Issue 17 of the Red Robin comics was interesting. I almost wish this was longer. There was so much going on and I feel like this could have been expanded to fill it out a little more. I wanted a lot more of Cass and Tim hanging out. They have such a good sibling relationship, at least from what I’ve seen. I’m not really sure how I feel about the whole Tim/Lynx potential relationship here. To me, if just feels weird and a little forced. Also, can we get more of Bruce being a good dad?? The last few pages of this show just how good he can be to his children and we need more of it! This one gets a 3.75 out of five stars.
