Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not bad, except for ending
To sum it up, Steph was given the raw end of the deal when it came to being Robin.

Seriously, I think many of these hacks that get hired to be editors of comic companies have issues with women, relationships, people who could accomplish what they couldn't in their wildest dreams, or all of the above.


The end of Steph being Robin, along with the end of War Games, is pretty much what led me to stop reading DC for the longest time (I already stoped with Marvel after ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - From Spoiler to Girl Wonder
This trade is a compilation of a few different storylines. The primary one centers on the continuous and tenacious quest by Spoiler to be accepted as an integral member of Batman's inner crime fighting family, and in this particular instance, by actually becoming Robin. With Tim Drake currently "retired", Batman, who is quite appreciative of her steadfast persistence, finally accedes to it and grants her the Robin mantle on a probationary basis. We witness her trials and tribulations and also learn ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Unfocused introduction to War Games
I had actually read the War Games series as well as War Crimes before finally getting around to this one. I can tell you it didn't make that much of a difference whether or not I read it before or after. There are a lot of stories in this trade paperback, but the only one that interested me that much was the final one where Stephanie Brown takes over as Robin for a short while. In fact it is so short, I can barely even count her as being one of the Robins as it was only for about 49 days.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A good, episodic collection of intrigue
"Batman: War Drums" is a collection of some of the latest stories in the comics. Batman has been moving from what I would have called "self-contained" storylines to some type of "expanding" storylines. Let me explain what I mean.

"Self-contained storyline:" typically a story told within four to six issues of the same comic. One storyline might run from Batman #300-#306, for example.

"Expanding" storyline: A story is much more complex, spanning several issues of ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - 15 minutes of Fame for the New Robin....
This collection collects Detective Comics #790-796 and Robin #126-128 and is written by Anderson Gabrych and Bill Willingham (Fables) and illustrated by Pete Woods and Damion Scott. The first story is a stand-alone and deals with Batman on the eve of Jason Todd's (ex-Robin) birthday. The next two stories deals with how a female Rap star has her sister missing and injured by a rival record lable and winds up in the care of Batman's long-time friend Dr. Leslie Tompkins. Leslie is kidnapped along with the ... Read More
