    Back at the cave Tam hides while thinking how she will most certainly die. She tries to run but get cornered by two assassins lucky for her Tim arrives and fights off her attackers but in the frackass he gets injured and the two run back to the control center. Tim has a plan. Once they get there the run into Ras as Tim tries to warn him the wanderer touches his face and he falls to the floor dead. The entire spider council has arrived and Tam and Tim both think they are dead.

    The Good:

    First off the art was great! Second the action and story sequences were well placed adding

    No Caption Provided

    enough tension to the situation to make you want to see what happens next. The flashback this time were better placed as well it never detracted from the core experience which is always a plus. Humor, danger and great characterization make this issue solid from start to finish. Also of Note is Pru’s shifting loyalties. Tim is a good man and she realizes that combine that with him saving her life multiple times and she is developing what could be a dangerous crush for your Tim.

    The Bad:

    I enjoyed the issue from start to finish BUT some readers may be annoyed with the continued employment of the flashback…..it’s getting kind of old here.

    The Ugly:

    4/5 stars

Here we have Tim Drake traveling around the world in search for the missing Bruce Wayne.  ‘Cept, he’s had to hit it up with the League of Assassins to go toe to toe with the Council of Spiders… sure, that sounds a bit confusing, but it makes sense when you read it. I really love the new artist on the series Ma...
