This was really good omg!
I loved this one! So it pretty much continues the tournament and we have the big fight of Damian vs Hawke and the consequences of that and the aftermath and the real reason of this tournament aka the unleashing of the Lazarus demon and what Damian and his friends do to save Hawke and I love the realization that happens with Damian from Alfred's memory and that was so well done, showing the characters growth and then the big fight with it, the origin of Mother soul and connection to Ra's and maybe the end of tournament with a bang!
I love the whole thing and like his new friends and Talia's reaction to it just signifying how far they have come and some interesting foreshadowing of things to come with Lady Shiva and Lord Deathman and I love the whole thing plus whatever is happening to Ra's, it uppends the whole mystery and I am actually interested in the Shadow war event now!
Its a really well done volume and like I said character growth and continues Tomasi's work up on building up Damian and especially with what happens between Talia and him in the end, the whole thing comes round circle and just shows the awesome-ness of these characters and brilliance of Josh's writing, the excellent art and everything so yeah a must recommendation definitely from me!

A pretty great conclusion to the Lazarus Island arc, so if you liked volume 1, you’ll like this. I’m going to stop reading this series though, as I couldn’t give less of a fuck about Shadow War if I tried.

I wasn't a big fan of this second volume. The big battle that ends the island part of the storyline was a bit boring as the villain only acted as a punching bag. Then after that, there is a long dream sequence filled with exposition. Overall, it was a boring read for me.

I love it when a book lives up to the hype. I am not a big fan of Damian Wayne, this series has increased respect foe him, I even started wanting him to succeed. Hence I had to give it five stars.
The other thing about thus book it is a tournament battle, and this is another way this book does what it is supposed to it really delivers in the action department.
Damian things he has worked out the secrets of the Lazarus Tournament, however he has only scratched the surface. On top of that he is going to be pushed past his physical, mental and emotional limits.
This book delivered on every level for me. Making my like and be invested in a character I really fo not even like is a big thing. However I was also interested in every character in this book. I really want to know what is next for all of them. The book finishes with a varient cover gallery.

Nesse segundo, e último volume da série do Robin Damien Wayne, temos a finalização do torneio de Lázaro, bem como um novo rumo na vida do Damian, que ganha uma nova perspectiva após os acontecimentos desse encadernado.
Continuando, obviamente, de onde o volume 1 finalizou, temos Damian de volta na ilha de Lázaro, em posse do livro que a mãe alva utiliza para reger o torneio. No entanto, vemos um flashback que mostra que Damien descobriu os objetivos da mãe alma e da Liga de Lázaro, e assim, Damien luta no torneio com o objetivo de impedir que a missão da Liga se realize.
Mesmo com algumas reviravoltas e surpresas, o torneio chega ao fim, e grandes consequências podem ocorrer, mas Damian, com seus novos amigos, conseguem impedir a devastação iminente. Em sequência, algumas revelações sobre o passado da família do Robin vêm à tona, mostrando a essência da família Al Ghul e o quanto esses são cheios de problemas.
Nesse momento, indo além dos acontecimentos da trama e olhando o desenvolvimento do Damian, é inegável que o personagem não estava bem após sair de Gotham. O seu trauma ao perder o Alfred, somado ao seu questionamento sobre quem ele é, torna o personagem “uma bagunça”, sendo difícil que uma criança consiga lidar com isso.
Levando em consideração a origem do Damian e sua criação com a Liga das Sombras, e posteriormente o período de amadurecimento que ele passa em Gotham, é normal que o menino seja traumatizado, pois a ruptura de crenças que ele acreditava, somado aos conflitos de ideologias de seus pais, fazem com que Damian não compreenda quem ele é de verdade.
Nessa série escrita por Joshua Williamson, ele consegue abordar bem esses temas, mostrando quanto o Damian se sente culpado e não consegue superar o passado, assim como ele sofre em conseguir amigos e estabelecer relações de confiança com outras pessoas, pois sua criação foi forjada no ódio e violência.

