james_desantis 's review for:
Red Robin, Vol. 1: The Grail
by Christopher Yost
I've been talking to people, letting them know if my comic ever got going and I was approached by DC to take on a character it would be Tim. Not because I love him, but because I believe he hasn't been all that interesting of a character in anything I read. (If you want to hear more about my pitch let me know! I'll post it/PM you!)
However, this is the first Tim-only story I read, and I actually dug it!
So Tim is lost. His parents are dead, Dick took on Damien as the next Robin, and he is the only person to believe Bruce is still alive. So he goes on a search to find him. On the way he's approached by Assassin's hired by none other than Ra. Whom also believes Bruce to be alive and tells Red Robin to join him so they can find him together.
It's really interesting to see Tim's inner turmoil. I feel for the guy. He's a young adult/teenager trying to find his place in the world. He won't give up on Bruce because Bruce wouldn't give up on him, and that's something special. I also enjoy the main storyline and a few twist here and there keep it fresh.
If you want a pretty darn good Red Robin story this is the one to grab. Reading volume 2 very soon.
