My Review
This is the second—and probably last—DC comic book I’ve read.
I don’t have anything against DC, I’ve simply realized comic books are not my
thing. I knew this before buying both this one and the Red Hood and the Outlaws comic, but I thought I could beat my own
preferences. I like reading my stories, not trying to read and interpret images
and figure out the order of the thought bubbles.
That being said, this comic was good. It simply wasn’t my
thing. Dick Grayson is still the lovable Nightwing and ex-Robin that a lot of
us have grown to love, and his good-guy personality really shines. Furthermore,
his character development provided me with an aspect to the story that the Red Hood and the Outlaws comic didn’t.
Additionally, I liked how this comic went back to the roots of Dick’s origins.
I love comic book backstories. I also really enjoyed the small appearances of
members of the Bat Family. (I wish those scenes had been longer though.)
As for the plot, it was a little slow through the middle,
but things really picked up towards the end. I was ridiculously surprised by
the revelation a certain Bat Family member gives Dick. If this were a book
series instead of a comic series, I’d probably be ordering the sequel right away.
However, as I’ve explained overly much, comics and I just don’t mix.
All in all, if you’re a fan of comics or even graphic novels
and a fan of Batman and/or Nightwing, I’d suggest giving this one a try.
Although, who am I kidding? If you’re a fan of Batman, you’ve probably read
this already.
*Note: I purchased
a copy of this comic for myself. This in no way affected my opinion/review.
