The Winner is... 1
So the question at the beginning of this issue is " Will Tam Survive?" because i don't think we have any doubt that Red Robin likely will come out of it somehow considering its his book and this is issue 8 of an ongoing series.

The inner life of a fight scene 0
This is a perfect example of how comic books can mix the best of TV and prose. There's more of Tim's inner monologue here than dialogue. Having Tim's brain in little red boxes is far more immersive than a character voicing their thoughts. The singular point of view (no other characters get their thoughts represented, and there is no omniscient narrator) makes Tim the complete focus, and it's gratifying to experience the climax to this arc through him.His thought elevates fight scenes beyond pure...
