Robin #168

Part one of the seven-part "Resurrection of Ra's al Ghul" crossover kicks off here, and Andy Kubert's cover immediately sets a tense, high-stakes tone: Robin is locked in a fierce struggle with a dark-clad adversary while a looming Batman watches ominously from the shadows behind them. Peter Milligan scripts and Freddie E. Williams II handles both pencils and inks on the interior, a creative pairing that brings real energy to Tim Drake's corner of the DC Universe in 2008. If you're following this crossover event, this is where the tension begins to boil.
