But Why Tho? - William Tucker
Jul 11, 2023Knight Terrors: Robin #1 features two insidious nightmares. It has two characters that only bond over a title they have both used, sending them on separate paths within the same space. Read Full Review

The Batman Universe - Jamie Remolde
Jul 14, 2023This is a very enjoyable part of the Knight Terrors story line and also is a great stand-alone story that does not require the reader to be fully immersed in the overall story as is often the case with these types of crossovers. Read Full Review

Jul 12, 2023Tim Drake and Jason Todd begin their joint nightmare working a case with the help of Oracle. Soon they find themselves separated, and each hero is forced to relive a traumatic moment in their history. Soon, Jason is able to communicate with Tim and the two must determine how to proceed.The Story: I found this narrative interesting, but I am curious as to how this will fit into the overall storyline. It is, however, nice to see a team up with the two Robins. I look forward to the next chapter of their tale.The illustration features a traditional comic design highlighted by detailed character and background work. This technique, combined with a bold color scheme captures the tone of the issue and allows the reader to emotionally connect with the work. Read Full Review

Comic Crusaders - Christopher R. Ford
Aug 09, 2023In the end, Knight Terrors: Robbin #1 is a fascinating look at what motivated two kids to become sidekicks of the Dark Knight. It is an emotional ride for the characters and also the readers as the answers for both are quite dark. One particular panel featuring Tim having a breakdown inside the nightmare is so well written and drawn, it will stick with you afterwards. This may be Insomnia's cruelest nightmare yet. Can Jason and Tim put their personal issues to the side and escape? They might just need a miracle in issue #2. Read Full Review

Jul 12, 2023While I haven't been sold on "Knight Terrors" as an event that much yet, Knight Terrors: Robin #1 is solid. Not only does the issue give readers the same general conceit as the rest of the eventthe villain Insomnia has dragged everyone into dreams where they face nightmaresbut it adds an added element by having Tim Drake and Jason Todd dragged down together so they aren't just facing nightmares, they are facing each other's nightmares while connected.

You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff
Jul 12, 2023Once the pattern is established, things settle down. And they shouldn't be settling down. Because they need to be tightening up with respect to the drama. It is a lot more fun watching the pattern of the issue establish itself than it is actually watching it play out to its cliffhanger ending. This is really too bad, as the story started out with such a strong and offbeat tone. The surrealism had a powerful connection to the crossover. Porter had been doing such a good job early on. Dual-track psychological action/horror is very difficult and tricky stuff to manage. Read Full Review

This story, written by Kenny Porter with Miguel Medonça and Adriano Lucas on art, pulls double duty with both Tim Drake and Jason Todd getting pulled into an Insomnia-caused nightmare. I appreciated the nice balance Porter took in giving each Robin an individual narrative that end up being part of the same nightmare. His depiction of two characters that haven't always been written consistently from book to book felt natural to how we generally see the two today - Tim's need to continue proving himself by pushing his own boundaries to the limits, and Jason's disillusionment with working as part of a team. I especially appreciated the fact that Tim was able to make a connection to Doctor Destiny so quickly, highlighting just how intuitive he more

Overall, it's not the worst story DC has put out recently, but it really failed to hit in the ways it could have had Porter stretched these nightmares in slightly different ways. All we get is a jaunt down the same paths we've seen with both of these characters with nothing new added to them to bring more clarity or even a different viewpoint to them. Tim, by far, walks away with the better story here, whereas Jason is truly dragged back to the grave. Perhaps Porter will show us something invigorating in the second issue, but given how this one has started, this comic appears to be splashing old things with Halloween colors. Disappointed, but not surprised.
