Robin War was the first comic event I ever read and was a great experience for a first timer!

Bookended by "Robin War" issues, much of the story takes place through several other books ranging from simple tie-ins to plot forwarding issues. You'll experience books you may not ever pick up otherwise, which is a bonus.

Gotham is a dreary place without Batman. The Robins, a self selected group of kids who have charged themselves with trying to keep order, are under siege for illegal vigilante activity. This is the story of them trying to save their city while also keeping their heads.

I recommend picking this up in trade rather than following the single issues. If you go with singles, feel free to skip the tie-ins (save for Gotham Academy because the book is great and the tie-in is adorable).
