I don't get it; they're turning Robin into a villain now? Why, DC? Why? :(
 
I guess they figure since it worked so well on Batgirl, why not try it with Robin.

I'm seriously starting to think they're just crazy. Like, lead-paint-on-the-walls, Charles-Manson-carving-swastikas-into-his-forehead, with-a-capital-C Crazy.
 
If Robin gets turned evil, even momentarily and does something horrible, I'm pretty sure I'd drop that title like a hot plate.
Although it's great to see Dixon return, I'm a big fan of his Nightwing run, I'm really going to miss Beechen, especially when he does the interraction between Bruce and Tim.
 
Beechen needs to stay away from Cassandra Cain. As far as damn possible. The bastard.
 
Has he ever written a good comic?
 
I got behind on Robin and finally caught up on the past two issues. I kind of enjoyed the whole Dodge storyline. It was wrapped up pretty good and everything. Nothing groundbreaking or anything that hasn't been done before, but a solid Robin story.

So, Beechen is leaving the title? I wonder who will pick up the writing duties then. Hopefully someone who can do something a little more interesting with the title than Beechen has done. Beechen just sort of seemed like a hit and miss kind of guy for the Robin title.
 
Yeah, I can't wait. Good Robin comics again. What a crazy shock to the system...
 
Sweet. Chuck Dixon! All right! I can definitely live with that. Hopefully he has a nice run on the book. And hopefully he doesn't have a deal like Waid does with The Flash, just writing three books or something like that, haha.
 
I read in Wizard and in the Official Flash thread that Mark Waid and Daniel Acuna's run was only three issues and that another team would take over after them.
 
I didn't know it was just three issues. I figured he'd only be on for an arc or something, but I thought it would be a full, six- or eight-issue, trade-sized arc.
 
I am not entirely sure on the three issues thing, I swear I did read that somewhere, but I know that it's not a very long run at all. Because over in the Flash thread most posters were upset that Waid would have such a short run on a title like The Flash. And they already had the next creative team announced after him and that team escapes me right now...but it's no Mark Waid, that's for sure.
