Takes place right before Dick goes back to Spyral. This should be a fun, character-driven issue.

Art looks pretty decent. Is this the first time we've had neither Janin nor Mooney on a Grayson issue? Excited for this, should be a fun read.

Super excited for this. I love Seeley, and the art looks really good.

[Tony Stark]

I've been excited for this since it was first announced. Even back then you could see how differently Bruce and Dick looked at things. Dick is such an amazing character and that's one of the things that makes him amazing.

I'm super excited, I always loved Dick's relationship with Superman.
"Red", "Blue", "Superman is cool"...yeah I'm gonna love this lol and I love the "creepy eye-bug" part
I guess it's gonna be a fun issue, nothing too serious but I'm fine with it~

LoL, Batman doesn't like Dick calling Superman cool and hypnos have a warranty.

I haven't read the preview but I've been really looking forward to this Annual. Can't wait for Wednesday.

Nice to see some new 52 Robin flashbacks. Here's hoping there mo tree on blockbuster like references to bludhaven

[K. Jones]

I like what I see. I dig "several years ago". It's neat to see a little big of 'paranoid early post-Miller Bruce' retroactively applied to what is pretty clearly peak Bruce & Dick timeline - Blockbuster of course debuted during the New Look/Batman '66 late sixties period contemporary with Babs, Ivy, Cluemaster and Lord Death Man.

Still feels weird to see the Extreme Wildstorm New 52 costumes set in the late 60s period especially since Blockbuster looks like he did back then. But great reason to use Buster and Superman (perfect foe for depowered Clark, too). Nice Hudson reference. Hypno deets forthcoming. Lovely art. Excited.

Anyone else think the N52 Robin costume looks embarassingly like the Joel Schumaker one?

You had me at "embarrassing."

Also, seems the art team couldnt make up their mind on whether the yellow shoulder straps go over his cape or under his cape.

Also, I'm going to do my best to mentally substitute the old earth 2 robin suit instead from now on.

Can't wait till tomorrow. Loved the fist bump and that they are calling each other "Red" and "Blue". It's great that we get their first real interaction in with this writer team and I really like the art. I was getting a bit pessimistic about Mooney's art because while he has improved since Futures End he has still very visible weaknesses.
King said the Annual would have a deeper meaning for Robin Wars. I'm excited for that.

This looks fun. I haven't read anything with Dick interacting with Clark, so this will be a first for me.
