BEST COMIC EVER!!!!
This entire book made me fall in love with Dick Grayson and Nightwing. I liked Nightwing, sure. But this book made me love the character and put in the same tiers as Superman, Batman and Spider-Man.
The writing is phenomenal and the art pushed what kind of art you can do in this space.
I cannot recommend this book enough to everyone. It immediately establishes who Dick Grayson is as a character in both personas. It also knows who to use as supporting characters for Dick’s story going forward.
I love how this book utilizes different art styles to tell the story.
Also, the humor. There were so many times I laughed out loud reading this. I cannot wait to read more!

This comic has EVERYTHING. Good story that's easy to get into without a whole lot of prior knowledge/reading, Dick adopting a cute dog, wholesome family moments, good artwork, and Dick using his fortune to give back to the city. Can't wait to read the next volume!

Dick Grayson at his best: embodying the best of both Batman and Robin. A light in the dark
The art is incredibly beautiful, simultaneously feeling modern and nostalgic. The story his that perfect balance of honoring and building-off the characters' long history and providing a perfect entry point to people new to Nightwing or Batman comics as a whole

Collecting Nightwing #78-83 (2021 series), Stepping Into the Light, while not a full story, is an AMAZING comic. Dick, Babs and Tim have rarely been so well written. Or funny. Tom Taylor is emerging as one of my favorite current-day writers as a result, and it's almost unbelievable given past assignments like Injustice and DCeased. There is a darkness in his Blüdhaven - it's a cesspool, after all - but he makes Nightwing (and newly-minted billionaire Dick Grayson) such a guiding light for the city that it never feels grim even with a serial killer on the loose. Part of the charm is Bruno Redondo's beautifully designed art and Adriano Lucas' colorful palette. An acrobatic hero like Nightwing deserves to be clearly seen in motion, and these artists are clever in their portrayal of action (and also produce some of the best covers on the stands since this chapter of Dick's story began). Easy to jump into (I haven't read any Nightwing since early issues of the New52), the notion is that having inherited wealth, Dick needs to decide what to do with, a decision that's sure to contrast with real-world billionaires. Not even Bruce Wayne is in the same league as Dick. There's a new mysterious villain that's connected to this take, but also a new ally Dick didn't see coming, but it's how the book made me feel that makes me recommend it so highly. Rare are comics that can make me burst out laughing one minute, and start weeping the next. It's the GRACE with which Dick comports himself that does it. This run may well turn out to be the high water mark for the character.
