The main story covers the death of Oracle and why it had to happen (this isn't a spoiler as it's in the title).

Batman and Robin, Volume 6: The Hunt for Robin
| Author | Peter J. Tomasi |
| ISBN | 1401253342 |
Kind of a mediocre story, but since I want Damien back...shrugs
You can't say Tomasi didn't try to spice it up, though. I think almost every character in the DCU shows up in this thing. Ok, no. Not really.
But there were a lot of guest appearances. It seems that quite a few big names want to be seen...
