Robin is just starting out at the side of Batman, struggling to find his own path from personal tragedy to being a Superhero. The Eisner-winning superstar team of writer Jeff Lemire (Sweet Tooth) and artist Dustin Nguyen (Batman) unite for a three-issue limited-series exploring the beginning of Dick Grayson’s crime-fighting career. The legendary story of Batman and Robin has reached nearly mythic proportions: the crime-fighting Dynamic Duo, always one step ahead of the criminals they pursue and never meeting a case too big. This isn’t that story. This is the story of a young Dick Grayson, newly orphaned, struggling to find his way in a strange, difficult, dark new world…This is the story of Robin and Batman.

From the creators of Descender and Ascender? I’m in!
The art is just fantastic—dark, blurry city views, Batman’s cape looks awesome, very nice two page panels. The main characters look a bit similar to a couple of characters from Descender but that’s fine.
Dark atmosphere and grounded fights. The story overall is nothing to write home about and some of Robin's monologues can feel simple but it works for a 12 year old super hero who tries to figure out who he is. Also there are a few other DC characters, but that's a surprise.
I need more of this art style, so I’m starting the next Ascender volume!
