A lot happens in this, but it’s only about half way through when the drama returns to Gotham that it has any real focus. The art is okay but never outstanding. It’s all... fine

There is a LOT that goes on in this book. It seems very dense. All the plotting and everything. Phew.
But it's still a FANTASTIC book. I love how the whole Batfamily plus Tim's friends come into play. It's a really nice way of keeping connected to the bigger universe. I love it. The writing is sharp, if a touch dramatic, but never veering off too badly. And Marcus To's artwork... I could gush about forever. He is one of my favourite artists.
I adore Tim Drake, so really, I'm probably quite biased about the whole thing. But it was really good.

Red Robin #6-12 + Batgirl #8.
Pretty much the perfect superhero comic. If the last volume set up Tim's "new low," this volume was all about rebuilding. Tam Fox was a great new counterpoint to Tim. To's art is the perfect mix of realistic figures with manga-inspired framing and faces. Tim's dealings with Ra's Al Ghul are perfectly structured, barreling forward with constant momentum. And once we move into the "Collision" story in Gotham, everything comes to a head wonderfully, reaffirming everything I love about the character and every major supporting character in his life. I totally remember now why I loved this series so much when it first came out.
