It's the conclusion to what's definitely the best arc of the Kyle Higgins' Nightwing so far, but it also wraps things up a little too quickly and a little too neatly. When we left things off 2 months ago, Prankster had henchmen causing chaos all over town and he had even turned the entire city against…

Do you love the "Go Sports Team!!" banner at the bottom left-hand corner of the cover as much as I do? Anyway, the good news is that Nightwing #23 is very good. The bad news is that with Villains Month happening in September you'll have to wait until October to see the finale of this…

I'll address the #1 concern first: the art. Almost everyone seemed to be in love with Brett Booth and Norm Rapmund's new look for the Nightwing series and there was a great deal of outrage when it was revealed in an interview that Booth and Rapmund would be abandoning Dick Grayson's adventure for the higher…

Damn you, Brett Booth, why did you have to leave this title? Just like the last two issues, Nightwing looks fantastic, there's lots of energy, and a great deal of fun to be had. It's just a really good series to be reading right now. Both writer Kyle Higgins and the art team are delivering…

Issue #20 "Flying Blind" is exactly what I needed today. The comics I've read so far this Wednesday have been pretty disappointing, but Nightwing is time well spent. For starters, this comic does a fine job of picking up where the last one left off,even the aftermath of the horrifying torture scene is addressed, but…

Brett Booth artwork and a bold new direction are in store for Wingnuts this month! Here we have an issue that will give fans a lot to discuss but I don't really know how much I should give away because every page is something relatively new. It's one of the best jumping-on points for any…

With 8 Batman related comics up for review today I'm going to try and keep all articles at around 300 words in length. I think if I went for the usual 1000-2000 word piece it could very well kill me. So here we go. Short and sweet: First of all, you're probably wanting to know…

Death of the Family is over and all of the Bat-titles that took part in the crossover event are going back to business as usual. All of them, that is, except for Nightwing. Of all the members of the batfamily, no one got hit harder than Dick Grayson. I would argue that even Batman himself…

Nightwing #16 is a book that I've read twice both because I enjoyed it and because it few by so quickly I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything. Let me ask you: how many Joker vs. Dick Grayson throw-downs can you name? Not many I suspect. I'm sure the Joker's Last Laugh comes…

When a creative team takes off for 2 months to give a cross-over tie-in their full attention it's understandable that fan expectations will rise. Thankfully, Kyle Higgins and Eddy Barrows have exceeded expectations with Nightwing #15. A major complaint that I have with tie-in books is that many of them suffer from a lack of consequence.…

Here's another quick Thanksgiving Day comic review! Is Nightwing #14 worth buying? No! Not at all. It's a boring and predictable issue. This two-part story was nothing more than filler while Nightwing's true creative team took a breather and recharged for the upcoming Death of the Family tie-in. How was it boring and predictable? Nightwing…

Well that was...kind of boring, actually. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't that good either. Kyle Higgins and Eddy Barrows have taken a two issue break and Tom DeFalco and Andres Guinaldo (whose work you've seen before in this series) are filling in for a brief adventure before all Bat-titles dive head first into the…

2012: The year characters figured out Batman's identity just by looking at his face. This issue focuses entirely on Dick Grayson's Robin origin and leaves the Nightwing transformation for another day. It uses quite a few elements from the animated series, sets up the next storyline with Lady Shiva, and even nods to its previous…

Let's catch up! The last issue ended with Paragon killing all of his henchmen with whips stolen from the set of Iron Man II. All alone now, Paragon turned to Detective Nie with an offer of some kind. Detective Nie believes that Nightwing killed two cops, one of which was Nie's lover, but that crime was…

I must admit I was a bit worried going into issue #11. After 11 months of Court of Owls business doing yet another secret society storyline definitely didn't peak my interest, but I'm happy to report that Kyle Higgins is handling his own clandestine organization differently enough that this story feels fresh and 100% Nightwing.…

This was excellent. SCORE: 9.5/10 Alright, I guess you want me to elaborate. Well, honestly this feels like what the very first issue of New 52 "Nightwing" should have been: the start of a brand new era of Nightwing. He's laying his roots down in Gotham. No more venturing around the country, no more moves…

This issue spends the bulk of its time elaborating on William Cobb's past. It's fascinating stuff that not only builds on the history of this character, but Nightwing's past and the history of Gotham itself. Now, just because I say that this deals with a lot of back-story doesn't mean that Higgins and company skimped…

Helluva day for Batman comics, everybody. Both "Batman" and "Nightwing" really brought their A-game this week. I'll even go so far as saying that I think #8 is the best issue of Nightwing so far! Note: I know it's a really great cover, and very tempting, but DO NOT open this book up until you've…
