![]() ![]() It isn’t a masterpiece, of course, but I knew that when I reviewed the last issue. Neither is particularly appealing to think about. Either Jason is an idiot or the writer overlooked it. An oversight like this can only mean a few things. ![]() This works as part of his character arc but it results in him using her real name when fighting Shriek. For example, Jason refuses to call Gan Robin until the end of the story. Some of my complaints are small things as well. (Another perk of short stories! Annoying twists don’t get dragged out.) ![]() Thankfully, there aren’t enough pages available to dwell too much on this and the conflict is resolved quickly. We spent the whole last issue seeing Gan convince Jason to train her and his flipflop makes it feel like we’re moving backwards. I understand why the plot required it, but it really annoyed me nonetheless. This leads to her striking out on her own to fight Shriek. ![]() My biggest complaint is Jason deciding Gan shouldn’t be Robin. While I still enjoyed this issue, I think there was a slight quality drop off from the first part. We pick up this week with a training montage that follows up the promise issue one made on its last page. More two issue comics, please! But I digress, for I must now talk about the story within. A two issue series! Big pat on the back to everyone involved. Less than a month later and this story is already complete. ![]()
