    Damien's journey to redeem himself for the Year of Blood is the most epic quests a fallen hero can accomplish. Through Ray Fawkes writing you get a feel for how important it is to Damien to fix all his wrongs and the weight of how heavy regret can feel. Future issues will hopefully hold the answers Damien is looking for and make him the best Robin he can be. The great use of storytelling with a clear message, action, and that Damien humor we love the most gives this book a solid 9/10. Read Full Review

    Batman-News - Brandon Mulholand Jan 22, 2016

    While nothing in this story is truly ground breaking, it's still a fun little done-in-one. Full of action, humor, introspection, and the ever popular; battling ones own inner-demons. If your looking for something earth-shattering that will move you to your very core, I suggest you move along, but if you just want to read a nice solid comic for entertainment's sake alone, this will do just fine.

    So Fawkes and Bachs don't really reinvent the wheel here but for new readers that are wondering what this whole "Son of Batman" thing is all about this a good primer. Read Full Review

    There's no danger, no charm, no growth of character, and nothing particularly interesting about the art to make you care about this comic in any way. Read Full Review

    Robin: Son of Batman #8 proved to be a rather average comic, with Damian's tale lacking the proper depth or excitement that we've seen from the series in the past. There are however some magnificent symbolism within the latter stage and along with the fun art, it gives us just enough to merit a purchase from current readers of the series. Read Full Review
