Red Robin 25 Preview Up

Not going to post what happens so we can get more of the issue up when it actually comes out.
Will discuss it behind the cut though, so Spoilahs!

Yeah, so Tim is chained up, and it's weirdly going much like the Casstoon I did last month, right up to Tim being saved by Cass going all Britomart on the Hooded One's ass,

Probably should fix that grammatical mistake near the beginning...
So yeah, they acknowledged that it was a horrible thing, and still had Cass coming to rescue him at the last moment, which is cool. Could have done without Tim semi-joking about it, but he's Tim, so that's arguably in character.
Nice that, between here, Batman Inc. and Gates of Gotham, they at least seem to be giving Cass a good send off before being assigned to the closet with the Merchant of Menace, Ratcatcher, Onyx and that Vietnam veteran homeless guy that used to hang out in all the Batman books before No Man's Land.
For legality, the issue's cover,
