Red Robin, Vol. 1: The Grail by Christopher Yost
5.0
We're 3 for 3 on Tim Drake stories where I am constantly begging DC to give him a BREAK
There are great flashbacks to some time after Battle for the Cowl where Tim is just sort of reeling - his parents are dead, Bruce is dead, his friends are sort of letting him go, and Damian is taking over as Robin. Damian, in every panel that he's in in this volume, is the biggest little shit I've ever seen. Even Dick Grayson offers him a THERAPIST (which never happens lmao) and tim is so convinced he is alone they end up fighting for him to just leave Gotham.
I like the stories where a character is isolated beyond belief. He really has nothing (or at least believes he has nothing), so he's crossing some lines of violence to get clues as to where Bruce is (not that we really see this detective work of his, but I'm okay with that). I like when he gets sidetracked by helping the kidnapped girl in Spain, deep down he is still Tim Drake who wants to save everyone. I love the manipulation Ra's uses to help him out of some morbid curiosity - and to learn who is killing his own assassins.
There's only 4 volumes of this run, I'm happy with it so far. Interested how far they'll take Tim with the League of Assassins. And hoping he'll get a nap soon
