Okay, I probably wouldnāt have picked this one up if I hadnāt started creating these Future State posts (and by the way if anyone else wants to grab and start an individual title when they come out, please do so. Only suggest you put on image of the cover with the OP, it makes it easier to find). But, Iād enjoyed most of the rest so what the heck? Man, this is a good story. First, we get an adult Tim Drake as Robin. I grew up with Dick Grayson, but Tim Drake may be my favorite Robin for earning the yellow and green on his own. Also set in Magistrateās Gotham City, I like that not only is Tim still fighting, but the story just gives us one corner of the action instead of trying to cover a larger story. I also did a tiny inside-my-head cheer when we get a grown Spoiler saving Tim. The setup with the Lazerus ooze is nice and I should have seen the ending coming. Iām not familiar with Darcy, but seems cool. Couple of small things about her in the book that I liked. First, was the editorās note. Weird to praise on editorās note, but telling us that the ASL discussion between Tim and Darcy was not being shown in ASL grammar was nice. Just a small piece of info that ASL structures itself differently than English. The other was when the comms damper cut off her hearing device. Good way to work her deafness into the story organically, and increase the peril our heroes faced. Overall, very nicely done.

I enjoyed this one. Iāll pick up any and every Tim Special but this one was actually good. Steph showing up was really nice too. I read āWe are Robinā but I donāt remember Darcy. I do like the ASL conversations.
But a ground-level Tim story is just the perfect setting for him. Iām excited for the next issue.

This was absolutely phenomenal : the ASL, the costumes, Tim being Tim the genius dumbass, all around great. Im also digging stephs new look
I just donāt like the whole 'āJason betrayed the family againā, but it didnāt have anything to do with the issue and more about his story in another book, but i cant say thats something im excited about. You know its great when I start nitpicking single lines line that haha
This is one of my 2 favourite stories so far in Future State, right there with Book of Guy.
10/10 i love my boy Tim drake

Anyways the best part was Darcy turning off the hearing aid with a rude costumer
