Robin Rises Omega #1

In any other situation, this book is a '7'. It's getting 8 Grahams because I really, desperately want Damion to be around again, and this looks like my way to get it. If you're not familiar w/ the story of Damion Wayne and his famous father, there are 7 pages of story and art that lovingly bring new readers up to speed. Then, you can be as lost as the rest of us. The 'whats' of what's happening are clear, they 'whys' are not. Muddled as some of it is, the wonderful art by Andy Kubert is far from muddy. Printed on high end newsprint, there's a subtlety to the art/coloring that's delightful. Comics really don't look like this anymore. It's a pricey book for DC, but you'll get your money's worth with the high page count and Bat-antics. A fine addition to the Dark Knight's 75th anniversary month.
