Batman and Robin, Volume 1: Born to Kill by Guy Major, Patrick Gleason, Mick Gray, Peter J. Tomasi, Pat Brosseau, John Kalisz
4.0
Part of my joy of reading this book came from the fact that I had to wait so long to get to it. (Dishonor on those who do not return their library books).
I'm pretty unfamiliar with Damian Wayne, but that didn't stop me from being interested in the series. Likewise, anyone else who isn't familiar with Damian or his past shouldn't shy away, because the comic does a fine job of explaining his back story through the narration (in a typical comic flashback kind of way).
While it seems like the story is about the new villain, Nobody, at the core, it is really a father/son story, and a good one at that. They don't hate each other, but they don't understand each other (spoiler, I stole that line from the comic), and that's an interesting way to take on this kind of story.
