BONUS REVIEW by SHANNA BERRY


Tim’s back in Gotham and feeling good, that won’t last long. With the reveal from the last issue’s ending, we know something big is on the horizon – you can’t screw over Ra’s and not have ramifications, though we don’t see them yet in this issue. There is a great Tim Conner moment that we’ve needed since the return of Superboy. The last few pages seemed to be building to something, and for a moment you think maybe Ra’s has already began Tim’s punishment, but then it fizzled for me at the so-called reveal. Forgot Tim’s been away so, yes, he needs to be caught up on a few changes, but as an avid DC reader the end was just anti-climactic because we’ve known this surprise for months. Also, this will be “continued in Batgirl #8”, so hopefully that means when I open up Red Robin #10 we will be back on track to Ra’s revenge.

I give it 6 out of 10 Grahams
