We're going back to the early 90s to another Robin miniseries where the Joker is wild. It's called Robin II: Joker's Wild, and Batman's not in this one, Robin's flying solo!

We get some interesting looks at how he interacts with Batman's supporting cast when he's not around. And we also meet some of Robin's own supporting cast. We didn't know he had friends.

Then we go onto Ultimates #6 where we distinguish the Ultimates from their 616 counterparts.

Next Time: Avengers Academy (2010) #1-9

We get some weird twins and some space aliens. Then we finally get into the Age of Apocalypse finale with X-Men Omega.

And then we gotta keep going with Ultimates #5, in which we get meet the Incredible Inappropriate Hulk.

Marvel and DC crossovers are back! This time they come to us in the form of two one-shots called Deadpool/Batman and Batman/Deadpool, with a few bonus short stories in each comic.

Are these two collabs better than the big events from years past? We'll find out, and then we'll jump into Ultimates #4, where we finally get a villain... almost.

Next Time: Magneto goes to United Nations in Uncanny X-Men #200 + we finally end the Age of Apocalypse in Age of Apocalypse: Omega!
