This was a very up-and-down collection. I should note that the information above is incorrect and that this is not issues 14-20 of the Titans. Rather, it's issues 0, 15, 16, and 17 of the Teen Titans, issue 16 of Red Hood and the Outlaws, and issue 17 of Batman. I should also note that both Superboy and Skitter were missing from the collection, with their absences unmentioned and unexplained.
The first issue in the collection, issue #0, is essentially a retelling of Tim Drake's origin story as Red Robin. The story was interesting, particularly in how he was on a mission to become the next Robin, working to discover just who Batman really was, attempting to hack his systems, and ultimately forcing Batman to take him on with a rash act that simultaneously endangered him and his parents. It's an interesting premise and one that was new to me. It does require some suspension of disbelief that someone could be both that smart and that stupid at the same time, though.
The next issue, issue 15, "Teen Scream," is the real start of the Death of the Family series with the Teen Titans, opening with Batgirl swinging in as she's been summoned by the Titans when they discover that Red Robin has gone missing. Batgirl is able to give them some leads but then moves on, since she's got her own Joker problem to deal with. Joker, of course, has an ace or two up his sleeve when dealing with the Titans, which has the issue ending in a cliffhanger crossover, as Arsenal and Starfire show up from Red Hood and the Outlaws just as matters are getting out of hand.
Next we have Red Hood and the Outlaws issue #16, "Family Matters," since that continues the action from the Teen Titans crossover.
