Blogging Baltimore Part Deux

I love Robin and I love the current creative team on the book. They sell twenty thousand plus a month despite the fact they are putting out one of the best books every single month. Adam Beechen’s writing is excellent and Freddie Williams just gets superhero art. His fight scenes flow so naturally from move to move.

That being said, it’s just been announced Chuck Dixon is returning to the book. It’s fair to say this comic would still be on the shelf without this guy having been on the book for a 9 years but the old saying “You can’t return home” comes to mind.

I can’t think of a single writer who returned to their most well received run and had just as much success the second time around. Claremont on Uncanny, DeFalco on Amazing Spider-Man etc.

Frank Miller on Daredevil is one exception to that rule. His second run is even better than the first
