Damian is super short. I do like Starfires slight slip up with names.

I actually like Shawn a lot but that was such a meh opening to a new arc. And Dami's motives of heading to the Blud? Oh well, he's just a child. Damn, why am I not feeling the hype for this issue as I felt for when I saw the previews for #15...

[Alycat]

I feel like these first few pages are build up. Also I like Shawn and their lack of stupid problems. She is clearly not perfect, where did that even come from? Also hipsters????

I love Shawn and their lack of stupid problems!

This has a weird time line, right?

Yeah it does considering last issue unless that's already happened and Dick just doesn't know it.

Okay this issue seems funny as hell. WTF Damian. I don't like these two having issues. Also was he eating a giant sack of peanuts?

I know Damian see's himself as Batman, but even he loved his time as Robin under Dick. I wouldn't think that he would see a DickBats as invalid.

God, Fernandez's city shots are beautiful. His darkier, more stylistic art would be a better fit for Blüdhaven than To. I'm torn though, because I don't think To would be a good fit for the globetrotting, and I'd rather have the artist I like more in the arcs I like more.

Edit: Not Seeley's fault, but it makes me fume that Bruce has taken in Duke as a son in the manmer, but Damian is living in San Francisco. I don't mind Duke as a character, but the way they are using him right now and the way that they are using Damian right now makes Bruce look like a really, really bad dad.

I love it when Damian acts like a little brat lmao this is gonna be fun to read

They are not handling it very well at all. I wouldn't even mind if they showed his pets every now and then or made mention of him a bit. The whole thing looks bad and it's not going to pay off because Duke isn't catching on.

[The Whovian]

Lol, this issue looks good. I actually like Shawn.

[HellHere]

I am so very ready for Bludhaven to be done with, but I am also ready for Dick and Shawn to have Problems. So.

Also, I wondering if the Horsemen are going to give Stallion troubles.

CRY im the opposite im hype to see Damian and thats it LMFAO i just dont want Shawn and Dick to turn into a relationship soap opera, because if it does imma have to drop.

[Alycat]

Maybe because most of his friends and family are hiding something? They certainly hide the fact that they are superheroes/vigilantes. Far as we know, Shawn isn't hiding her past or anything else. Dick thinks he knows the worst about her already. Also they are clearly still in the honey moon phase, no need to be offended.

Hmm i can see that point, but when its worded like that, its kinda like a slap in the face you know? Dick is a sueprhero he knows why he has to hide his secret identity or else the events of Grayson erasing everyone's memory of him would have never happened you know? I just thought it was weirdly worded. Im not actually offended lol i just think that if one of his friends heard it, they would be offended because as a superhero its part of who you are you know? And Dick has more than understood that part so i just thought it was a bit weird for him to say that. And yeah i know they are in the honeymoon stage, its just the most annoying stage lol and im hoping it doesnt turn into soap opera drama going into the arc makes me less excited you know?

Yeah Shawn is too perfect and I know 2 month went by in that one comic but too me it is cheating and is not a true build up in comparison to the character of Dick Grayson. Shawn wont have legs as a character if this keeps up, I don't agree with how Seeley writes Damian and Dick as hipsters.
