This was really good!
Definitely better than Vol. 5, this kept me very interested in the story.
I hope Batman gets Damian back!

THIS WAS SO GOOD!
Like after the last volume this was a step up like first we have Bruce team up with Arthur as they deal with dead shark and Ra's whose taken Talia and Damian's body and then the villain goes to Paradise island and well team up with Diana and its a good team up and finally the big war in Nanda parbat as he teams with Frankenstein and well the war there is awesome as it involves everyone when Godfrey comes in and takes Damian's body to Apokolips cuz Chaos Shard and well a big war awaits everyone and what Batman does next with the Hell-bat armor and his next mission is gonna change everything.
This was such an epic volume in terms of action and scale and bringing continuity and using every facet of Batman's lore in a way that makes it a great read and showing Bruce the father will do anything for his son and man Tomasi excels in it and he brings that conflict and rage and pain and the action all in this volume setting the stage for an excellent finale that will be epic in scale and story and emotions. One of my fav Batman volumes ever! This was insanely good!

I loved everything about this. We have a grieving father on the hunt for his stolen son's dead body, (Ra's al Ghul took both Talia and Damien's body from their graves on Wayne's estate) with the assistance of the Justice League. I especially loved the fast paced story, the dialogue and the artwork of the extensive team of pencilers, inkers and colourists who worked on this story heart wrenching story.

We open up to a very cartoon, kid friendly like art, and meet with some horrific concepts (like the multiple whale births of Robin)... so I can get why the art went that direction. I mean throwing Damian's corpse around (via Ra's's sarcophagus) would be a lot to take in otherwise
That aside, it was okay. It's build-up to what Batdad would do for his son, and his capacity of love... that I wish was a lot shorter, because man we've been grieving for like 20 issues now?
Key points
*Aquaman and Batman team-up
*Wonder Woman and Batman team-up
*Batman and Ra's al Ghul (brief) team-up
*Batman tells off the Justice League after being told to stop playing God. It's glorious.
*Talia and Batman get it on in flashback but in a totally strange position but anyways I hear people are interested in Batbod so...

The hunt for Robin continues. Though Batman will never truly be alone - as evidenced by the many team-ups that occur throughout this graphic novel, some big names included.
Looking forward to more of the series.
Full review will be posted to my blog in July 2015.

Not as solid tonally as the last volume, but I think there was no real hope of that with this one. It continues the trend of each issue being a teammate with different people. Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Frankenstein, then an issue against Ra's and finally the start up for the Robin Rises arc. While I greatly enjoyed the team up with Arthur Curry, the rest of this volume wasn't all that fun for me.
I really liked the Batfam coming together and everyone being so ready to go to Apokolips to bring Damian back. That was lovely to see. I enjoyed Dick dropping into the cave for a moment and also pledging his help to go bring Damian back. These moments are why I read these books, to be honest. Really, this just made me want to jump to the actual trip to Apokolips which left me happy I'm reading these on DC Universe and I didn't buy them as single issues.
