Robin #131

Part 4 of 8 in War Games Act Three, this December 2004 installment puts Robin at the center of Gotham's escalating gang warfare, as dramatized on Dustin Nguyen's striking cover. Robin is caught mid-leap between rooftops against a blood-red sky, with a menacing figure looming above and an armed opponent below — the city's architecture framing the danger closing in on all sides. With Bill Willingham writing and Thomas Derenick on interior art, this chapter of the crossover event captures the Boy Wonder stretched thin and surrounded, making for a tense and compelling read.
