With fantastic art and great characterization, this could be the reinvention of Jason's early years that DC has needed for a while. But I'm already excited for this creative team to work on Tim Drake's origin next. Read Full Review

Robin & Batman: Jason Todd #1 is a poignant, gorgeously illustrated exploration of pain, parenthood, and the emotional landmines of mentoring a boy molded by grief. Lemire and Nguyen deliver a stunning, introspective take on the second Robin that feels every bit as essential as their first collaboration. Read Full Review

The early days of a dysfunctional duo start off with big promise. Lemires writing exposes the true impact of an angry sidekick. Nguyen orchestrates the chaotic backdrop where the pair struggles to function. With more to unlock, this series will have plenty to say about Robin and Batman. Read Full Review

Robin & Batman: Jason Todd #1 offers a deeply emotional, visually rich dive into the complex relationship between a grieving young vigilante and the man trying to guide him. With striking artwork and a script that leans into psychological nuance, Lemire and Nguyen craft a layered portrait of Jason Todd's early days under Batman's wing. It's a raw and reflective story that captures the volatility of a child shaped by trauma and the quiet burdens of a mentor who's still learning how to lead. This follow-up to their earlier work feels just as vital, if not more so. Read Full Review

Robin & Batman: Jason Todd #1 is a solid start to the series. It once again shows that Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen have great chemistry when they collaborate. They do a good job of highlighting Jason's core characteristics for both new readers and old. While those characteristics might be a little too on the nose, I think they are essential to Jason's story. And with the cliffhanger ending, I'm interested in what happens next for this incarnation of the Dynamic Duo. Read Full Review

I was a huge fan of Robin & Batman by Jeff Lemire, for me it's an underrated classic that never got the recognition it deserved. So I'm really glad to see that Lemire hasn't lost his touch. This new volume focused on Jason Todd starts off just as strong, and it's especially striking to see how much Batman has grown since his early days with Dick Grayson. With the constant flood of Batman titles these days, it's a shame that such gems like this sometimes slip through the cracks.

Truly delightful. We are living in the Batman comic renaissance era. Mark Waid, Jeff Lemire and Scott Snyder. All creating career defining works. What a time to be alive.

A Jason Todd comic that isn't about the edge lord/same ole same ole status quo that is Red Hood and takes us back to the basics??? The first page alone warrants a ten from me.

Finally a comic about Jason being Robin without Bruce being written as an asshole.

Oh my word, yes! Your comment is so accurate. I feel like I've waited an eternity for it.

I honestly had high hopes, and somehow it got surpassed. It's nice to see Jason Todd as a young Robin considering how he was unpopular as the successor to Dick Grayson. And I also like how Bruce Wayne here is very reasonable and level-headed, with him not knocking some sense into Jason Todd being a brat. Also Dustin Nguyen's art really works here, it's like a water color painting

Wow this is excellent. Lemire rarely disappoints, the watercolor is pretty good though not as transcendent as Peach Momoko

Lemire is one of my favorite writers and does a great job here though this story's been told so many times it reduces my excitement.
