12 on Nightwing Annual: 2022 #1 reviewNightwing Annual: 2022 #1 delivers a trio of stories with only one of them truly being worth your time. While it’s a little odd to have Heartless’ origin in an issue some readers may skip, Taylor’s script delivers a deliciously over the top rundown of who Heartless is and how he came to be. Unfortunately,…
The penultimate chapter of DC Vs. Vampires has finally begun! Batgirl, Supergirl, and Green Arrow each make their final plays against the vampire horde. Unfortunately, the stakes are sky high and there is no room for failure in their final hours. I want to ask Tynion and Rosenberg the hard questions first. The status of…
Tom Taylor cranks up the meta meter with the occasionally amusing Nightwing #98, which features the debut of Nite-Mite. Whenever a fifth dimensional imp shows up the sky’s the limit for whatever shenanigans can ensue. However, Taylor’s script spends a lot of time poking fun at reader expectations and widens the scope to address concerns…
Hey folks! Matina is out, so I'll be handling the Batgirls review this week. I'll be up front, I haven't been keeping up with this book week to week, but I did some rush reading in preparation for this, so if I get something wrong, you know why. Alright, with the disclaimer out of the way,…
Gotham Knights has been out for about a week ago, and I gotta say- I'm having a blast. The story is heartfelt and interesting, the characters, while a little different than their comic book counterparts, are well-written and heartfelt, and the gameplay, while definitely a big change from the Arkham series, holds its own and…
Nightwing #97 is a well executed issue that slows down the series after its bombastic climax in ”The Battle for Blüdhaven’s Heart”. The stakes are well defined, there’s simmering tension as crooked cops remain a present threat, and all the while Heartless remains hidden on the fringes. However, there’s a growing sense of safety and…
The mystery of the Hill Ripper continues in this month’s Batgirls. Their investigation deepens as outside sources give them help and support. Additionally their relationships grow and change in their day to day lives. I mentioned this in my last review, but I feel like with this arc the story is finding a groove that…
Nightwing #96 delivers a crowd pleasing, action packed finale to Tom Taylor’s “Battle for Blüdhaven’s Heart” storyline. The action is exciting, the character moments endearing, and the future of the series is brighter than ever. A few plot points feel rushed, particularly given the slow pace of Taylor’s run so far, but it’s hard to…
Batgirls #10 continues the girl’s investigation into the Hill Ripper and who killed their neighbor. The story feels light and fun, and keeps the detective work split evenly between Barbara on her own, and Steph and Cass. For me, something in Batgirls clicked this issue. We’re ten issues and a couple arcs in, and I…
Batgirls continues this month with it’s more focused narrative, aiming it’s story at just a few elements rather than trying to tackle everything and the kitchen sink. Last month they wrapped up the plotline focused on Seer and the Saints and now time for the Batgirls to move onto a new mystery: Just who is…
Nightwing #94 manages to keep the tension going strong by raising the stakes even further for Dick, Barbara, and especially Melinda Zucco, who finds herself more prevalent than before. Geraldo Borges fills in for Bruno Redondo again, but still delivers high quality art even if the overall aesthetic is much different. Tom Taylor’s script wastes…
After dropping Seer off at their door, and promising to help her the Batgirls finish making good on that agreement this month as they wrap up this two part mini-arc. Featuring not only the Batgirls, but Nightwing as well, it’s sure to be a fun one. I enjoyed issue #8 of Batgirls. It’s not perfect,…
Nightwing #93 is frustrating in that it’s so good that I question why Tom Taylor waited so long to finally turn up the heat in his core narrative. While last month’s issue got some praise in returning its focus to Blüdhaven, this issue doubles down by delivering great action and using that momentum to create…
Now that Batgirls has wrapped up its first arc, the story is moving forward at a steady pace into its next one. Last issue ended with Seer literally knocking at the girls' door, one of their enemies having come straight to them. Will they hear out her plea for help, or send her packing? Already…
Nightwing #92 finally has the series return its focus to Blüdhaven and Dick Grayson’s Haven project. There’s been a lack of momentum in the series’ larger narrative, but Tom Taylor’s script better manages to tell a contained story while also setting up compelling pieces with Blockbuster who has mostly stayed on the sidelines until now.…
Batgirls is at the end of its first arc, and what an opening story it’s been. Packed full of new locations, bad guys, and adventure the girls have been more than busy. Let’s see how all the pieces of their first puzzle come together, shall we? This issue of Batgirls pretty much picks up right…
Nightwing #91 is a strong conclusion to the somewhat unfocused “Get Grayson” era of the series. Since Fear State, a Superman: Son of Kal El crossover, and now a Flash team-up arc have slowed the momentum of the series, the core narrative of Nightwing has been about various assassins trying to kill Dick Grayson. Thankfully,…
My excitement over Batgirls seems to be dwindling with every issue I pick up. Five issues in and I feel like the plot is in roughly the same place it was at the very start, which doesn't make for a very exciting story. The Batgirls are still fighting the same set of villains they were…
Nightwing #90 features yet another attempt on Dick Grayson’s life, courtesy of Blockbuster and the city officials who are in his pocket. While the narrative definitely spins its wheels with a third issue dedicated to attempts on Dick’s life, this one succeeds in upping the stakes by putting more civilians in harm’s way as ever.…
With the Batgirls making headway into their investigation into Tutor last issue, will they finally catch him this time around? And what about all those other villains they keep tangling with, will they make any progress finding them this month? We’re four issues into Batgirls and honestly? It still doesn't feel like it knows what…
