  Major Spoilers - Stephen Schleicher

  Jun 08, 2008

  I'm glad Stephanie is back. Here "death" all so long ago, really upset a lot of people, but did provide a new point o reasoning for Robin and Batman to do what they do. Character development was changed, but hopefully with the return of The Spoiler, Chuck Dixon doesn't erase all the motional stuff that was built these last couple of years, but instead uses these changes to further some really great tales. The Robin Spoiler issue is well done, but not something you absolutely must buy to enjoy the Robin title proper. Solid story and art earn this Special issue a solid 3.5 out of 5 Stars.

  Spoiler is back, and that makes me happy. The sour taste has not been totally washed from the DCU, but having Stephanie back in the universe brings back a certain amount of light, enthusiasm and joy for this reader. Read Full Review

  Is all right with the DC Universe and the world now that Stephanie has returned from her unceremonious and brutal death? I wouldn't go quite that far, but I will say that Robin's solo series might be a much stronger one now that a certain purple clad vigilante as joined the cast. Read Full Review

  The Weekly Crisis - Kirk Warren

  Jun 05, 2008

  I wasn't blown away by this issue like most of Dixon's Robin issues, but it was still a purchase I was ultimately happy with, but that's more with my love of Spoiler than with the actual contents of the issue. It was probably similar to how the recent Thunderbolts oneshots by Gage were okay outings, but don't really compare to the actual series by Ellis. That's how I view this in relation to the Robin series. Fills in some stories and is a decent read for fans of the characters but nothing that's absolutely a must read for anyone. Read Full Review
