I’ve met a few people who like this book, every single one of them have read little to no Tim prior. I’m in the process of rectifying that
I still hold to the idea that Fitzmartin never had any intention of honoring the concept and legacy of Tim Drake but instead seems to have taken this as her cue to write whatever fantasy ideas she has of him. This isn't about "trying to live up to the images of other people." When given a character like this, it's about making them the best version of who you can while still honoring the roots semore
The final showdown! Tim Drake comes face-to-voice with the villain who’s been taunting Tim by using his metahuman powers to create ghostly animals. When this Moriarty’s identity is revealed, all hell breaks loose in the marina. Can Tim keep things afloat, while simultaneously dealing with his relationship with Bernard?
A critic gave this book a 10 drugs are good

Worst book DC has put out in the last decade. Tim gets his own knock off version of clay face here but that's about it. I read this book just to dump on it (because it truly deserves it) but I do hope it will get readable one day. Tim is my favorite Robin after all.

Tim Drake has never, ever, Ever, EVER wanted to be Batman!!!! IT’S BEEN THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF HIS CHARACTER SINCE HIS CREATION!!!!

Just when I thought Fitzmartin had finally left all those old detective stories alone, we're greeted with the most uninspired villain touting himself as worthy of comparison to the Joker. To be fair, this current version of Tim Drake is by no means giving Batman a run for his money at this rate either. Moriarty. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to take this seriously when nothing about this run has gmore

Are the critics reading the same book?? I have yet to meet anyone who likes this book except the critics above. The only thing worst than the art is the writing . I like Tim Drake but the glory days of Chuck Dixon, Tom Grumette, and Mike Wieringo are gone and now we got no talent havks

What does Tim, see in him?
It’s not because Bernard’s a guy.
I will take anyone else.

Normally I don’t like multiverse stories, I think they are overdone and O feel the multiverse needs to come to an end, but damn Chip you got me hooked!

Gotham City has never been darker or deadlier. And after Failsafe, there is no Batman to save it. Can the fractured ghost that roams the streets survive? Whatever happened to the man known as...Bruce Wayne?

Bernard has been kidnapped and only one person can save him: his boyfriend, Tim Drake! Plus, the Gotham Marina continues to be the target of both political unrest and a string of bizarre crimes. With every part of Tim’s life seemingly ready to explode, can the young sleuth crack the case of his abducted admirer before it’s too late?
Tim couldn't have been staying at Wayne Manor; last I checked, Bruce had moved out a while ago, leaving the place dormant. That does raise the question of where Tim has been staying before he moved to the Marina, but given Fitzmartin, probably something like he'd been sleeping in the various mini Bat-Caves around Gotham.
Was Tim always this bad at being a detective? I thought we were done with the weird ghost things that I guess aren’t very ghostly anymore. None of this is making sense. And why hasn’t tim even tried to figure out how these things are being made? I thought he was a genius detective. And why does the bad guy look like some rejected joker? Might as well give Tim the D-list prince of crime becausemore

Tim was never a bad Detective, he figured out who Batman was when he was 8 years old, the guy in this comic can't even be smart enough to close his damn curtains!! And yeah I'm kinda rooting for Maximillian Pegasus to kidnap Bernard and keep him forever so Tim can go back to being himself again.
Let me start by saying, having seen more comments about the matter, that Rossmo's art isn't the main issue here for me. While I do continue to agree that this style wasn't the best fit for a Tim Drake book, it's still a style that has its place in the industry. Part of the issue with the art, though, is that it gives us one sense of a story while the actual story itself provides another, and I feemore

Art=trash, characters=trash, dialogue=trash Don't spend your money or time on this title. I love Tim Drake but right now I'm hoping the villain wins and burns the marina into the ocean along with Tim, Bernard, and all the rest of the idiots living there.

Soooo this was better than the last issue but it's still really bad. I don't know where she gets some of this stuff she says about the other robins because it's not anything like them at all and Tim still doesn't act like Tim at all in here.

I dunno. Like it would make him more interesting that's for sure but also they've hyped him up and this whole thing about being the best love of his life and then he turns out to be someone trying to kill him? maybe if MF had written this whole thing better from the start it would play off ok but to do that just seems like a bad take for Tim's first same sex relationship to turn out like that. but I can see her doing it and not caring or thinking about what that implication would be. feels bad.
Eh, I’m a sucker for a hero/villain romance, and it could be done to create some inner turmoil for Tim, making him question everything all over again. Pretty much anything would be better than what we are getting right now
Atrocious is the word

I thought Bird was the word. I know I’d love to give this book the bird.
By this point all you need to know is this. If Meghan Fitzmartin is involved in any way, RUN!

