Chapter 32 of the Buzzard is live!
The infamous death of the second Robin, Jason Todd, at the hands of the Joker sent shockwaves through Gotham. His foster brother, Dick Grayson, raged and then mourned; his foster father, Bruce Wayne, mourned and then raged.
Meanwhile, lifelong Batman and Robin superfan Tim Drake was deeply shaken by the death of one of his heroes (Yeah, he knows their identities. Don’t worry about it. It’s not creepy).
A few years passed. Bruce Wayne discovered his long-lost son, Damien, and found a new Robin in Tim’s best friend, Stephanie Brown. Tim lost both of his parents, and took over leadership of their company.
And then Tim learned the news: Jason Todd was back.
But he’d come back wrong.
So Tim did what any reasonable person would do: He spent a year training with some of the most dangerous people alive before returning to Gotham as a new vigilante, the Buzzard. Buzzard’s one goal: to help the Red Hood reconnect with his family.
Yeah. So that then. That was a couple of hostage situations, an assassination attempt, several pissed-off heroes (try the entire Justice League), several more pissed-off villains (try the entire League of Assassins), a narrowly avoided death by strangulation, a fire of dubious origin, a prison break, two doses of a deadly designer drug, and dozens and dozens of dead bodies ago.
This is now. Tim might not be walking away from this one, but maybe the Buzzard still can. Whether anything will be left when he does is another story.
