Batman and Robin, Volume 3: Death of the Family
by Patrick Gleason, Mick Gray, Scott Snyder, Peter J. Tomasi, Jonathan Glapion, Greg Capullo
Man this series remains one of the best New52 comics that I completely missed years ago. So this volume ties in with Death of the Family, which is one of my favorite Batman arcs ever. So I was excited to get Damien's story on it. We also get a two part arc at the start of Damien setting up little reminders for his father so his dad has to go on a hunt. It's cute, adorable, and real father and son loving. The last issue deals with the fallout of death of the family and you get to see Bruce/Damien/Alfred deal with their nightmares.
What I liked: The start of this volume is great. Really gets you to like Damien. I then love when Joker meets Damien and they go head to head. They've done this before in Batman and Robin in Morrison run and it was great but here it's even better. Damien has to face his fear and fight his father jokerized. I really like the Death of the Family issue in here. If you haven't read death of the family arc in Main batman line I'd recommend reading that first.
What I didn't like: The last issue felt little weak in comparison. The nightmares seemed to be a little forced, not very compelling, not huge insight into the character that I expected.
Overall I loved the HELL out of this volume as I did the previous ones. I really hope this series continuing being as good as it is. I expect it will be due to Peter being the writer. He never lets me down.
