Red Robin #6 Review
Red Robin #6 review, continuing my “I read it for you” reviews: by writer Chris Yost and artist Marcus To. Red Robin #6 is Council of Spiders Part 2 of 4. Basically Red Robin (Tim Drake Wayne) is still trying to find evidence that Bruce Wayne exists, and wound up making a deal with Rhas Al Ghul’s League of Assassins, but finds himself in a war between different assassin groups and an inside job (who’s killing the members of the League of Assassins?). This felt a lot like the movie Wanted with so many professional assassin ninjas and hits.
Subplot: Vicky Vale was interviewing Lucius Fox to try and get Bruce Wayne, a lo and behold “Bruce Wayne” walks in. But…he’s “dead”. Obviously this one of Batman’s contingency plans: it’s probably someone wearing makeup to pose as Bruce Wayne. So..does Bruce Wayne return in Red Robin #6? We’ll find out in Red Robin #7, I guess.
Anyway, this was a solid issue; kinda reminded me of some 1990’s Green Arrow comics with assassins and heavy hand-t0-hand combat. Two thumbs up for artist Marcus To, especially the way he captures female beauty. Marcus To has a nice clean style, but is very modern. Very talented.
How about that- a comic book that takes place in a fantasy world with no references to Facebook or Wikipedia; DC Comics has once again succeeded in temporary suspending my disbelief. Thank you.
