Starting to feel like Tom Taylor is the guy you call if you need to inject some light and hope into a superhero storyline. Dick Grayson is generally more cheerful and chatty than other members of the Bat family, but I haven't explored much of Nightwing in Blüdhaven in comics and I'm glad to see a corrupt city cast in Taylor's upbeat 'things can change' framing. Bruno Redondo's art really emphasises the humour, action and heart.
Storygraph insists I've read this before, (surprised I don't remember considering how much fun I had reading it this time) but that was back before I made a habit of following up with future volumes. I will definitely be doing so now!
⚠️Animal abuse, domestic abuse

To be honest I haven't read much Nightwing, so maybe that helped me not be hypercritical like I often am when I'm reading a different iteration of a favorite superhero, but this was so much fun. I enjoyed the kind of cheesy snarky jokes, and the interplay and group dynamic among characters we know in this universe. Too often superheroes, especially Batman and family, and solitary and brooding, but this played on friendship and hope.
