We're finally going to find out what Dodge has been up to all these months. He disappeared out of the hospital, and we haven't seen him since. Well he's putting a little gang together. They're all kind of b-list villains. But . . . if you put enough muscle together, you're still going to be a force to be reckoned with. Add to that, he's holding a hospital hostage, and you have a situation that you just know is going to get progressively worse. I can't even tell you who all these guys are. They're just a bunch of thugs, and metas that are hanging around Gotham and getting themselves in trouble. So why not get yourself in a gang and screw up with a little teamwork? I guess it's a plan. The only one who might be trouble is a girl called Skill. She's an assassin, and she's in Gotham to sell her services to the highest bidder. So she's interested in what Dodge has planned, " . . . . Robin will make my resume." And that's pretty much the book. Dodge is screaming out one of the hospital windows to bring him Robin. And on the final page, Robin obliges by appearing on the roof on the opposite side of the street. Adam Beechen writes this and Feddie E Williams does the art. The stories pretty decent. Not overly complicated. Same goes for the art. Freddie art is ok. He's been on the book now for a while, so he's given the book a certain feel. But what really sells it . . . . is the title character. Robin, or more specifically Tim Drake, is a fantastic character. They've really done a fantastic job, on all the Batman titles, of building up his character. And he's phenomenal on the Teen Titans. I hate to say it, but he may be even better there than Dick was. Anyways, he's a great character, and I hope he's going to be around for a long time to come.
