Really enjoyable, just disjointed.

We start off with Damien's origins. It's similar to Morrison's take except get a little bit more of a inside look at Damien's views. I also really dug the fact you see Damien always thought his father special yet never shows him that when he meets him.

The whole new bad guy, I even forgot his name, is forgettable. He's basically dying and wants Batman to suffer. Nothing new here. What helps these issues is Damien making his mark on the other Robin's from the past. We always knew damien was on the same level as most Robins, more ruthless anyway, but it was nice to see all their personalities clash. I especially like Nightwing and his interaction because of their past it hits home the most.

The ending I guess is like a tie in to death of the family, but it's kind of boring. I liked Damien being smart and using tactics like his father but the end kind of felt forced tbh. I didn't feel the emotional draw.

Overall the art is still top notch, and I enjoy Damien's growth and character interaction, we just didn't have a great villain like last volume.
