RED ROBIN VS. RED HOODTO THE DEATH! Robin War part 4 pits Tim Drake against Jason Todd in a steel-cage matchand only the Court of Owls can say who will escape the cage with his life!
I've been very pleased with “Robin War” so far, and this issue continues to deliver the fun. I think that “fun” is the operative word here, and an underrated commodity these days. People are always trying to put meaning and higher purpose behind their stories. Trying to say something about society and alter the way we think about the world. I'm not saying that this story doesn't have that, I'm just pointing out that it isn't afraid to have fun at the same time. It just reminds me of the good old days where comics were entertainment first and foremost, and if you got a message, that was a bonus. While this specific issue is definitely geared for the action oriented, you'll also find plenty of humor and some meta commentary to round out your reading pleasure. I had a great time with this issue and am seriously looking forward to next week when we get part 5 of “Robin War” in Robin: Son of Batman #7. Read Full Review
Giandomenico's art fits the bill this issue as well. It's a different take from Randolph's smooth and up close approach on the characters, but it's very flowing and free once the action gets underway. There is a scene with Tim Drake that is absolutely brilliant with how it was handled. There's so much for everyone in this book story wise and art wise. Read Full Review
We Are Robin #7 is a fun installment in the "Robin War" crossover. While the only time we really spend with the core cast is with Duke Thomas, it doesn't take away from the overall enjoyment of the story and art. Besides, we get to see from Duke's POV how insane the world of Robin really is. Read Full Review
If you are following Robin War, you will definitely no want to miss this issue. If you are unsure of “Robin War,” this is not a bad issue to try out. It gives enough information for a new reader that one wont feel lost going in. This is a wonderful chapter in a crossover that is celebrating Robins 75th Anniversary. Theres something for almost every comic reader here- character, mystery and an engaging story. Read Full Review
The story's pacing is interesting, starts slow with the dialogue between Gordon's Batman and Grayson looking for the pieces and lured to prison and then.. Boom! Action with the battle between Red Robin and the Red Hood. I love action especially with swords and guns, this book does not disappoint. The scenes look like something either from a movie or animated series which was pretty cool! Read Full Review
While the main storyline of this book is simple and unvarnished, the art makes We Are Robin #7 a worthwhile read regardless. Carmine Di Giandomenico is a real catch for DC, and if they know what's good for them, they'll continue to throw high-profile work his way. We Are Robin #7 may not reinvent the wheel - or even this crossover - but it is a particularly stylish entry for an easily overlooked book. Read Full Review
Now with all that said, I still enjoyed the issue I just was expecting more in regards to plot development. Each issue has been a lot of fun for me and I am glad the 75th year of Robin has been given as much love as it has with the multiple stories honoring the character. The Robin War, as a whole, has been really entertaining for me and I am still very much onboard and excited for what is to come. Regarding this issue, I was just whelmed (reference from Young Justice that fans of the show should know). Read Full Review
Robin War has been pretty fun so far. It's not about to go down in history as one of the greatest Batman stories of all time, or even one of the greatest Robin stories of all time, but it's sufficiently entertaining. Read Full Review
Despite most of what I said above, a good portion of the issue seemed uneventful, but this is still a must read for those following "Robin War." Be sure to come back next week when the adventure continues in the pages ofRobin: Son of Batman#7. Read Full Review
We Are Robin #7 is a slow, sadly disappointing bump in the middle of Robin War. Not a whole lot was accomplished in the issue outside of the ending and the writing and artwork weren't as up to snuff as previous issues of the series or the event in general. If you are just reading the series and not interested in Robin War, you can safely skip it without missing a single thing. Otherwise, if you are here just for Robin War, keep your expectations low for this one. Read Full Review
If you weren't a fan of the Detective Comics part of the Robin War, I can't think you'll be a fan of this either because it's just more of the same while we're left wondering how no one knew about this special prison being built in Gotham........... is that too much of a spoiler? Anyway, the art feels off for what we'd expect from this title and all in all, this is just another title to this event that is really starting to make me wonder if it will all be worth it in the end. Hopefully the next chapter to this event will get things back on track because this wasn't a very good issue of We Are Robin or a good installment to the Robin War and you'd probably have a better time watching Chained Heat with Linda Blair if you're into the whole prison thing.

After a few too many issues of Duke's character and abilities being developed wayyy too quickly, it's actually his own series that puts him back in his place. I was very glad to see the gulf between the true Robins and the wannabes stated outright. Props to writer Lee Bermejo for that, as well as the exchange between Grayson and Gordon about the ethics of child-vigilantes. It's not something I've seen brought up as often as it probably should be. Unfortunately there is but one black mark against this issue and it's a problem that seems to be plaguing Robin War throughout - the capabilities of Dick Grayson. In part 2 of Robin War (Grayson #15) we see him get out-sparred by Duke Thomas, in part 3 (Detective Comics #47) we see him get beaten i more
It wasn't the best comic of the series, but it wasn't bad. 7.5.
