We have reached the end of an era. Tim Seeley has been writing Dick Grayson pretty consistently for the past several years.  He and Tom King detailed Dick's exploits as Agent 37 of Spyral in Grayson, one of the most unique and surprisingly excellent new comics of the decade.  After a brief hiatus to prep…

Someone should really look into Bludhaven… They appear to have a serious steroid problem! As we all know, this is Tim Seeley’s final arc. I’m sad to see him go because he’s delivered some great Dick Grayson stories over the past few years, but I also understand the need or desire to move on. To…

Dick Grayson and Raptor go head to head in a battle of wits and words in Nightwing #32, trading rooftops for the glitz and glamour of a casino. This is a dialogue-heavy issue of Nightwing, dealing more with the histories and relationships between characters than in fights and action.  Given Seeley's knack for writing dialogue,…

This is the second issue in a row with a pretty misleading cover.  Last issue made it look like Raptor and Blockbuster were going to team up to take out Nightwing, which... didn't happen.  This one is a little more vague, but it still looks like Orca makes a return which... also doesn't happen. Ah…

Well, we're reaching the end of the road.  In just a few short months, Tim Seeley will no longer be writing Dick Grayson.  Beginning with December's 35th issue, current Green Lanterns writer Sam Humphries will take over the title, while Seeley will be the new writer on Green Lanterns.  A nice old switcheroo. It feels…

The Dark Knights of the Dark Multiverse have arrived, and in their wake comes destruction.  To recap: Challengers Mountain, the headquarters of the Challengers of the Unknown, has suddenly nestled itself in Gotham City.  That, along with the arrival of the heralds of Barbatos, have made Gotham a war zone. I mean, even more so…

Hey, did you guys see that we were given an exclusive preview of this issue?  That was pretty awesome.  Exclusives are great, and being able to represent Nightwing was cool too. Following last issue's reveal that Tiger isn't actually behind Spyral's recent shenanigans, issue 28 opens with a little bit of everything that makes Nightwing…

"Nightwing and the Huntress in..." When I saw that, I giggled.   Not even joking.  It's fun little touches like that that show the writers and artists are having just as much fun creating a book as you are reading it.  While Nightwing is decidedly and firmly set in the superhero genre, there's no reason…

Dick Grayson is angry. Understandably so: since moving to Blüdhaven to try and figure out his his purpose, things haven't exactly gone his way.  He thought he'd found love and a true reason to stay, though a pregnancy scare and kidnapping didn't help matters much.  That's to say nothing of his stupid mouth either, as…

25 issues already.  It's crazy to think that it's only been a year since Dick took up the Nightwing mantle again.  Shipping bi-monthly certainly gets you more adventures, of course, and a starring role in Titans means even more Nightwing for your buck. To celebrate a year back in blue, the ever reliable Tim Seeley…

Imagine if you will a story told in two parts.  One deals with some domestic issues among a few supporting characters, a largely dialogue-driven affair that takes place within the office of a community center.  The writing is engrossing, thanks in no small part due to the fact that you care about these people.  We…

Oh Dick, don't you know better than to make a deal with the devil? I suppose not, because if he did this would be one short story arc.  "Blockbuster" continues this week with Roland Desmond, the titular villain, making Dick an offer to take down the gangster Tiger Shark that the former Boy Wonder begrudgingly…

Alright, let's talk about the very best thing on that cover.  You know what it is without me having to even say anything.  It's not that dynamic shot of Nightwing kicking Blockbuster in the face.  It's not that couple in the background, one of whom is taking a picture with an awful bright flash.  It's…

It's boy's night in Blüdhaven as Dick Grayson and Wally West take a night off and bro down.  Given the difficulties the two have been through in their respective personal lives, what with girlfriends being kidnapped or completely forgetting they exist, the boys decide to just chill out and have a nice, relaxing evening sans…
