It took a long time to get here but we finally made it. The final installment of the Saiko saga is here and it also directly connects to this week's issue of "Batman". In fact, the final pages of "Batman" and "Nightwing" are almost identical except this book's conclusion is taken from Nightwing's perspective. But…

I'm starting to think I should drop Nightwing and pick up Red Hood & the Outlaws or Birds of Prey instead. I'm just so ambivalent about this title. There are just as many things I do enjoy as there are things that I don't and in the end it's fairly forgettable. I love Barrows' pencils and…

I read comics because I enjoy a good story. So seeing Dick Grayson punch a demon in Nightwing #5 or Batman punching Anubis in this week's Batman: Odyssey #4 doesn't impress me much. It's as if there are two kinds of comics in the super hero genre: those that try to tell a story and…

Issue #2 is a definite step up in quality for Nightwing. The debut issue was very… "meh." Dick walked around a lot and we read his inner monologue while he reunited with friends from Haly's circus, including a future love interest who looks like Barbara Gordon (but isn't). Ya know, like how in Batgirl #2…

It's okay. It's not a great book. It's not a terrible book. It's…it's okay. I mean, if you have three bucks burning a hole in your pocket and you love Dick Grayson then pick it up! You're not going to regret the decision, but you're definitely not going to look back on this story with…