Ok, but not on the same level of Vol 1
March 23, 2024
Lazarus Island was a pretty decent storyline but that standout part of the series are the co-stars. Robin and the other characters play off each other perfectly.
December 7, 2022
3.5 stars. So here we find out who Mother Soul really is and what her master plan for this tournament really was. However, someone connected to Damien and Mother Soul disagrees with what she is trying to do and also steps in. It was cool seeing all the people Damien had to mix it up with during the tournament, all come together and team up ti end this caper. While not quite as good as vol 1, this was still some solid stuff. The annual at the end was a nice touch as it gave a bit more background on all the other characters from vol 1.

Eu sempre desgostei de tudo que o Joshua Williamson já escreveu, mas como toda regra tem a sua exceção, eu gostei muito do Robin dele. Ainda mais porque é conta com os belos desenhos de Gleb Menikov e do brasileiro Roger Cruz. A ideia de fazer um torneio de assassinos e lutadores em uma ilha de Lázro é muito boa e, mais ainda, é muito bem executada. Neste segundo volume, como o torneido meio que dado por encerrado, o leitor é convidado a conhecer mais segredos sombrios e nefastos da família Al Ghul. Assim, Williamson acrescenta mais camadas à essa vilanesca família que tem relação com o Batman e com o Robin. E as camadas acrescentadas pela bisavó de Robin são bastante interessantes e aventurescas. Esse segundo volume de Robin abre as portas para o arco A Guerra das Sombras que sairá na íntegra na revista quinzenal do Batman a partir de novembro até janeiro.

А я писав, що в рані «Робін» головний герой читає манґу? Одним словом читає й дуже багато, завжди поміж бійками знайде час перегорнути кілька сторінок. Гарно!
Друга арка «Робін: Я є Робін» (2011) #7–12 продовжує події на острові Лазаря. Робін перебуває в активній фазі турніру, боротьбі на смерть, яку веде таємнича Мати Душа. Багато бійців загинуло, але Деміану вдається залишитися живим. Головним є протистояння Деміана й Соколика, а також наслідки цього бою й турніру загалом. Та найголовніше ми дізнаємося справжню причину цього турніру,
Обидві арки досить тісно пов’язані й окрім непоганого екшену, подій на турнірі, Вільямсону вдалося добре попрацювати над Деміаном, його пам’яттю про Альфреда, переживаннями й емоціями. Але також відчувалося зростання інших персонажів, зв’язок між якими ставав що випуску сильнішим. Також цікавим стало те, як Талія змінила думку щодо стосунків із сином. Глянемо, чи буде воно мати розвиток далі. Ран далі хороший.

Still good arc, mortal combat style.

Another great volume as Damian finds out more about the mystery of Lazarus Island. So cool to see Conner Hawke again!!! Been way too long and I hope he and Damian can become close friends in the future.
June 1, 2023
I continued on because I wanted to know the truth behind Mother Soul and the Lazarus Tournament, and eeehhhh. This could have wrapped up in 2 issues if all the COOL POSING and CHARACTER BACKSTORIES were taken out or streamlined. It felt ridiculous after a while.
April 27, 2023
The Lazarus Tournament comes to an end in I Am Robin with a predictable twist: Mother Soul never intended to let anyone live! Like in the first volume, Gleb Melnikov arts some spectacular fight scenes, but this book is lighter on actual story.
There's quite a bit of world-building related to the Lazarus pits, but it's force fed to the reader in a dense dream sequence. Lazarus this, Lazarus that. I'm sure this'll all play a bigger role eventually, but it's tough to keep track of. I was more interested in Damian's budding relationship with the serial killer Flatline.

A solid conclusion to the Lazarus tournament, and good follow through on Robin and the cast. A little simple at times, yes, and not super deep, but Williamson gets these characters, and I hope we get growth out of Damian, Talia, and Ra's
June 30, 2022
Malheureusement une série qui ne me plaît pas vraiment. Des moments sympas quand même.
September 3, 2022
Gerade so mit das Beste, was man klassisch-comichaft erzählt bekommt: temporeich, spannend, dramatisch, witzig und voller Wendungen. Ich liebe es.

