Red Robin 6 and Batgirl 4 Previews

Full RR preview here,
http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/2009/11/10/writer-chris-yost-gives-you-the-top-10-reasons-to-check-out-red-robin-6-with-a-preview/

Reasons Chris Yost says you should read it,
"10. Superstar artist Marcus To joins the team with this issue!

9. Marcus To’s rendition of Red Robin leading a gang of ninjas into battle.

8. Marcus To’s rendition of ninjas dying horrible deaths at the hands of Recluse, a member of the Council of Spiders (the same people that are hunting the League of Assassins for sport).

7. Marcus To’s rendition of Vicki Vale, who’s got some questions for Bruce Wayne/Hush. Which is going to mean trouble for Tim Drake.

6. The flashbacks are almost over. But this issue’s flashback is particularly sexy. And drawn by Marcus To!

5. BLACKEST NIGHT CROSSOVER!! Well, kind of. Tim mentions his little adventure in BLACKEST NIGHT: BATMAN, but most importantly Marcus To draws him mentioning it.

4. Editor Mike Marts put a hundred dollar bill in one of the copies!

3. Marcus To’s rendition of Tam Fox, daughter of Wayne Enterprises’ CEO Lucius Fox, getting into even MORE trouble.

2. Marcus To’s rendition of Tim Drake being awesome in general as he takes charge of the League of Assassins.

1. The writing. PSYCH! It’s Marcus To. (But hopefully the writing’s okay)"

Sexy flashback? With Tim? Does not compute! Seriously, if he ends up actually have sex (since this is Tim we're talking about he probably won't) seems kind of sad it happen with someone he's only just met, rather than, say, Steph for example.

Though he burnt that bridge my gutpunching her, so that's probably for the best.

And with MTV we have an interview about Batgirl, which also includes a preview. :)

The preview looks good. :) Continuing with the vagurly Batman Beyondish set up I see.

My one real complain is that the yellow on purple text boxes are really hard to read.

And the loose belt looks like it might interfere with walking and stuff.

Well, I think it's pretty unlikely that Tim will be allowed to go back to being Robin when Bruce does return. That seems to be a delusion Tim's laboring under, but whether he's ready to acknowledge it or not he's more than outgrown the role in terms of what Bruce allows it to be for any of his partners.

But I agree Tim needs a new costume, and probably a new name. I'll cry if he has to stay in this one for any length of time post-Bruce's return. Ugh.

I think Damian will stay as Robin regardless of Bruce or Dick being batman. I would like to see Tim get a new hero persona, Nightwing is taken and to be honest that was Dick's post Robin identity it doesn't really fit Tim.

The whole 'Red Robin' idea is stupid but at the very least I would accept a drastic change to the costume if DC's going to have Tim parade around as RR when Bruce comes back
