Good afternoon Nerdy Birdies!
How has your weekend been? Did you get everything done that you wanted, or did you just relax? I’ve spent most of this weekend cleaning and tidying up! I even sorted out my comic book collection!
Speaking of comics, it’s time for this week’s haul. I almost didn’t have one this week, as none of my current series had any new releases this week; but I picked up a couple of cool things yesterday that I wanted to share!
We’ll start with the individual issue that I picked up!
Dark Nights: Death Metal – Robin King. I think this is the regular cover for this issue.
I found this at a local discount bookstore and I had to pick it up to add to my collection. I find the Robin’s to be the most fascination past of the Metal universe, plus I just really love this cover.
And keeping with the theme of Robin, I’ll move to the collected work I picked up:
Robin: 80th Anniversary.
This is a 100-page special that was released for the 80th Anniversary of the appearance of Robin. It contains stories for Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Damian Wayne and Stephanie Brown.
I’ve been looking for this for a while, as this contains one of my favourite little story lines for Jason Todd, and a birthday present that he puts together for Bruce.
The only issue I have with this is that we only get one storyline for Jason, as Red Hood, where Dick and Tim both get storylines as Robin and as Nightwing/Red Robin respectively. I would have loved to see Jason get a Robin storyline as well, and maybe lose the Nightwing storyline with the Titans, but that’s just my thoughts.
Which does lead me to a question – who is your favourite Robin, if you have one? I think mine should be obvious at this point.
And that is it for this week’s haul! A little one, but I know that will change next week!
Until next time, stay nerdy my friends!
