REVIEW : Robin #178: Some Friendly Advice for Fabian Nicieza

This comic book is so bad it made my anus bleed……..and I’m a robot! -Slugtron
I don’t know why I keep reading these, they always seem to make me mad.
I hate how Robin is written. I miss the good old days, when I was reading a “Robin” comic I actually felt empathetic to his love triangles and was afraid of what might happen to him in a fight, always questioning his ability. You know, keeping his secret from his dad, and trying to impress Bruce.
With Fabian Nicieza writing, even his inner monologue doesn’t bring me any closer to the character. It’s like he wants people to read his book and constantly say out loud, “Robin’s bad ass!” But I don’t read Robin for a story about a bad ass, that’s why I read Batman. I want someone that is trying their hardest to be bad ass, and thinks they’re a bad ass, but is actually just an annoying twerp that is in way over their head.
I don’t care about Zoanne and Tim, and at the rate of Spoiler being in the book two pages a month, (the last two issues, he runs into her at school for a page, and then she gets the last page of the book for a lame cliff hanger) I really don’t care about her either.
This book seems so phoned in. I don’t know who would want to write a series where it feels like nothing can change. It also feels like Fabian is hung up on two ideas that he can’t make anyone else care about. I don’t care about Red Robin unless you do something with him. And Spoiler doing stuff behind Tim’s back is lame, Spoiler should have actual interaction with Tim to create drama. They teach this stuff at your first day of writing school. “Don’t avoid confrontation, give the readers what they want, people avoiding interaction is boring.”

What? I love reading comics in which nothing happens and everyone avoids each other and I don’t care about the characters because the writing is so bad!
Oh, hey, look at that, one of my wires is loose… THERE we go!
Wait, I –>HATE<– comics in which nothing happens and everyone avoids each other and I don’t care about the characters because the writing is so bad!
A little advice for the loser who reviewed this:
Kill yourself, you overweight douchebag.
EM, I don’t think Dr. Cyborg is overweight. That’s a common stereotype for nerds, but not always true. Kinda like people from Amsterdam being complete tools.
WOW. Some strong feelings from EM. He must be blowing Robin regularly.
It’s also weird that weight was brought into it. I didn’t realize that was considered to be a harsh insult for men. “Yah, well…you’re FAT. Burn!”
Pa-lease.
So if we go with EM’s idea that people that write for a nerd website must be overweight, what does that say about the guy that reads it then bitches about it? I’m guessing he’s the fat ass-stuck in moms basement-never been laid kind of guy that wishes he were clever and funny like our good friend Dr. Cyborg.
It’s funny that Dr. Cyborg is the fittest bot I know…
Listen EM, you don’t like me, and I won’t give you man breast implants. I won’t. Sorry. I’m also a lawyer.
