Last issue ended with Ric freeing Bea from captivity and confronting Talon, Dick Grayson’s great-grandfather, on the rooftop of the Prodigal bar. Issue #65 picks up with Talon still in mid-leap toward Ric, and we’re off to the races… But only if it’s a turtle race. The overall arc is still moving at the pace…

Every time I’ve opened a copy of Nightwing in the last year, I’ve mentally braced myself. (Yes, the “Ric” Grayson saga has run for about a year, not the interminable, dreary eons it seems like to some of us.) I did that again with #64. To my surprise, I found myself relaxing as I read, thinking…

The last issue ended with Talon William Cobb on a rooftop, using a drone to shadow Ric. Lex Luthor appeared on the rooftop to make Cobb an offer, but we don’t see the specifics of it. [spoiler] The solicitations say he offers Cobb what he’s always wanted, a chance to get Dick Grayson into the…

The misadventures of Ric Grayson continue in Nightwing #62. Now, if you’re like me, then you were excited with the tease of the Court of the Owls for this issue… Unfortunately, we barely get any of that here. Instead, we get more repetitive nonsense and filler. We got Ric'd y'all. We got Ric'd... The Story…

Welcome back to the misadventures of Ric “I’m not a hero but let me go save people” Grayson. I will admit that this is one of the better issues of this run – or maybe I’m just getting used to this mess – but it’s still not great. Before you jump into my review… Do…

This month, the Nightwings discover that water can stop fire. Ric Grayson is apparently on the same level as Neanderthals. Look, this review isn’t going to be very long. There’s really not much I can say about this title that I haven’t said before, and there’s honestly not much in this issue that sets it…

Your enjoyment of this issue will depend on your stance with a number of things involving Nightwing at the moment. Despite your stance though, you can’t deny that Dan Jurgens brings a much better aesthetic to the table than previous writers. That, alone, deserves to be recognized. DC is continuing to run with this Ric…

Let’s be honest, Nightwing is better now than when DC started this whole Ric Grayson stint, but it’s still far from great. On the surface, this story might appear to be decent, but when you start digging in, it quickly falls apart. And no, Joker’s Daughter definitely doesn’t help. Two huge problems continue to plague…

Despite the fact that we’re still having to endure this Ric Grayson nonsense, Nightwing #57 takes a number of steps in the right direction.  To make things even better, we have Travis Moore covering art duties! I was hesitant to say this, but… things are looking up, people! It’s no secret that I’ve hated Nightwing…

Ric Grayson continues his misadventures in this week’s Nightwing #56, and before the current arc ever really gets going, it ends… Because, apparently, the book doesn’t have enough problems as it is. It’s no secret that I haven’t enjoyed Nightwing ever since Dick Grayson was shot in the head. I know some people are enjoying…

Ric Grayson continues his misadventures in Bludhaven, which is sure to get DC more Twitter comments along the lines of… On a positive note, at least there’s finally some plot progression with Scarecrow. That’s good, right? Kind of. While the best thing about this issue is Scarecrow and how Mooneyham draws him, I feel like…

Nightwing reaches “dumpster fire” status for me this week, and considering the number of pages used to recap the story increases with each issue, I suspect we’ll have two-page plots before too long… I’ve made it very clear since the beginning that I’m not a fan of this concept. Taking a character and removing their…
