In the third Red Robin collection,Tim Drake is setting up shop as an independent crime fighter in Gotham. He has a lot to figure out: where to live, who his allies will be, and who to fight. For the latter, he makes the titular hit list, a set of plans designed to set up a new villain's capture for each one Red Robin brings down.
I'm still really enjoying this character, and was sad to learn that (a) there's only one more collection after this, and (b) it came out only a few months ago, so it's not eligible for ILL. :(
This book sets up Red Robin as a proper superhero, not just a temporary persona for Tim to use while searching for Bruce Wayne. He even starts to accumulate some bad guys of his own, including Anarky (a new one), and the mysterious Lynx (who, as Tim points out, has the potential to become his very own Catwoman). I also had a lot of fun with the interactions between the Wayne family members--Bruce, Tim, Dick, and Damian.
