The stories were mostly, okay, pretty medicore but damn that Stephanie story was really bad.
Like unnessary sexualised, fat shaming, and general sexist. None of the art was my thing.
Jasons story was a bit more then okay, it was kind of cute.

Robin is my favorite character. This has been my favorite of the 80th anniversary specials, with lots of heart, warmth, cheek.

Truthfully, this is more a sentimental five stars than a deserved one. As with any anthology, it's a mixed bag. I particularly liked the Jason Todd and Stephanie Brown stories. Those stand out in part because you don't get a ton of those characters as Robin anymore, but that aside both stories are well structured and do a lot with the character in a little space. Overall, this is a must for Robin fans because it gives you a little window in to each era of the characters long history.

For more (much, much more) on Robin, tune in to a special spotlight over on the All the Books Show: https://soundcloud.com/allthebooks/episode-241-holy-robin-spotlight-batman
