review 1: Much better than I'd hoped for! The art throughout was quite good, and and fairly stylized.Having the Robin book "narrated" by Alfred worked very well, as it highlighted the contrast between the way Batman and Robin approached crime fighting, and also allowed us to access a conscious. I've seen too few books of this nature address the morality of having a teen fight crime as he does.Despite that, many of the scenes with Robin (especially early on) were humorous, and kept the book a little lighter than it could have been.As I said, I enjoyed the artwork, especially the way Two-Face was "shot" in various scenes.The Batgirl portion of the book was also entertaining, but with the potential moral questions lessened. There was quite a bit less buffoonery, but I enjoyed the humou... morer in Barbara's inner monologue. The Batgirl/Robin interactions were very entertaining. I'm a fan.While the two halves could easily work on their own, I think the melding of them into one collection really added something.
review 2: This actually made me fall in love with Robin. Character wise, we've had a tricky past. But wow. I have never been captivated that long by Robin and his story. Then of course, Batgirl is wonderful as always. But I loved Robin: Year One more. It personally stayed with me. I liked the fact that Alfred narrator the events of his life and the world surrounding him. It was a great read. I'm glad that I picked it up. The art and the writing was all wonderful. I would suggest this to anybody who loves comics or is not too familiar with the genre. It's a great place to start whether you love or do not lover Robin or Batgirl. less
