Leaning in 2 stars but that last issue was so enjoyable I bumped it up. This was kind of a mess. A hodge podge-d, tie in filled mess.This, like Son of Batman vol 2, was sidetracked by Robin War. I still haven't read that arc but it invaded 2 books I used to love. I don't really understand this arc and I don't know that I need to. It looks like it introduced Duke Thomas, who I love, so it has that going for it. There was some pretty awesome stuff with Damian so that was great. Dick looked lovely

Grayson battles pirates before e story goes into full hacker mode. Apparently the whole security thing or the sheer number and size of the images on the internet are nothing compared to software one of Robins (I still can't tell them apart) wrote to check every digital image AND find matches that arguably are hit and miss even if you were to check them manually. Well, that software does it all and a bag of chips. Then he has the gall to call it simple and something used to check for copyright in...

I liked this a lot. Like a lot a lot. Aside from the back and forth I had to do to get all the Robin War stories in, I have to say that the story in this volume was extremely compelling. Not to mention the fact that Dick and Tiger’s banter is hilarious and great. What a pair. I love these two characters. I actually laughed out loud at the panel about the pencil, and I don’t remember the last time a comic book had me laugh. So that’s a plus. The global montage with Dick singing that stupid song -...

The I am Robin/Robin War takes too much of the space here, a crossover of fair quality but completely different tone. In changing the tone, for a temporary run, the Grayson series seems more wacky, more Matt Helm than James Bond, and it works thanks to some great art talent. Janin and Mooney really deliver, and the diverse hands on the Robin War stuff are ok. I am, however, curious how this wraps up in the next volume.Mildly recommended.

I was seriously considering giving this an extra star just for Dick's song and Tiger's contributions to the proceedings. The Robin Wars confused me, but I'm guessing that's to be expected since I haven't read concurrent Batfamily titles. That will likely change since it did stir my interest on Jason, Tim, and Damian. And the Court of Owls.Dammit, I have so much catching up to do in DC and in Marvel. I need more free time. EDIT: Glad to know I wasn't the only one confused with Robin Wars. From re...

So, out on a limb with five stars for this volume of Grayson. It's a little high for a late-blooming sidekick-ish series, and a little high for being based on the premise that Dick Grayson was outed as Robin then killed in a public broadcast.BUT...This is a serous volume in two respects: The Robin War (and Dick's part in resolving it), and a local peak in the "superhero spy" self-referential irony that has been ongoing in the series.On the Robin War: (I recommend the collected issues in Robin Wa...

There is a loooottttt of Robin war stuff in here. I thought people would never stop saying “I am robin” “I’m not robin” etc over and over. Luckily I have a v established weakness for Robins past and present, and Dick and Damian especially got to do some stuff here. Also I’m a sucker for that trope of a rag tag group of kids being winnowed down to the “best” who demonstrate their scrappiness/intelligence/stubbornness in crazy ways, so I ultimately sorta liked it? But I was also relieved when Dick...

[Read as single issues]I'm confused as to what this is actually going to collect (as usual, thanks DC). The solicitation material says Robin War #1-2, and Grayson #13-16, which is just a weird combination. You'd think it'd be at least #13-17, since that's the final Seeley/King issue before Lanzing/Jackson take over to finish off the series. Anyway.Robin War being collected is peculiar, since it's actually a Part 1-Part-2 type crossover with more issues than just those two and the Grayson issue;

Somehow, this 4th volume of Grayson struck me as considerably better than the first three. The strangest and most telling thing about that is that Dick Grayson himself is hardly in it, and when he is, he's really, well, just a dick. This takes place alongside the Robin Wars, and includes a few issues from that miniseries/event/whatever. I still have no idea why Robin Wars happened, and find it rather incredulous, even in the world of Gotham and DC. Tons of untrained kids get inspired to be part

I can see how if you were just reading the Grayson run and didn’t have any context for all the Robin War stuff then yo7 might not enjoy the first half as much. But all my boys together ❤️

You know what's one of my biggest pet peeves? When you have to track down a totally different series to understand what's going on in the one you're reading. Despite some interesting elements, this series is becoming opaque to people who don't want to read "Robins" or "Batman." I'm going to give it up.

WARNING: SHITTY CROSSOVERIt's been a while since I last picked up Grayson, but I really wanted to finish this title out because I enjoyed what I had read in the past.Unfortunately, this volume gets hijacked by the garbage crossover Robin War and I almost gave up on getting through it. Oof! This was such a pointless, stupid story. I am Robin.I am Robin. I am Robin.I am Robin. I am Robin.I am Robin. I am Robin.I am Robin.Really? How many times can you read that before it starts to work your last g...

This was a pretty good volume, with some great art. I am enjoying this version of Dick, and yet we still see his humor at points. "One week. I've been riding with you for one week!"

(B) 74% | More than SatisfactoryNotes: Mostly misplaced morsels of miniscule merit, it meliorates midway, made mandatory, meatier and more meaningful.

For some reason the Robin War bookends are collected here plus the Nightwing chapter of the crossover. Go read these in the Robin War collection if you have interest in this terrible crossover.So we're left with 3 issues that are really part of the Grayson book. Dick finds out that Spiral was creaded by Dr. Daedalus because he was bored and he also created Leviathan do so he'd always have bad guys to fight. So Agent 1 and 37 start taking out all the Spiral agents. It's all a bunch of convoluted

[insert complaint about how the New 52 annoyingly collected crossover events into separate trade paperbacks: HERE]....but I really did like the Agent 37 song and the beach scene on Corfu.3.5/5

The only reason this book isn't getting a one star rating is that Dick sang an adorable song while he was being Bond in the last issue. Otherwise, this was a terrible mismash of horrible. The beginning of Volume 4 of Grayson starts back in Gotham. Why? Because DC wanted a giant cross book event to sell more comics, so Dick tells his boss he's just wandering off for a bit. Really? The cross over event is some big war of Robins or something. I have no idea because the book didn't bother to explain...

I love the Robins (the original ones, not the gang wannabe Robins). Dick has been my favorite forever. And I dearly love Jason. My enjoyment of this series is purely based on Dick. He's a great character. But the story is always all over the place. Nothing fully makes sense. Like now Dick is part of Spyral and the Court of Owls? How did Dick get Agent 1 on his side? Get it together DC.

Uh, 2/3 of this book is not Grayson... But the parts that are Grayson, I really liked (as per usual)....How many times do I have to complain about messing with my collected editions? :(Hey, Editors! Can you please explain what you're doing? I'm reading Grayson over here, K thnx. Now I have to go back and read We Are Robin…, Volume 1: The Vigilante Business and Robin War & no one on Goodreads seems to have liked either....Ok, now that I've complained, let's split this review into two parts: We Ar...

5 🌟After a bank robbery gone bad, the city makes the Robin Laws. The original Robins help the other Robin's and Dick joins the Parliament of Owls. Dick and Agent One/ Tiger are taking down Sypral operatives. They also find out who Agent 0 is.
