Review

“Intriguing.”—USA Today

“Powerful effects and sharp characterization.”—Publishers Weekly

“Watching [Robin] struggle to reconcile his mother's cold-blooded anger with his father's compassion and nobility (and not a little outright arrogance from both sides of the family tree) has been one of the highlights of the comics reading experience in recent years.”—Maxim

“This is the kind of Batman story I like to read: an actual mystery with an emotional hook.”—The Onion AV Club

“The storytelling is crisp, punchy and clean—in both words and art—even when they both get pretty dark. I think that's what I loved most about this book, the way the two complimented each other so well.”—Time Out Chicago

“Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason are knocking it out issue after issue.”—Wired.com

“Rock solid.”—IGN

 “A fascinating story about a very complicated relationship.”—Newsarama

“Tomasi and Gleason have upped their collective game.”—iFanboy
