually so good, and feels like it's getting better with every issue and if you haven't started reading it yet you are really missing out on a gem. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Eric Shea Oct 26, 2021

    There are some big reveals this issue and thank goodness for it because while I love the characters involved in this series, the tournament angle is wearing thin and boy do we get a bunch of it. Overall though even with me getting tired of the tournament, this angle has given us some great characters and their interactions with each other is what keeps me a fan and you get some really great stuff here... I just can't wait for the next part of this series. Read Full Review

    Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez Nov 1, 2021

    Robin #7 is another fun chapter in the Lazarus Tournment. Joshua Williamson, Gleb Melinikov, and Max Dunbar waste no time getting through the tournament as we reach the finals by the end of the issue. The pacing makes this final match have much more hype around it as the competitors have built a personal rivalry the deeper we've gotten into the tournament. Read Full Review
