There is this page in the first issue which introduces all the former robins.
That's the page that annoyed me. Why is Bruce Wayne/Batman, super secretive vigilante, surrounded by three teenagers who all have high level clearance to the Bat cave? The only real exposure I've had to robin in the Batman universe is from the terribad Adam West series, and I sort of assumed that was pretty far from cannon.
Will I be safe if I just stick to the old detective comics series? Are they the ones just about batman being batman and solving crime? Not unveiling some soap opera tier family drama with the orphans he's taken in?
I'll look into the other recommendations, although I'll swerve any more of Saga. I read the first couple of issues, and didn't like that either. Space fantasy rubbish, fauns and fairies with guns in outer space. Good grief.
I was enjoying 30 days of night, but the second volume has been so much weaker than the first. Much more of an action, vampire hunter piece, than the horror of the first.
