Robin Annual: 2021

This good-looking issue uses a detailed and modern styling with bold color work. The illustrations heavily features expression and form allowing the reader to visually connect with the character's emotions and activity. I found myself completely immersed in the world of the tale. Read Full Review

'Robin 2021 Annual' #1 peels back the curtain to give a better look at some of the Lazarus Island fighting tournament contestants, as well as fits a fan-favorite legacy character back into the world at large. This series remains one of the true highlights of the Infinite Frontier era, constantly presenting a tried and true mix of fun, emotional weight, and character depth alongside artwork that elevates all of those aspects to even greater heights.

While getting background on characters months after the fact in an Annual feels weird, it was definitely appreciated here because I'm a fan of so many of the supporting cast of Robin that I'm all about seeing more of them here, especially Flatline. Some of the others, who seem to be here for filler..... not so much, but this is a great-looking book that gives us some much-needed background on some great characters. Read Full Review

Overall Robin 2021 Annual #1 is not a must-read to understand the story in Robin, but it is an entertaining one-shot that adds an interesting backstory and context for the main players in the tournament. If you dig origin stories, don't pass on Robin 2021 Annual #1. Read Full Review

Robin 2021 Annual #1 brings the bad guys forward, and it does so with reliable storytelling and pleasing visuals. It's a must for those following the series and a good pick-up title for those looking to glean a bit more from these characters. Read Full Review

"Robin Annual" #1 is a great retrospective on the intriguing supporting cast established for the new series! Read Full Review

Robin 2021 Annual primarily serves to be intriguing as it provides readers with details that couldn't quite make the cut in Robin's limited page count. Read Full Review

Overall, this issue was a pretty decent tie-in to the current story which, while not necessary to understand the arc, still serves as a nice though small companion to the world in which Damian Wayne operates. Read Full Review

An excellent issue again, still the best book by DC currently. seriously looking forward to the shadow war and later in 2022 and lastly really hoping for a Batman and Robin come back like Morrison and Tomasi's runs.

Even in an annual Williamson continues to kill it in arguably DC’s best ongoing series right now. The issue does a great job of giving quick overviews of characters most readers aren’t as familiar with while also teasing the “Shadow War” event for 2022

I actually like Flatline's origin. This annual worked better than I thought it would, overall.

This was fun, I felt like Williamson didn't take this story seriously and that helped, especially when the stories involve Damian, who takes himself waaaay too seriously.
