Robin/Batgirl: Fresh Blood by Andersen Gabrych, Bill Willingham, Jesse Delperdang, Damion Scott, Alé Garza
4.0
This was my first real introduction into Tim Drake, the Robin I know the least about. It was okay.
I liked that it began as him taking over Nightwing's territory in Bludhaven after the events of War Games. Tim wants his independence to deal with some pretty heavy stuff because Steph died, his father was murdered and his step mother was in the hospital.
There was a theme of Tim not wanting to let his pin turn him into the Bruce. It's evident in Tim's thoughts, Alfred saying he fears Bruce has rubbed off on him and then juxtaposed in Cass later saying that, unlike him, all she's wanted is to someday become Batman.
The storyline is okay. Cass and Tim are trying to figure out if Blockbuster is alive. One, to clear Dick's conscious and two, to stop the uprising of violence in Bludhaven.
The fight scenes are some of the best I've seen. The art is pretty great at showing Cass' prowess and Tim's different fighting style. One thing I do like about Tim is that he's presented as the Robin that feels the least confident in his combat skills but way more confident in his computer skills.
Seeing him and Cass pretend to fight and then him shooting her hurt a lot, not gonna lie.
The end conversation was really interesting. I think Tim is the only Robin to disagree with the idea that Batman's methods shouldn't trump the law?
Anyway, this was okay. I got a small bit of Tim's personality and I adore Cass so it was great to see her.
4.3 stars.
