The issue ends with a final blast of demonic energy sending Damian into the past where he meets a young version of his grandfather, R'as al Ghul. Read Full Review

Mother Soul expresses her disappointment in Robin and explains the role of the tournaments champion and competitors. Then, Robin confronts the Lazarus demon. Afterwards, he is given advice from someone special and learns a valuable lesson. Next, he makes a very mature decision that yields surprising results. Finally, Robin finds himself in an unusual situation.The Story: I really enjoyed this chapter. Williamson does an excellent job in showing Damian Waynes character growth. For the first time, he is confronted with an obstacle that is truly beyond his abilities. And it is heartening to see the way he responds to the guidance of his loved ones, even if it is only through his interpretation of their wisdom. It shows that no matter how stubborn and arrogant Damian behaves, he is willing and open to become the best version of himself. Also, the cliff hanger ending left me speechless. It was not only unexpected but filled with potential. I am curious to see how this new part of the tale w Read Full Review

Demons rise as the tournament comes to an end, as the true endgame becomes 100% clear as the series reaches the point it's been building to for nine issues to bring Damian Wayne back from tragic guilt. While this series is truly fun to the core, the emotional weight that it showcases with each issue helps elevate it to top-tier levels. Read Full Review

Itll be interesting to see where Williamson takes Damian next but its assured to be eventful. Read Full Review

Never again will I ever be late to the party, as I missed so much. This was a sad occasion. Now I'm all caught up and even more excited than before. After such an action-packed couple of issues, the stakes for Joshua Williamson are high. However, with an ending like the one we get from Robin #10,I have no doubt we're all in for an AWESOME tale to come. Read Full Review

This continues to be one of DC's best books right now. Read Full Review

Beautifully illustrated and written, this book closes a door in the coming-of-age story of Damian Wayne and, just as in the real world, flings open a new one that will be sure to also put the maturing Robin to the test. And, as the creative team continues to fill this space with heart, humor, and harrow, I am all on board for the ride. Read Full Review

Robin #9 is a good finale to the Lazarus tournament that wraps up the final threat while giving the various tournament attendees a way to contribute. Its connections to Alfred and Batman are heartfelt and meaningful while the cliffhanger is an exciting turn you won't see coming. Read Full Review

This was a fun issue that does an excellent job rounding out a part of Damian's character arc Williamson has been taking him through through this series. Here we get to see him reflect on his family, those he loves, and his history and choose to ask for help instead of pushing forward. For me, it's a great moment and I'm excited to see where things go from here. Read Full Review

Robin #9 was another strong entry in one of DC Comics most consistently well written and drawn series. The arc that Damian Wayne has been on got a payoff as he stepped up as Robin to show his leadership qualities. The twist ending in Robin #9 was enough of a surprise that keeps you guessing on how exactly this Lazarus Tournament story will conclude. Read Full Review

For this issue of Robin, we have ourselves a great look at our Boy Wonder, but sadly the way that we go about defeating Mother Soul's plan comes off a little too easy for our heroes. Yeah, the art and character work is great but I wish that our fight against the story's big bad felt like it was an actual threat like the way the story built it up to be. That being said though, I still had a great time with this issue and the characters involved. Read Full Review

There's still fun to be had as various rivals change their attitudes to survive and the cliffhanger at the end is a welcome invitation, but Robin #9 still falls far short in its climax of the mighty expectations this series has earned. Read Full Review

Continuing to be the best ongoing DC series

Finally - after giving Batman the"R" and announcing he's not Robin, which I guess was more than a year ago. And he wasn't - but now he's grown into and reclaimed it.

This has to be the best book by DC, it keeps getting better and better. Joshua has done some incredible job with this, really looking forward to the next issue. and really excited for shadow war.

Robin keeps to be one of my favorite 2021 books, the plot isn't very complex or mindblowing, but it fits the character so well that reading this book is like a blast of pleasure

Joshua Williamson is one of the best writers in DC Comics and this clearly shows.

The ending comes out of nowhere but I liked this.

Sometimes a comic just needs to be a comic and this has it in spades. Nothing fancy just all out ludicrous fun. The action is great. The book moves and sets up a new journey for Damien quite well. Overall one of the better consultant books out there right now.

Another FANTASTIC issue. Williamson taking the scenes from Batman Year One but refocusing the story so that Bruce’s call for help was his first step as Batman was brilliant. The only part I didn't care for was Robin using his own blood to draw goofy looking goggles on his face, but everything else about this issue was spot on.

While the ending is a tad worrisome, I do think this is a consistently good series. It's fun. There's not a lot more to say about it.

This is, for my money, the most consistent book on the shelves month-to-month. Williamson's characterizations are breezy and fun and the art, with a fill-in by Roger Cruz this time, always matches in tone to create something unique. The bits with Damian seeing Alfred's ghost have been great and have delved into the loss of Alfred in a way that no other book really has.

I laughed out loud when I read the Alfred sequence; Williamson clearly loved the final issue of "Return of Bruce Wayne".

Also biggest wtf last page for the whole week.

It had heart to it but it felt like a bit of a misstep to me. I thought this one was a bit too cheesy and rushed.
