Batman vs. Robin by Mark WaidMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a fun read, but it serves ultimately as a prequel to DC's Lazarus Planet event.
As a consequence, the first four issues are fantastic, but the fifth jumps to the AFTER, so it's place as the final piece of the story is clunky. If you'd like the whole story, make sure you get the Lazarus Planet story alongside this one, so you can read that between issues 4 and 5.
I loved the way this plays with Batman's history with each Robin. Ultimately, it's about Bruce and Damian, but there are some great moments featuring the other Robins as well.
I do enjoy the magic side of things, though I've found it hit and miss within DC's different stories. Here, I enjoyed it, and I liked how the villains came together. It seemed logical enough for me so I was happy to be along for the ride.
The final issue makes things a bit messy and changes the tone completely, but up until that point it's a great story.
