Writer: Peter J. Tomasi
Artist: Patrick Gleason
Not much has changed in Batman's world, the biggest change would probably be when and how Bruce met the four Robins. Regardless, these four volumes centers upon the eponymous heroes, as they try their mettle against "Nobody"(I read the Spanish translation, so maybe his name might be different), a phantom of sorts from Bruce's past. The story itself is pretty interesting, and the interactions between characters fantastic. Alfred proves to be quite snarky, Damian delightfully aprehensive and Bruce very stiff and brooding, just like they should.
As for the art, it's not my cup of tea, I'm not a fan of Gleason's faces, but the style is fit for Batman. There are loads of blacks, particularily in the Manor scenes. Something I liked a lot, is how many of these blacks are avoided in daylight outdoors scenes, makes a nice contrast.
I grant it 9 Red Hoods out of 10.
