    I was wondering if someone could help me ... What is the continuity between B&RE, Titans Hunt, Grayson and the Starfire crossover (which technically started with the November issue of Starfire with Dick arriving at the airport)? I've been reading them out of sequence (i.e., not as they've come out), and I don't know the ultimate sequence of all the plot lines. For instance, I read Titans Hunt 1 and 2 last night, and B&RE 1-8 last week. Robin Wars is a bit different since the sequence is illustrated in the comic book in terms of how it intersects with Grayson.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thats something we will probably only know afterwards, if ever.

    They don't really make a good job of coordinating parallel events at the moment, and even Robin War doesn't really fit into the chronology of Grayson, Grayson 14 ended some how in a cliff hanger and Robin War started on a complete different point, and Grayson 16 will probably start were Grayson 14 endet.

    Like Aahz said there is not much to know right now and there will probably never be a real timeline for those events.

    Currently Grayson seems to play before Eternal because Ashemore has not yet defected to Mother.

    Thanks for the replies ... At least I can enjoy them for now as standalone series.

    The thing is that Dick seems now to start to take down Spyral in "Grayson" but in Eternal and Robin Wars he still seems to be an regular Spyral Agent (I'm not sure about titans hunt) working for Helena, so depending on what is going to happen in "Grayson" it is possible that it will be never possible to crate a timeline of this events without contradictions.
    Like Death of the Family and Batman Inc., and Batman Eternal+Endgame and Robin Rises don't fit 100% together.

    @aahz: This is a major problem I'm having with his story line in general (I can only imagine how frustrating it must be for readers who follow more than one major character). This is just lazy story telling in my opinion. As a writer, a cohesive story is paramount to everything I write about. With his character, we get different versions depending on who the writer is (not to mention the way he looks based on the artist). Sigh!
