    The Promise

    Robin pushes himself to the limit to round up a couple escapees from Arkham Asylum (Riot Act and Lockup) and a short abrupt meeting with Commissoner Gordon. Its when Robin goes to stop a hostage situation where things escalate for the Boy Wonder. One of the hostages has been killed before he can get there and when he finds out which one it was who killed him Robin gives him no mercy. But its the last few pages of Robin where Robin (and Batman) visit Jack (and Janet) Drake's grave that were the best of the entire story. It was well delivered and well written, after I finished I sat the comic aside and thought WOW. Its been a long time since a Robin comic has done that. The only problem I had with the comic was the cover, a little macabre for Robin.
