"Red Robin: The Grail" (comic book), #66
Jul. 10th, 2010 01:40 pm( Synopsis... )
Art by Ramon Bachs: Great action sequences and vibrant pictures. The only weak point, for me that is, are the faces of the characters: their features are very rough, not sharp enough, not... well, pretty enough, to be honest.
Story by Christopher Yost: Fascinating story, well written and perfectly interconnected, not told in a linear way, but every scene has its own place. It's a character piece and at the same time, there's a large picture that you don't see until you have all the pieces.
I'm loving this story of Tim Wayne, formerly known as Tim Drake. He has lost everything: his father is dead, his best friend Conner aka Superboy is dead, Bruce aka Batman - Tim's adoptive father - is dead and he has lost his status as Robin to Damien Wayne, an obnoxious brat that Dick, the new Batman, chose as his Robin. Tim's the only one who believes that Bruce is still alive, somewhere, but his friends think he needs psychiatric help, that he lost it after Bruce died. And consider the irony - the only one who believes him is Ra's al Ghul and his League of Assassins that Tim ends up leading against the Council of Spiders. Yes, for Tim, everything is about shades of grey these days...

103 Book of Hours: "God can't use bacteria?" Ha! I loved all the scenes where they talked about God and about their different opinions of miracles. And that in the end, Peter took a leap of faith with Neal. Ruiz is still a bully.
104 Flip of the Coin: The scene where Peter met Mozzie was so funny! But the funniest part? When El and Peter made Neal the referee of their little dispute - Neal's reaction? Deer in the headlights! Hehe.
