In that storyline, it was discovered that Bea had a secret life as the Pirate Queen of the Crew of the Crossed Keys, a secret buccaneer society that helped to found Bludhaven. Now, I'm all in on a good pirate story, but I have to admit that the Pirate Queen arc was one of my least favorite Nightwing stories in a long time. As such, I was hesitant as to how the annual would unfold since Bea — not Dick — is the primary player.

In 1988, DC fans made the seminal choice in the history of DC publishing—voting to kill off Jason's Robin in the Death in the Family storyline. Now, for the first time, we find out how Jason's story would have unfolded had the fans voted to spare him. And it all begins with the murder of The Joker!
A survival storyline for Jason was never written in 1988, but writer J.M. DeMatteis and artist Rick Leonardi picked up where the original creatives, Jim Starlin and Jim Aparo, left off. Robin Lives #1 begins right after Batman #428, with Jason struggling for life in the hospital and The Joker dead at the hands of an unknown assassin... who might just be Batman himself.
Like the Starlin and Aparo storyline, much of the drama derives from Jason's inner and outer pain, Bruce's guilt at bringing his new Robin into the fray before he was better trained, and his failure to save him from The Joker and his crowbar. Bruce, Alfred, and Dick Grayson all try to support Jason through his recovery, but he finally decides to take matters into his own hands by facing Scarecrow alone...
History repeats. It was a similar decision that left him to the cruel devices of The Joker — and Jonathan Crane is a villain who has turned mind-fuckery into an art form. I can't wait to see where the subsequent three volumes take us!
Honestly, I didn't enjoy these stories as much as I did the previous volumes. Still a fan, though. Honestly, I didn't enjoy these stories as much as I did the previous volumes. Still a fan, though. ...more
