Previous Post I'm a fan who is not yet a subscriber. I got issues 1-5. Can anyone tell me what has happened since?

Been playing catchup after a month off books. Just enjoyed 8 and 9 in a row. And this title deserves a nod, ATM, and may help answer your question at the same time. Heres some links to help you decide if you might too...

It's a definitive enough (temporary) end to his conflict with the Spider Council of meta-ssassins©™. Not sure why it didnt rate a preview pdf but here are some peaks on the good all-issue battle:

This was a good down time of sorts and examined return to Gotham for Tim. It had decent Batverse character appearances in lieu of a decent supporting cast. It had a ex-TT character reunion and super reference to their last Adventure together. And it had a must see next issue character surprise at the better to happen sooner than later ending.
