8 on Nightwing #118 reviewAlas, Tom Taylor ends his tenure on Nightwing with the final chapter of Fallen Grayson. After framing Grayson for murder, stealing his identity, and blackmailing the city, Heartless and Nightwing finally confront one another! Of course, Taylor must reconcile each and every loose end in this storyline. Let's see if he sticks the landing. (Yes,…
This past week, Ram V finished his two-year long "Gotham: Nocturne" saga, and with it his run on Detective Comics. Stepping into the role is writer Tom Taylor (Nightwing, Injustice) along with artist Mikel Janín (Batman, Grayson). As part of DC's "All In" initiative, the upcoming run promises to explore new villains as well as…
As Tom Taylor's run nears its end, Nightwing #113 works as a makeshift anthology for its #300 issue milestone. Somewhat feeling like an annual, it features three consecutive stories told by Tom Taylor, Marv Wolfman, and Richard W. Conrad. The issue honors the spirit of the run so far, and ominously teases what's to come.…
The second half of Nightwing's latest tale begins with a race to find a missing child. Initially, Nightwing and Batman assume Heartless is behind the sudden homicide, but truthfully, something worse happening. Let's take a closer look. Proud Of My Son Interestingly, Tom Taylor continues to tell this story from Batman's perspective. Batman's observations about…
Honestly, in between earth shattering events and family squabbles, Batman and Nightwing never get much face time. Luckily, when Heartless kills a man in Gotham, Dick and Bruce unite to solve the sensitive mystery together. Coincidentally, the murderer leaves the victims son Iko alive. Let's dive deeper. Left Behind While out on patrol, Batman encounters…
We've made it to the end! Like any uncomfortably long and rough road trip, all I want to do is get out and kiss the ground. Before Tom Taylor's Beast World ends, the heroes must figure out how to stop Dr. Hate and Amanda Waller's plans. Show Your Work I don't know when or how,…
As usual, DC promises that every event will be "a game changer," and that the universe "won't be the same." To this end, Beast World features violent mass murder and trauma throughout that world. Most importantly, our optimistic changeling, Beast Boy, is now dead. Before the DC Universe can mourn the lost hero, they must…
Imperceptibly, Nightwing makes use of its cat meme cover and tells an actual "cat person" story. By the convenience of Beast World, Nightwing and Jon Kent team up to track down Damian when he goes missing. Although, they may need to pry him out of the hands of DC's newest "Beast Woman." Good Cop, Super…
Tom Taylor continues to guide the Titans through their first and possibly last time leading a crisis. As the tension and collateral rises, Amanda Waller pulls the trigger at just the right time to undermine the heroes. Let's take a look! Pain, Confusion, Fear, and Loss Where the heroes have begun to run out of…
Originally, this arc was going to be Nightwing's first swashbuckling pirate adventure. An infamous yet secretive pirate crew protecting their mysterious bank needed his help following theft and murder! Unfortunately, I think the ship has sailed on Tom Taylor's pirate arc. Let's take a look. The Heart of The Story First and foremost, the story…
Titans #4 slows down Tom Taylor's epic to focus on the smaller gears moving the story. As the Titans question their new direction and Wally's impending death, other sinister elements develop before the Titans can realize. One Good Deed At A Time Taylor circles back to the symbiotic relationship between Beast Boy and Raven. Comparatively,…
The Titans have had enough of Brother Blood and his new Church of Blood. Although Sebastian Sanger dedicates himself to a rebrand as a televangelist, the heroes aren't taking any chances. Meanwhile, the shadow of The Flash's future death heavily weighs on the team. As a reminder, the Flash will die 48 hours in the…
The winners for the 2023 Eisner Awards have just been announced at San Diego Comic-Con. Plenty of titles were honored this year, but Nightwing and The Human Target led the pack with two wins apiece. Out of its three nominations, Nightwing won Best Continuing Series and Best Cover Artist (Bruno Redondo). It wasn't the only bat-related…
Nightwing #105 features art completely from Nightwing’s first person point of view, creating an interesting but debatably distracting, visual experience. Tom Taylor’s script is solid, but Bruno Redondo’s pencils display the pros and cons of dedicating an entire issue to a single visual perspective, no matter how fun the novelty appears at first glance. The…
Dark Knights of Steel readies itself for the final phase of the story. As Protex conspires to destroy the El Kingdom once and for all, the heroes plan out all their necessary defensive measures. Although there is only one more issue to go, the penultimate chapter shows a a surprising amount of restraint. In fact,…
Tom Taylor indulges his worst habits in Nightwing #104, creating a comic that seems hellbent on delivering a lackluster finale to an otherwise promising arc. Travis Moore’s art is aesthetically pleasing, but Taylor’s script gives him little to work with, resulting in a bland, surface level reading experience. The cliffhanger from last month had Neron…
The Dawn Of DC is finally upon us. After the death and return of the Justice League in Joshua Williamson's Dark Crisis, Nightwing and the Titans become the premiere team in the DCU. Unfortunately, the target on their back grows larger and larger as the Titans settle into their new position. Forever & A Daze…
Nightwing #103 delivers a fun, genuinely surprising story with impressive art from Travis Moore and Vasco Georgiev. Sometimes Taylor’s sense of humor drains the tension from what should be a thrilling narrative. However, this time the series takes itself more seriously, letting the jokes better integrate itself into the drama, rather than inhibiting it. Nightwing,…
DCeased finally reaches the end of its five year long tragedy. As death comes to the worlds of the multiverse, only the brave heroes of Earth-2 stand on the front lines. Granted, will be there any kind of life to salvage if the heroes manage to prevail? The Final Battle Originally, Darkseid's pursuit of the…
The fighting finally ends after the latest death of one of the three monarchs in the land. Sadly, the existence of this new threat means that the war isn't over. Hopefully knowing the truth can restore the trust between the kingdoms before it is too late. The mother of the Amazons has died in battle.…
