timm's Red Robin #8 - Council of Spiders, Part 4 review

The Winner is...

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. Robin spends a second or two to mull over the possibilities before finally taking on the whole spider gang all by himself.

There isn't much more to this issue than fighting and a swift reminder that Tim is a former Bat-Kid. This issue gives a huge nod to Tim being the ideal result of being a kid trained by the Batman experience. Also it gives you a clear idea of the kind of focus that Batman has always had in situations like this. In place of the contemplative silence that you get from Batman before he kicks @ss and takes names, you get dialogue from Tim's inner voice. I recommend this issue. I feel like they have been building up to this with all of Tim's angst and compromise. We can only hope that he leaves that all behind for good.
 
we'll see.

as a longtime Tim Drake fan, i've grown rather tired of seeing him being portrayed as the weaker Bat-kid. They always pointed out that hes not as "by the seat of his pants" as Dick, not "a street tough brawler" like Jason, and not as "raised by assassins" as Batgirl.    But this issue finally does what i've been waiting for since Batman died: shows that Tim Drake is is as close to the Dog Gamn Batman as your gonna get.  The conclusion to "Council of Spiders"has Tim in the middle of Ra's al Ghul'...