Overall, this was still a badly written issue, but dropping the pursuit of various older detective stories and allowing some semblance of a plot to form was one of the better things about this particular one. That being said, still not a great time being had here.
Fitzmartin's grasp on characterization remains threadbare at best. She has a few lines that seem to imply she has at least more

First off, can I just point out that the solicit summary doesn't actually match this issue. That doesn't really affect the quality all that much, but it's worth noting.
Regardless, I'll be the first to concede that this issue has far more coherent progression between scenes than the last one. And there is clearly more of an effort being made this time when it comes to characterisation t more

Yeah I also felt the “prove myself better” sense during the Robins fight. While I do subscribe that Tim is the best Robin, I believe that because he has so much honor and respect for the role, and had to constantly prove his worth and he went above and beyond. Also Tim felt worse about hitting Damian, a kid he continues to not get along with, over Stephanie, a girl who said being with her was the time of his life. Someone make it make sense. Also Rossmo’s Tim looks like Sid from Toy Story.
Okay, who exactly is this made for, because I am a massive Tim Drake fanboy & I’m bi and I can tell you it’s certainly not made for me, and if it’s not made for me then who is it made for? It’s be one thing if this was a brand new character, but this is a character with over 30 years of history, with a clearly defined personality and character traits. Would love if this book incorporated tmore

@Batmanaholic It’s written for straight girls who have wet dreams about gay boys.
I have never understood who dc thinks they are going to sell Meghan fitzMartin's stories too. She hates dc's current fans or anyone guy over 25 that reads comcis and actually enjoys them. Like how many books do dc and marvel have to make for the twitter crowd thag never buys comics. And fail before issue 10. Do they have to make before they figure out this does not work for sales. I swear this has happened 20-30 times now in the past 5 years. And they always try it again lol.
I'd like to say I feel some level of relief that this series has now met its end, but in all honesty, I'm still left baffled by how such a story was ever allowed to proceed on the course that it did. I was hoping we would get some sort of explanation into why this was worth putting the Dark Crisis title on it, but the fact of that matter remains that this series has absolutely nothing to do with more

At this point this is not only badly written, but totally disrespectful. There wasn't much respect before this issue, but this one seals the deal on impertinence. There should be negative rating for this awful writer and terrible excuse for a human being. Oh, and the editor needs to pack his stuff and go as far away from comics as possible.

You guys should that to her on the comments of her twitter account for this issue since she is saying that it is one of the best books out there.
The delusion of Fitzmartin astounds me. This is easily the worst series I’ve ever read. Worse than All-Star Batman & Robin.
The artstyle in and of itself is quite good, though it's let down by the incredibly stiff poses the characters are drawn in, the backgrounds suddenly vanishing entirely at points, and some odd expressions in certain panels that make it look laughable.
As for the writing, it's quite poor with a lack of resolution for several plot points, some rather odd scripting choices that prevent an more

If I could give this issue a zero I would. Fitzmartin should never be allowed to write a comic book again. This had nothing to do with dark crisis. It was just an excuse to make wonder girl a victim of toxic men and then have said men grovel at her feet. The writer obviously never read the old Young Justice series because Cassie was one of the best characters who was always treated with the utmmore

Yeah it’s clear Fitzmartin never read Young Justice, because Cassie became the LEADER OF THE TEAM, but no apparently that was the toxic boys hating her.

I don't want to say the art is bad, it's just not for me and I don't think it really works for this type of book. The writing however is another story.
To catch a criminal mastermind, Tim will have to...steal a diamond? Oh no, what's gotten into you, Tim? It's Tim Drake like you've never seen him! Plus: a murder most foul at the library, the Gotham Marina is in danger, and Bernard isn't answering Tim's calls!
I held off on reading this given everything that was noted about it but being a Tim Drake fan decided to go ahead and see for myself what this was about and it's as disappointing as most people seem to think it is. I actually don't mind the art so much even though I don't really think this character version looks anything like Tim but I know different styles mean different character interpretationmore
Step aside, Damian-the world's favorite Robin has got this! That's right, after years away, Tim Drake is taking center stage in a brand-spanking-new Robin series of his very own!

Where do I even begin?
Challenge for Fitzmartin: stop taking the plots of other detective comics and making it seem like you did anything with them. This is just lazy writing. The fact that I knew what story she would use next based on the preview talk of a stolen diamond and framing someone, given her previous history with other old detective stories, made this as lame as the previous more

It'll be interesting to see the reactions. I'm still not entirely sold on the general feeling they seem to be going for with this as it seems ill-suited for a serious Tim Drake solo. That being said I could have done Rossmo's art if the story was spectacular, but Fitzmartin has already shown us her inability to tell a story regardless of who her artist is or the characters she gets to handle. If they want a good Tim solo, they need to ditch her first.
Oh absolutely they need to get Chuck Dixon, James Tynion, Chris Yost, Fabian Nicieza, or Devin Grayson to take over the writing
Unreadable. The awful Rossmo stick drawings continue.
