I don't really get DC's love of that identity over the last few years, and I disliked how Tim was ousted from the Robin role and was being handled. That said I did pick up Red Robin #4 and I enjoyed how his "search for Bruce" has actually turned out to be significant. I still dislike the Tim vs Dick aspect of the story, but its nice to see that the series is actually going to be a big part of the ongoing RIP mystery.

It attacks the heart of every character (litterally and figuratively) showing them all what they have lost. Incidentally, I was pleasantly surprised by Red Robin #4, a series I didn't expect to do anymore than develop Tim's character a bit, or try to show him as a renegade. But the end of this issue ties into Final Crisis nicely, where we finally see his faith validated. The last we saw of Bruce was him scawling the Bat symbol onto a cave wall. We see this wall again. =] I also enjoyed this issue, it struck right to the point of the Blackest Night.
