This was a mixed bag with all the various partial tie-in issues. Worth the price of admission for issues 0 and 10 though. Both are great stories that explore the differences between Tim Drake and Dick Grayson.

Woof. This was a mess.
At some point I had to stop being invested in the stories because there was always a "continue in..." blurb saying that I'd have to go to a completely different comic to finish the arc. I know Robin is supposed to be the support, but when it's his own run, it really shouldn't be that way. It took me a long while to even want to finish reading this, but I persisted.
Issue 13 was interesting with Dick and Bruce. I like to see their dynamic and their frustration about the cowl. Jean Paul was a HUGE mistake. Also what was issue 10 about?! Good to know the fanfic trope of the batboys appearing out of time and then disappearing in a flash of light was inspired by comics, lol.
Tim should've gotten some kind of reprimand for beating up those bullies in... issue 11? Maybe 12? The ones from the movie theater. But it's nice to see his morals slip and slide like they usually do (*cough* *cough* the issue where Tim thinks about killing Cluemaster to save himself). He's a complicated character. It's one of the reasons why I love him so much, and why I decided to read his entire comics run as my first foray into batman comics. Stupid? Probs. Oh well, this is the hill I decided to die on.

This would have been stronger if they’d kept all the storylines intact. It bounces around a bit and leaves gaps. Still, it highlights the key Robin moments.

What can I say
It's a 90s superhero comic book. You can tell. By the fashion presented, by the storytelling. I still quite liked it but that's because I'm biased. I mean it focuses on Tim Drake-Robin. And he IS the best Robin. And you can see that in here. And I honestly don't know what else to say about it.
