Scott's Take: The Boy Wonder by Juni Ba

 

The Boy Wonder by Juni Ba is an Elseworld’s tale with a unique art style focused on the youngest Robin Damian Wayne as he once again deals with his family issues. Told as part fairytale and part real time story with the two story halves being described on the same page, this is a complex read. There is a demon abducting people across the city of Gotham. Damian Wayne attempts to stop it. Along the way interacts with various members of his family and tries to work on his issues.

 

I read this through the DC Infinite app as each of the five issues were released on the app. The art is very different than I am used to. I liked it for the most part, but I could see why someone would not. It is a good tale despite the fact that a lot of this was retreading stuff covered by other writers. It could have been more original. Overall, I recommend it for fans of Robin.
