Enjoyed this a lot more than Vol 1 - even if it is still a little weird with the Lazarus Pit story lol. I liked the focus more on Damian and Dick's relationship, especially Dami's interaction with his moth and finally choosing to be Robin once and for all. Loved the whole "clue" type mystery of exploring the old old parts of Wayne Manor. Felt like a haunted house and it was awesome.
People say Talia's always a little too malicious with Damian, so I'm wondering if they ever change her to be a softer character in future runs. Maybe it's because I read these without really pausing between the dialogue, but it felt like Damian got over the whole "controlling me through machines in my spine" pretty quickly though. I would think they'd be a bit more on edge about seeing Talia after that? Idk. Still was nice to see him confront and fully break from her
I'm excited to read Vol 3 with the Joker being revealed. I guess I didn't read Sexton as goofy enough to be Joker in disguise, but I also didn't realize he even had an accent either. My struggles with reading comics rather than prose.

This volume is exactly why I love Damien. His character arc over this series of volumes has been spectacular. He's his own person, despite all those vying for him, and he makes unexpected choices all the time.
The pieces of the puzzle are coming together slowly as Gotham descends into near anarchy, with Batman and Robin dealing with their own problems. The reveal at the end is a complete shocker!
Excellent.

Great storyline, and epic cliffhanger I didn't see coming!

This time it was the latter 3 issues I enjoyed more. The Blackest Night tie-in was fine, but just didn't really graph my interest ever--maybe I would've liked it more if I had read the main Blackest Night story first. But anyway, the second 3 issues were very enjoyable. Here's hoping Morrison finishes strong.

A much more streamlined collection of issues than its predecessor. Damian and Dick are working on their relationship issues and as one would expect, the League of Assassins health plan has some very steep hidden fees.
