This issue was the best one so far.The action and adventure never stops.The writer puts us in close with a slew of characters have inner clashes as well as outer threats to ware they have to stick together or die a horrible death.Our main character is on deaths door and the finale will be a must read.I wish this was an ongoing comic,but at least we get four brilliant issues.

Giving this a ten because there are so many morons on here giving it a one. I was quite hesitant going into this as I didn’t love the DC Pride: Tim Drake Special which collected Fitzmartin’s short stories from Batman Urban Legends.

I’m glad you liked it, but this isn’t how I want to be represented. This is some of the worst characterization Tim has ever had, she is writing Tim as gay instead of bi, Bernard is about as interesting as cardboard, and the people just look ugly to me. There is also the “fairy gay father”, I would honestly rather be called a faggot instead of that. I want Tim to have his own book, but this writer is doing more harm than good.