Gostei bastante so no final q achei uma saída muito rápida mas para o desenvolvimento até aqui foi muito bomm e vamos para guerra das sombrass

The Lazarus Tournament is in full swing, but Damian isn't sure that he knows the full story. With some assistance from the other contestants, he sets out to find out the truth about Mother Soul and the Lazarus Pits once and for all. Plus, in the Robin Annual, learn the secret origins of some of the Tournament's most enigmatic entrants!
Joshua Williamson's Robin series continues to impress. The story progresses at a solid rate, even if this whole Lazarus Tournament does feel like it could have been wrapped up a little earlier - it's the character stuff that keeps it compelling though. From Flatine and Hawke to the whole Mother Soul/Ra's Al Ghul/Talia stuff, Williamson keeps the book engaging even in the quieter moments.
The Annual's good fun as well, it's nice to get some background for the newer characters, as well as a refresher on some of the ones we've seen before, just to see how their continuity works now, like Hawke.
Gleb Melnikov shows up for a few issues here, but I actually prefer his replacement, Roger Cruz - Cruz's work is still of a similar style to Melnikov's, but it feels a little more restrained. Melnikov can sometimes veer into Humberto Ramos-type character models (read: stretchy arms and legs) that Cruz never manages.
Robin's second volume is as impressive as the first, for the same reasons as before. With only one more volume to go, I've got no reason to think that that one will be any different.

Like most Williamson stories, this one fizzles out. The first three issues finish the Lazarus Tournament and reveal the evil plan of Mother Soul. Apparently there is a demon that feeds inside the pits, even though the pits are a scientific creation by Ra's?? Honestly this story really had me confused about my knowledge of Lazarus Pits. And then it all ends with them defeating the monster with the power of... Teamwork.
The last 3 issues are all loosely connected to eachother. First we get a confusing magic mental time travel for some Al Ghul background. Then a quick wrap up issue where all the main characters teamup and resolve somethings. And then finally an anticlimactic end where Damien works out his issues some more.
Nothing stellar but it does evolve Damien in a way that I like.

Didn't enjoy this volume quite as much as the first one. It's much more reliant on big, blockbuster action scenes. There's still some character development for Damian, but that kind of comes behind fighting a demon and family revelations. I'm dubious about the things revealed about Ras al Ghul here, because I'm not sure they'll add a ton of value going forward. However, I still like how Williamson writes Damian, and I liked him forming his own squad partway through the book.

Well, ya lost me with the whole demon summoning situation
As everyone knows at this point, I love Robin. I love how dorky Damian is. I love how he’s super complex and interesting. I love how he tries to hide how deeply he cares for other people (exactly like his dad). I love how he’s resiliently confident and unshakably brave. I love Damian.
But this one lost me, I’ll admit.
By no fault of his own, Damian’s story lost me. The timeline in this volume was a bit all over the place.
I was tracking for a good while, then there was this weird flashback issue that explained a lot of things and I just think it should have been included before issue 6 (like it said that it took place before issue 6, just give us that bit of exposition where it’s relevant pls).
Anyway
The art was stunning as always. The variant covers were so pretty too oh my word.
It was well written, just maybe not my cup of tea.
Really really violent
Wow that was a lot of blood
Anyway, I’ll probably read the next volume but perhaps not soon. I need to read something fluffy ‘cause this certainly was not
I think books need a rating system
7/10 for half the story I was just begging Damian to put on a shirt. Like please, my boy, I beg. You are a literal twig. Please, I don’t want to see it. I get the whole “painting the R for Robin on his chest with his blood is symbolic for his character and him finally reconciling who he truly is” but please, he didn’t have to be exposed like that. The circles around his eyes were cool tho I did think those were sick
Also, someone give this boy a blanket and a cup of hot chocolate. He needs a hug

The Lazarus Tournament continues!
Highlights:
- Mother Soul is revealed to be Ruh Al Ghul, Ra's mother. Exiled to the island the tournament is on, she has been trying to gather enough souls to resurrect The Demon.
- The final fight of the tournament is between Damian and Connor Hawke. Both are stubborn, but Connor wins.... which immediately triggers The Demon to rise from the huge Lazarus Pit in the center of the island.
- In order to stop The Demon from possessing Connor's body (and thus gaining immense power) the rest of the tournament fighters band together to kill it. Joining the fray is a very much alive (though unexplained how) Ra's Al Ghul.
- Flatline and Robin share a kiss.
- Robin takes a vial of Lazarus fluid, wanting to use it to resurrect Alfred Pennyworth. He battles his inner demons and decides not to go ahead with it
- Flatline takes the heart of The Demon back to Lord Death Man and Damian agrees to go away with his mother Talia.
Overall a good read, though nothing crazy to write about. Much more interested to read about Robin vs Batman, which is upcoming for me.
Recommend, but not vital.

