“"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 ”
