4 on Batgirls #1 reviewIt’s here, one of the titles I’ve been asking for almost since the moment I fell headlong into Batman comics. Batgirls! At long last we are being gifted a title featuring not one, not two, but all three Batgirls together on their very own adventure. It’s safe to say I’m very excited for this series,…
Nightwing #86 is a fine ending to Tom Taylor and Robbi Rodriguez’s three issue tie-in arc to Fear State even if its final moments solidify it as a mere digression from the series’ main narrative. While there’s no true attempt to bridge the gap between Taylor’s Blüdhaven storyline with Fear State, the character work between…
Nightwing #85 spends more time relitigating the past than focusing on the Fear State drama at hand. A Nightwing book in name only, fans of Barbara Gordon will find some entertainment in the book’s focus on her attempt to reclaim her Oracle mantle, but everyone else is merely waiting for this tie-in arc to end.…
Nightwing #84 is a skippable, yet breezy enough read for long time fans. Tom Taylor’s script doesn’t spend much time addressing dangling plot threads from the main narrative, and instead dives head first into Fear State and the newfound dangers that come along with it. Robbi Rodriguez’s art is a fine enough fill-in, though the…
Nightwing #83 snaps the series back into focus, armed with a great action sequence, tender moments between Dick and others, and an ending that finally solidifies a direction for the series. While I can’t shake a sense of fan service that permeates through the book, Taylor and Redondo execute their vision with ample precision and…
Scooby and the gang are back, and they're facing their greatest threat yet- Black Mask! They'll need some help on this one, and who better than Nightwing and Batgirl? That's right sports fans, Nightwing is here!! In a Scooby-Doo comic!! I literally could not be happier. Now, before I spend my entire article gushing about…
I’ve been known to piss my friends off from time to time by the way that I tell them about myself. It’s not intentional, mind you! I don’t make a point to gather people around a campfire, wistfully boasting of my accomplishments as if I didn’t peak in high school five years ago. The problem…
Future State: Nightwing #2 is a classic case of falling under the weight of too much ambition. A lot of stuff happens but without any true rhyme or reason. Themes are spit out by various characters without any pretense of character development, wit, or true insight. Worst of all, I can’t say that Andrew Constant’s…
Thanks to my job, I don’t really have the need to buy physical DC comics anymore. Week to week, everyone at Batman News is given access to the latest the company has to offer, which is an insane privilege which I feel grateful for every time I boot up my computer. It gives me the…
I’ve been making my way through all of the new Future State stories and while many have been enjoyable, most are marred by a surplus of exposition as they attempt to establish the world they take place in. Thankfully, Future State: Nightwing #1 features one of the better balances between character and world building even…
Dick Grayson has had a rich and colourful history throughout his tenure in the DC Universe: beginning from being the very first Robin to the Caped Crusader, Nightwing eventually took a persona of his own, stepping into his own world outside of the Batman's shadow. Now, fresh off the heels of the "Ric Grayson" storyline,…
WARNING: Full spoilers for all of Three Jokers will follow. Well, here we are. DC’s Rebirth line began over four years ago now, and when bookended with Dark Nights: Death Metal, we see one of the most interesting creative trajectories a comic book company has made in recent history. What started as a critically and…
WARNING: There’s no way around it – this review is going to contain heavy spoilers. It’s no secret that I’ve been incredibly excited for this book. As someone who grew up with Geoff Johns’ Justice League run – it’s honestly a big part of what motivated me to get into comics at all – Three…
There’s going to be a lot of talk about Nightwing #74 regardless of whether or not it’s actually a quality book. It marks a new status quo for Dick and the Bat Family, while apparently severing ties with many things that came along with the Ric saga. While I think there’s a lot of promise…
WARNING: I will try my best to make this as spoiler-free as possible, but if you’d rather go in completely blind, I would recommend buying and reading the book before this review. The year is 2016, and we’re on the back end of the New 52. I’m heavily invested in Justice League: Darkseid War: a…
The Joker War is here and it’s come to further cement its stake in Dan Jurgens’ run with Nightwing #73. While there are some question marks with Barbara’s appearance here given that she just paralyzed herself to defy the Joker in her own series, Jurgens and Ryan Benjamin cut loose and embrace Dick Grayson’s new…
The Babsgirl of Burnside is something I would rather forget. 30-something issues into the New 52, DC went all silly with Barbara Gordon, and it took a long time for her to get anywhere close to serious again. Don’t get me wrong—I like fun; but DC had turned Barbara into something of a caricature of…
