    Taking the League Down from the inside 0

    This is is vital to whoever has been collecting the Series, and a pretty good issue to boot. The writing also gets better with each issue and I am very intereated to know the full history of the Spider Guild. The art is pretty good, but this is not a good point to just hop onto the series. If you want to get into the series I'd say pick up the first 4 issues so you won't be lost in this one. Although the time jumps are still happening that is about one of the only complaints I have about this is...

    The rest of Batman's Legacy 0

    Dick Grayson may have "inherited" the mantle of Batman, but as readers of "Red Robin" know Tim Drake Wayne is heir to "the World's Greatest Detective." Thus far Drake has been bopping all around the world looking for any shard of evidence that his (2nd) daddy (Bruce Wayne) is still alive. As this plot point has developed, time has been spent with Tim's own insecurities which seemingly came to a head with him pulling a geographic from Gotham. Recently the insecurities have manifested themselves a...

    Is Bruce still alive? 0

    I really want to like this series, but I've been having some trouble really getting into it.  that doesn't take away from the fact that its a solid read. I will give it that the writing and artwork are getting better, so this series is getting better its just taking some time.    Its great to see a series where someone is trying to find them selfs, but still have a overall goal. and yes this is a concept that seems old, but the more stories i read like this the better they seem to get.  From her...

    i think the series of red robin has really been average - maybe its time for a new artist to step things up? this issue of red robin was not bad. There are scenes from the past and scenes from the present. The scenes from the past with the girl who gets bitten by the poisonous spiders is great ! that interested me a lot. But there wasnt really anything that i could say was brilliant. Its no awful and its not fantastic - just average....

    My love for Tim Drake leaves me a bit biased. 0

    (This may be spoiler-ish?)  This is probably the most poignant book in the series to date.  Red Robin finds himself in the League of Assassins lair, where he thinks he has been resurrected.  His reactions pretty funny when he realizes that he has not actually been resurrected and the Assassins are not trying to fight him.  After some introduction, the reader gets a recap of what happens to Pru and Tim, before they "die".  This is where my favorite panel is (and the most heart-wrenching):  "It's...
