Robin #164

Robin dominates this September 2007 cover in a dynamic aerial dive, cape fanning out behind him as he bears down on a bloodied opponent in a blue hoodie — intensity practically radiating off the page. Patrick Gleason and Wayne Faucher deliver a composition that feels genuinely kinetic, with swirling green energy filling the background and adding an almost supernatural charge to the confrontation. With Adam Beechen writing and Freddie E. Williams II on interior art, "Making the Band" looks like another sharp entry in this run of the Boy Wonder's solo series.
