Damian Wayne Robin Appreciation 2021

**HsssH** · 05-20-2021, 07:36 AM

Monthly sales are now hard to track due to DC using different distributor, but looks like Robin had a strong debut, number 7: https://www.comichron.com/monthlycom...1/2021-04.html

Obviously it will drop down in next few months as all series do after their debut, but this looks promising.

This makes me happy. I want this title to be a success. Not just for Damian but for the writer and artist as well. JW choosing to write a Damian robin series when he could have done a member of the JL was a risky bet and I want it pay off.

The game doesn't really explain why things are the way they are - it just says: "This kid killed Dick Grayson!" And everyone was like "Noo, right in the nostalgia! Lets hate this piece of crap without thinking too much!" (But that's understandable, not like the game expands on how it happened)

The comic had moments like 'Deadman Dick' coming back and officially giving Damian the mantle of Nightwing, and Damian's kind of/almost Romance with Kara while he taught her how to be a hero. He showed real growth and despite what he had to go through for it, I really enjoyed injustice for focusing on him.

(Also, I obviously mained him in the game - do you have any idea how annoying it is to fight Batman/Starfire/RH? "I have no words for Dick Grayson's killer." Goddamnit)

One more thing - wasn't Jon also responsible for his father's death by some Vampire plant that ate superman when they disagreed? I think i saw something like that in one of the lantern books.

Yupp. Why they gotta do my boys like this?

That sucks. Wasn't aware that Jon was even in Injustice.

This is not from Injustice, it is Morrison's Black Star mini. Basically entire point of it was to show how ridiculous Metal/Injustice and things like that are.

I’m really happy to see this! This data is not as reliable as it was in the past, but JW himself said recently in an interview that Robin #1 sold a lot and was a hit. I’m also rooting for the success of the creative team, especially for Gleb Melnikov, since this is his first ongoing at DC and I think he’s incredible. The sales will obviously drop with the next issues, but I hope it stays high enough to last.

I heard Morrison was firing shots in that series, sometimes even at themselves.

This I'm guessing is referencing Damian accidentally killing Dick. " I thought he'd catch it" lol

Bruce's smile in the last panel is nice

Fun series.

This panel made me laugh. Bruce's surprised face when Damian swings in is meme worthy.

Phew, hope that in the future there's no more killing-shock cliffhanger for Damian.

My English hearing is not very good so I might be more misinformed than the others -,-
Yeah, glad that Damian now is in the hand of the person who truly likes him.

I can relate. Since I moved to the UK I barely struggle when conversing in English after a few years but I struggle with Americans at times and heavy accents.

I was already not looking forward to this Injustice movie because I, honestly, really hate those games' stories (what is with Neatherrealm studios and their disappointing story modes?) but I actually forgot about Damian's involvement in it and that just makes me even less interested. Damian, Clark, and Diana are probably my least favorite parts of that whole universe. Though Damian at least gets...better. It's just that, by then, I'd already stopped even trying to care about him.

I see... One good begin.. We hope that it continues in a good position during all the comic..

I can understand Raven but..

Why Lee? Despite he is "a mishima" the real ones are strong compared with him..

Probably he would avoid Heihachi thinking that he reminds him his grandfather and with Nina and I am not sure.. He could think in her like in a cool assassin or in someone similar to his mother

I suppose Jin would have been the more obvious answer. But for Lee, I was thinking less from a story perspective and more on like....his personality and fighting style. Dude's always kinda reminded me of an older Damian lol

The agile fighter. The smug, rich, slightly power hungry ******* who's actually not as bad as he lets on and hates the elderly man who raised him. I could see Damian growing up to be kinda like him. The big difference is that Lee's issues are with his adopted family and Damian's are with his biological one.

Probably he would avoid Heihachi thinking that he reminds him his grandfather and with Nina and I am not sure.. He could think in her like in a cool assassin or in someone similar to his mother

God, I didn't even think about that but Heihachi really is just like Ra's lol
