This is the collected version of the introduction arc of Timothy Drake, the third (and current) Robin, following shortly after the death of Jason Todd, Robin-2, in "A Death in the Family". This was much better than I expected it to be. I read "A Death in the Family" and found it, at best, to be blah; at worst, to be outright bad. Plus, '90s superhero comics. But Aparo's Batman art is, as always, excellent, and the story's actually quite well-plotted and well-written. Bruce, Dick, and Tim all shine through in some solid character work, and the minor characters are well done; the crime-fighting bits of the story are well matched with the emotional arc without ever overshadowing it. no reviews | add a review

A few of them, like Batman: A Lonely Place of Dying, are very much stuck when they were written and don't compel me as much to keep going. I never stuck to this art style, everything seems like campy 60s cheese, everybody has the same hair color; when Dick Grayson, Tim Drake and Bruce Wayne are all in the same room, I had to double check who was talking. I did like the idea of Batman needing a Robin and Tim Drake is a cool character, but all the Teen Titans stuff was over my head. ( )
