Batman and Robin is a pretty good comic book to read. Long as you like Batman Comics or at least try it out to see if like it..

Robin #134-139.
A major step up from the last dozen Willingham issues, now that he's allowed to do his own thing. The art is unfortunately inconsistent since there are four artists over these six issues (and the inking on the second issue is so bizarre and sloppy that it looks like a fifth artist). But this book is far more entertaining and readable than it had been since Willingham took over. This is essentially used as a way to dump all that wasn't working from his first year on the title and rebuild. There's a fun overarching story about the hit Penguin placed in Robin and Batgirl, and that opens the door for strange one-off villains while leaving space for the return of subplots. I especially enjoy checking in on Tim's custody situation. Tim himself makes the conscious decision to be a light in the darkness of his recent life events, so that gives the book an upbeat tone that I've been missing.
This is just the kind of entertaining, no-nonsense adventure comic that Dixon perfected in his years the title.
