A lotttt of exposition in this one. Again, it reads like a video game or a film about a martial arts tournament. Complete with some "Over the Top" rules about how many chances they get to fail.

I like Damian's inner thoughts, but this issue was mostly just set up for the next one. I still enjoyed the premise and the art, though.

Connor getting some page time and Damien being as Sassy as ever is fun but the plot didn't move forward much at all.

Highly entertaining. Improving upon the first issue, this settled into a better pace. Appreciate the balance of action, humor and character development. The art is fluid and bold yet crisp which works really well to capture and create the tone.

Really fun and the art is perfect. I love the premise, the location and the characters. The Son of the Bat, the daughter of Deathstroke and even the son of the Green Arrow? That is a cast I can get excited about (though I am not up to date on Connor from the New 52, I left him when he had a healing factor from Plastic Man's cells in Green Arrow & Black Canary). I am looking forward to the next issue!

It is a good comic that picks up after the first and continues the story!

AWESOME second issue! Can’t wait for Issue 3 of this Robin comic

Really fun to read and built upon the last issue. It sets the ground work for the rest of the story to unfold and I love the premise. Damian must win the Lazarus Island tournament. The rules are simple only fight during the day, and you get three chances to die and be resurrected. If you die for the third time your soul will be lost forever. Damian is headstrong and stubborn and thinks he can make it off the island alone, but the only ally he has is Ravager, the descendant of one of his greatest enemies. I’m looking forward to seeing how Damian and Ravager’s relationship will progress and if they’ll become frenemies of some sort. I love how the story is playing out, and the art style heightens it further. It’s clean and sharp and I love the way the artist draws Damian and Flatline the most.

Yeah, the ending of issue 1 was as lame as I expected. Was it necessary? Not really, but I guess it sorta fits with Damien's personality... The rest of the story is interesting enough so I'll forgive it for now. The characters in this series are so far very interesting, Damien, Flatline and Ravager. There's some humour in it too, that's subtle but well-placed. I love the designs of both Damien and Flatline's outfits/looks as well. I'm really excited to see how this story will develop.

Pues sí que van a por todas con este "Mortal Kombat" DCita con sus reglas y campeones selectos (y, bueno, el roce que pueda hacer el cariño con Flatline). Pero lo que más me gusta es disfrutar de verdad leyendo a Damian Wayne. Hasta con detalles como que le gustan los mangas shojo, POR FIN veo a un personaje más que el gimmick de "hijo asesino de Batman" que ha sido durante su mayor parte de vida editorial.

Covers the bases with the rules and introductions while keeping Damian's ego intact. Not crazy about the end, although I don't disagree. Hopefully Ravager can teach Damian something that results in character growth for the better. I love her inclusion in the story and the big sister vibes.

[Vijay Williams · Rating 4 out of 5]

A deeper look into a new character that I hope stays in the DC continuity for years to come. Also sets up the world of this Robin book amazingly without giving away all it's secrets.

Oh, ternyata game of death dengan 3 HP. Fiuuuh...

[Paxton Holley · Rating 4 out of 5]

Damian is searching for a secret, underground fighting tournament called the Lazarus Tournament. The winner is granted immortality.

I really like Flatline. Hope she continues on in the series.

[amanda luke ✡︎ · Rating 3 out of 5]

“Did your father give you that low self-esteem?” Exposition issue. Just here for Damian and I’m enjoying it so far.

Pretty fun 2nd issue. I like how Flatline and Damian’s rivalry is developing, I loved Ravager and I wonder what the LOL is doing. Pretty overall solid issue.

Low 8.9
