Some of My Friends Read Comics 259 – Robin II: The Joker’s Wild + Ultimates #6

Vincent GoodwinLeave a comment

We’re going back to the early 90s to another Robin miniseries where the Joker is wild. It’s called Robin II: Joker’s Wild, and Batman’s not in this one, Robin’s flying solo!

We get some interesting looks at how he interacts with Batman’s supporting cast when he’s not around. And we also meet some of Robin’s own supporting cast. We didn’t know he had friends.

Then we go onto Ultimates #6 where we distinguish the Ultimates from their 616 counterparts.

For Valentine’s Day, we wanted to cover a comic book couple that we haven’t spent much time with: Dick Grayson & Barbara Gordon. Turns out Nightwing: Year One didn’t have quite as much Batgirl in it as we thought it would, but don’t worry…

Smooching.

Does.

Happen.

Join us for Nightwing 101-106 and Secret Wars 7.

Batman’s not the only hero to get a Year One.

This time around, the gang reads Robin: Year One to see how it compares to the Frank Miller classic.

We’ll discuss how easy it is to mix up all the Robins, the merits of attacking random little boys on the street, and whether or not Two-Face has a law degree.
