Robin: Teenage Wasteland by Adam Beechen, Frazier Irving, Freddie E. Williams II
5.0
4.5
The only issue I really have with this is the continued butchering of Cass, hence the .5 star, but I've been spoiled for future comics with her, so I'm choosing to overlook it more than I normally would.
That being said, I can't even begin to express how much I enjoyed this. Adam Beechen's characterisation of Alfred, Bruce, and Tim, and the depiction of the bond between them, is the best I've read of any writer of Tim's thus far. The stories here had a lighter tone than a lot of Tim's recent comics, which was a really nice respite, and Beechen actually letting Bruce be something other than stoic and mysterious made everything so much more enjoyable. Bruce in this is allowed to care for Tim and take genuine interest in Tim's life and wellbeing, and it's nice to see that for once.
