The characterization here is incredibly clumsy as well (Jason is the angry one!!1!1!)

Another great issue. Jed MacKay really gets Moon Knight and writes him so damn well. The art is fantastic as well. I'm really excited to see where this series goes.

I'm kinda tired of the Drengir to be honest. Sort of nice to see [SPOILERS] more of the connection to the Nihil, but it still felt redundant with early wave 1 releases like Into the Dark (despite it being late wave 2,,). It definitely felt weirdly superfluous and out of place, especially compared to other HR releases since the project has been really well planned out so far. Despite that, it was f more

Really enjoyed seeing Jon trying to live up to Clark in this one, probably the weakest issue so far tho

Kal-El has left, and the weight of the world now rests on his son's shoulders. Powerful forces have been threatened by Jon Kent's first leaps in his father's boots. It's hard to hurt a man of steel, but his loved ones make a much easier target.Jon's world is about to come crashing down.

The characterization here is incredibly clumsy as well (Jason is the angry one!!1!1!)
I am disappointed, but not surprised. I see Tim Seeley with roots as a Horror Comic guy, so I don't expect subtlety or characterization from him. But a writer for Robins should understand these for certain. Seeley obviously is not that person.

Psycamorean reviewed Robins #1 Oct 19, 2021
I can't believe the fans voted for this one. The writing is really not good at all. And the art is... an acquired taste. I really don't have much to say about this issue beyond that. As a tangent to lengthen my review, I've never been more confused by a comic's attempt at political inserts than by the Devotees of Anarchy. It's obviously QAnon inspired, but at the same time, it's about anarchy. The more

Seeley has written some very good comics in the past, and the disparity between the real Anarky and the terrorists here is intentional. https://twitter.com/HackinTimSeeley/status/1460794140065734663?s=20 It's not uncommon for these QAnon-types to misunderstand and misappropriate political ideologies. Just look at Merlyn.
I've read plenty of his work and holy shit, it isn't good. And yeah, I know it's not uncommon, I said as much. I just don't trust Seeley and, since I'm no fan, I'm also not following him on twitter. I'm glad it's intentional. Doesn't change my review here, because I didn't rate it on this one part of the comic. I rated it for its very poor writing.
