12 - Last Issue of Red Robin

You may or may not know that I am a great big Robin fan, Tim Drake specifically, and I have been since I came across issue 85 years ago. I just finished the "last" issue of Red Robin, a series after Robin that follows Tim Drake under his new persona. Overall I hadn't been to impressed with Red Robin until late in the series.

It was only in the second to last issue that they started to tease me with a bigger picture story, the whole thing with them introducing a thousand year old "villain" looking for his replacement in Tim, was awesome. It just makes me wonder if they will pursue this thread in the coming new universe. The last issue of the series was alright, but kind of a week story to end it on. It's not a real end though, right?

One issue I had with the series in the beginning besides that it spun out of the whole "Bruce was lost in time thing" was that it was Tim trying to prove Bruce was not dead. Some how he proved he was not dead by solely travelling the globe and beating up assassins while doing a surprisingly small amount of detective work. I guess they just left that part up to the readers to fill in between panels or something, but I may have just been reading too disjointedly. I'll probably go back and re-read it some time cause it is only 26 issues and I want to make sure I didn't miss anything. If I do ill probably post about it.
