    Red Robin and the Teen Titans reunite

    Synopsis: Catman is brought in to take on Red Robin, and when things get a bit out of hand, Tim makes the call to an old group.

    What's Good?

    I knew this was going to be a crossover with the Teen Titans, but I didn't realize how fast they would appear. It's a well received welcome, even if Damian is still in the group. With Fabian Nicieza's writing, it feels more of a Teen Titan issue in the second half of the issue.

    I give major props to the art team with this issue. Marcus To never cease to amaze me with drawing outside characters. I also loved the beat up costume look to Tim's costume (courteously to Catman). Nice coloring by Guy Major.  Also, nice cover art cameos from other series.

    What's Bad?

    The pacing went fast in the beginning, leaving very little interaction with Tam and Lonnie. I was disappointed that Catman didn't received that much spotlight and was mostly a distraction. I mean, he suddenly jumps right in this issue. I'm also a bit disappointed that this is another Calculator story mostly because he was in Batgirl a while back, and currently in Birds of Prey: The Death of Oracle.

    Overall: It's a bit different from other issues, because of the obvious crossover, but it's a decent Red Robin issue. I just have to see if the second part hold its own.

        Cover I do not love the character I just wish they had the Teen Titans on the cover instead of Catman. Story Red Robin needs some help because the Calculator is targeting Tam. He does not want to get help from Bruce and Dick but from people he knows he would be working with and not working for. The only people he can think of are the teen titans. So they all follow the calculator but they all end up being robots and are about explode with all people around them that they are going to have to s...

      The fallout for Red Robin's actions in Russia is felt as Catman comes to town and The Calculator makes his play to reclaim the Unternet.  The Good To's artwork is strong as always and perfectly suited to Nicieza's narrative.   The issue starts off with Catman and Red Robin in the middle of a fight. Judging from his appearance Tim's been on the receiving end of the punishment. Despite this he manages to corner Catman. I like the way Catman handles himself in this issue. I especially like the way ...
