Red Robin, Vol. 3: The Hit List by Marcus To, Fabian Nicieza, Ray McCarthy
4.0
Red Robin 13-17.
Nicieza both follows in Yost's footsteps and returns to the Gotham he built in "Search for a Hero" to deliver another wonderful read. I think this is the kind of book where the parts are greater than the whole. The overarching story deals with Tim setting up a "hit list" of villains to apprehend, where each apprehension would make it easier to catch the following villain. This plan is sort of dismantled by the end, but the individual episodes along the way are so fun that I didn't really care. There's still great narration and enjoyable character interactions from all your favorite characters. Nicieza is having a blast playing in the Robin sandbox, and that enthusiasm is infectious. And of course, Marcus To is still doing my favorite kind of comic art, and he works as well with Nicieza as he did with Yost. So much fun.
