Reviews

[Drew Canole · Rating 2 out of 5]

I'm a bit of a P. Craig Russell completionist. This is his Opus 24. Originally published in 1986. It's a pretty funky futuristic DC Elseworlds story. I imagine people with a stronger interest in Robin would like this more than I did. I just found it a bit boring. Being an Elseworld's book it's hard to get invested in the characters.

P. Craig Russell is fine throughout but a lot of the panels are just people talking.

As a throwback to 40s Sci-fi pulp, it's pretty good. As a Robin story, it's terrible. Robin is barely in it and things don't really get going until the last panel. This felt like a prelude to a story that never happened.

2.5/5

This series feels a lot more like Buck Rogers than a Robin story. That's not bad in and of itself, just different. Also the evil alien race in this story are called the Skulp. As a thinking adult I couldn't tell you why Asari, Xenomorph, Kree, or Kryptonian sound perfectly normal to me and Skulp sounds stupid, it just does.

By the year 3000, Earth has long been occupied by alien invaders. Members of the Wayne family find themselves fugitives from the law after becoming scapegoats for a plague the occupiers caused. The patron of the Wayne family is soon discovered as the vigilante Batman and is mercilessly hunted down while his nephew, serving as Robin, escapes under the false guise of his death and continues his uncle's crusade against unjust, alien persecution.

The premise of this work is more creative than most elseworlds concepts but suffers from a plot that has little in the way of character development, story progression, or narrative resolution. The art however is damn enjoyable with Russell doing his best Moebius impression; depicting futuristic craft and majestic landscapes with detailed and light line work alongside pleasantly soft color gradients.
