I read this for a book club. Superhero comics aren't normally my jam, but I am pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this!

Ladies, gents, and non-binary friends, after 27 reads this year so far, I finally have a five star read! Took me long enough and I'm so glad I picked this up! This is my first foray into superhero comics and wow, was I utterly delighted! I honestly think I am entering my comics era because I loved this volume so much. The art is magnificent, the characters are compelling (read: Dick Grayson is incredibly hot), and the story was just solid from the worldbuilding to the heartfelt emotional moments. Absolutely brilliant! Definitely ordering the next volumes soon.

Although I’ve always loved superhero shows and movies, I’ve never actually read a comic. However, after recently falling back into my obsession with DC, a friend lent me Volume 1 of Tom Taylor’s Nightwing comics and I am hooked.
Taylor’s writing is the perfect blend of hilarious and dark. Nightwing is one of my favorite heroes, and Taylor writes him perfectly. I also loved the Batfamily cameos (especially that of Babs and Tim, I love them so much). Not to mention Nightwing’s dog, Haley (aka Bitewing), who I’m obsessed with. 🥹
The art was amazing, too, and I loved how the artists played with space to keep my attention! I don’t typically branch out into graphic novels or comics very often, but I’m glad I did, and I’ll definitely be picking up more in the future! 🫶🏼
4.75/5
