Fabian Nicieza to leave Legion Lost, Tom DeFalco steps up

REVIEW: Red Robin #15
Being a masked crime fighter has its advantages; your anonymity makes you somewhat terrifying, while protecting those closest to you. On the other hand, once your secret is out, the criminal element can pass and share that information faster than a wild rumor that Bruce Willis is in the next Batman movie. For Tim Drake Wayne, the return to Gotham has not only given him a new mission, it’s given those who want to reveal secret identities a renewed reason to break the big story.
Review: Red Robin #13
When you’ve been out of the country for a few months, hoping to find yourself and clues to the disappearance of your adopted father, your return to your hometown better be monumental. Red Robin (YUM) is back, and he’s ready to bring Tim’s Justice to those that prey on the weak.

Review: Robin #183
Not with a BANG, but a KRAK-A-DOOOOOOM!
When you cancel a series, it is always good to go out with a bang, and Robin #183 goes out in a way that makes the reader realize Tim Drake Wayne is more of a hero mastermind than Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman combined. Robin #183 is the last installment of the current series, and delivers a story that might just be the best single issue of 2009.

Review: Robin #181
Wow. I mean, really, wow.
After the climactic explosion that ended last issue, and the announcement DC was canceling the Robin title in February, the fate of Tim Drake really seemed to be in question. Fortunately, comic books run like the Saturday morning serials of yesteryear, the reports of Tim’s death have been greatly exaggerated. That doesn’t mean Robin’s life won’t be shaken, in fact this issue might be the event that changes everything…again!
