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

i liked this book, to put it blatently. nightwing is my favorite member of the bat-fam. i have not read a lot of comics at this point but it was enjoyable nonetheless. the art is amazing. not a fan of nightwing and batgirl together. i like him better with starfire. the villan was kind of cheesy. hate the fact that alfred died i thought he was immortal, still upset about that.
would reccomend.
would reccomend.
The art… 10/10.
2.5. This was good, but there were a couple things I didn’t like. The whole sister thing coming out of nowhere… this late in the game it just looks tacked on and a plot device, something that was done because they ran out of ideas for the character. The villain: Heartless… *HAHAHAHAHAHAHA*! Oh my gosh, I think he was supposed to be scary but it was SO SILLY. His stupid mask and the wall of plastic jars were just so ridiculous I couldn’t stop chuckling. Please get a better villain.
Overall I thought the story was pretty good. It wasn’t the most complex plot, but still enjoyable. I loved seeing Tim Drake Robin and Barbara. My sister is going to kill me but… I ship it. I ship Dick and Barbara (if you find my body somewhere, it was my sister Phoebe, a really hardcore Nightwing-Starfire fan). The panels were really creative and once again the art was fantastic. I can’t really say much about the coloring since I read it on a kindle, so it was black and white (I’ll try to find it someplace in color). A fun read.

This was the Nightwing I missed. And with the fallout of Alfred continuing I really, really loved coming back here.
Dang I have feelings. Also I was not at all sure which continuity this is so that was a shock. Praying we don't get the whole Tarantula thing, he deserves better.

Once they got the obligatory catch-up exposition out of the way, the story really became its own entity, and was snort-out-loud funny at multiple points. Tom Taylor has never done me wrong, and he better not start now

Well this was unexpectedly wholesome and a lot better than the last Nightwing comic I tried to read. The plot was pretty engaging and there was a good mix of character moments and action. The art was dynamic and well done. A pleasant surprise.
