This was so good omg!
So the story takes place in Chicago after Nightwing moves there to find Tony Zucco and what he discovers is a mad city and that he maybe working for the mayor and also a new villain in "Prankster' and what his motives are, and yeah the corollary to him being Nightwing's Joker is fun but we see the menace he is with cyber attacks and exposing politicians secrets but when after a confrontation he leaks Zucco's secret then Nightwing has to team up with his enemy to save the mayor's life and also stop Prankster plus new room-mates and the challenge of a city which doesn't want caped heroes!
Its an epic volume and I love how fast paced it is and this new villain was so much fun, you get why he does in the end and his connection to the whole thing and feel bad for him and kinda changes your POV for him and then seeing Dick trying to stop this while working with his arch-villain in Zuco certainly something and whatever the people who freed him in the end are, there are a lot of plot points set up here and the future volumes seem exciting in that regard plus the art of Booth is so good and filled with dynamic energy and makes for a great reading experience!

Really wished that Kyle Higgins could have been given a freer rein, he had something with Dick in Chicago.
It also would have ended with a bigger bang if they had published James Tynion IV's plan for #30, instead of basically a prologue to Grayson. Ah, well.

3.5 stars. I think Nightwing has some of my favorite art in the Bat Family books and I certainly like The Prankster as a villain much better than most of Batgirl's villains lately. There's not a lot of character development here but I like the action.

There's a bonus star in this rating for the artwork.

Very good. Not the best out of the Nightwing stuff by Higgins, but good none the less.
