Damian Wayne Robin Appreciation 2021

[Blue22]

I'm thinking this probably takes place after issue #5. Otherwise, yeah, he wouldn't be in a group chat with the rest of the Batfam lol

Either way, it was nice hearing from him in some capacity.

Yeah you are right in that..

Or maybe after leave Lazarus Island.. To not be HACKED for batman.

BATFAMILY MESSENGER GROUP?? Damian is trying to avoid them.

Maybe that messenger group is something PRE-Robin

Maybe he put the group chat on silence.

[Iclifton]

So he made a cameo in latest nightwing issue.
Just saying that Dick won in some competition in the Batfamily messenger group.

Guessing the timeline is

Robin issue 4 -> Robin Issue 5 -> Son of Kal-El -> Nightwing Issue 83.

Since I doubt Damian will be in that group chat before the Robin Issue 5

Honestly do not think DC is putting much stock into continuity right now. I wouldn't worry too much about where things line up, willing to bet there will be several inconsistencies regardless.

I think that forming part of that chat Bruce or ORACLE could still find him..

Anyway. No matter. I will think that this happened BEFORE or AFTER this mortal kombat tournament

Gleb's art style is so perfect for this type of comic [Teen and actiony]

I wonder if they are fighting the others to stop the Tournament?

Could also be a round in the tournament. Instead of a bunch of 1 on 1 fight maybe they mix it up.

I know that is not Damian related but... Son of Kal-El had a 2ND PRINTING??

I think that Robin 1 was not as lucky as that and unlike him Damian existed for 15 YEARS.

I remember Williamson said that first issue had good sells, and it was in top of Comixology and Amazon.

Robin 1 was the 7 best selling book of the month when it was released, not just on DC, but overall - https://www.comichron.com/monthlycom...1/2021-04.html

While there's still no official comichorn table for June, it seems like superman son of Kal-el was about the 34 selling book of the July - https://icv2.com/articles/markets/vi...mics-july-2021
So it seems like the retailers just didn't order too many copies at first, and that's how the book got a second printing.

Ah... I see.. They did not had enough copies. Now I understand it

An issue going for 2nd print doesn't mean that it sold more. It means that retailers ran of the issues they ordered.

In the case of some titles that Retailers and Publishers are not confident will be guaranteed sellers [or titles that they fear won't be well received] retailers will order low numbers so that they aren't left with unsold issues.

The actual sales figures is the important metric.

Son of Kal El #1 sold 54,000 copies before 2nd printing and debuted at no 34 on the charts.

Robin #1 debuted at no 7 when it was released [April]This doesn't include online, shipped to consumers or sales outside of north America.

For comparison the 1 spot for the month of April was to BRZRKR which sold 148,000 before 2nd print.

So the publishers and retailers were aware that BRZKRK was guaranteed to sell very well so they were confident to order high quantities. Unlike with Son of Kal El