*originally read as monthly single issues*
I'm still really loving this series! The conclusion of this first arc was satisfactory and lead in to Shadow War was intriguing! But what continues to make this series shine is the wonderful cast of characters. Damien is so well written in this series and I'm happy to report that I've fully come into being a Damien stan. ROSE WILSON!!! <3<3<3 I love her part in this series, while I wish we could get more of her (I'm a greedy fan ok!) I still love what we get every issue. Her dynamic with Damien is great and Williamson writes her in a satisfying fashion that not every writer seems to be able to pull off. Hawke is still great, seeing bits and pieces of Talia is always a good time, and I even really enjoy Flatline. Not to mention the art in this series is fantastic every month.

This was a great continuation of the first volume. We learn a lot about the different Leagues (so many to keep up with), the all Ghul family, and more of Damian's tournament peers. I've never been a big fan of the album Ghul side of things, but this volume improved that a lot! I thought it was all interesting and I would love to read more stories like this. There are excellent character bits, especially with Damian. I was never sold on him until this series and its only gotten better. It's fun too see a character truly grow up. There's also really fun action (as there should be in a tournament arc) and art to go along with it, even if it does change. My only "complaint" was that the big villain felt a little anticlimactic (the big demon) but nevertheless it was still solid. Check it out if you enjoy Robin!
October 22, 2022
I struggled to even finish this, and mostly skimmed through the last third or so. I really enjoyed the first volume of this series based on Damian’s interactions with the other kids in the tournament and Melkinov’s energetic art. Unfortunately these issues quickly swap in a much worse fill-in artist in Cruz and abandon the previously fun character interactions for the worst sort of convoluted cape comic nonsense that a non-comic reader might imagine when they hear that someone older than middle school still reads comics. More specifically, it’s a melodramatic dive into tedious al Ghul family lore and infighting with everyone’s emotions pitched up to “Dragonball Z characters screaming at each other” levels of over-the-top, and my god I couldn’t have been less interested in any of this. I won’t be reading any more of this series.
May 27, 2022
Final rounds of the tournament are underway. Who gets the ultimate chance at immortality?
and...
...fight a big green gooey demon? Ick.
This battle is a turning point for Damian and his crew. It seems Damian just needed a little reminder about his place in the world. Pennyworth to the rescue! We also get an info dump on the League of Assassins/Shadows/Lazarus and the status of all the big players.
Bonus: Flatline still has the emotional depth of a EKG machine. Keep trying, guys.
Bonus Bonus: Lazarus resin is EVERYWHERE now!
Bonus^3: Respawn is STILL two dimensional, but clearly has connections to Deathstroke and Ravager.

while its still pretty decent, all the setup from the first volume comes to a very rushed conclusion and it just feels unsatisfying. even the annual at the end (which really should have been in the last volume) exists to establish characters in the tournament we never really got to see and the characters we did see barely got any screentime and fights with them were brushed over. and then the last couple issues just almost feel like filler.
i love anime tournament arcs, but this just feels like it wanted to skip all the fights and get straight to the end.
fun idea, solid enough execution but overall missed potential

Similar to the first volume, the best scenes take place when Robin talks to Alfred's memory. With Robin's interactions with Ras, Talia, Ravenger, and Flatline, Williamson creates excellent moments to build Damian's personality by focusing on his human side.
I love the Al ghul storyline. I enjoy the Damian and Flatline friendship. Overall, I appreciate that this comic becomes character driven instead of focusing solely on the one-dimensionally video arcade game style of fighting with "lives" to spare.
The mystery continues to build from volume 1 and the family elements are strong. Looking forward to continuing this series.
