carleeiigh's review against another edition

4.0

Not the best, but certainly an entertaining Nightwing so far. I loved Dicks' character (though he's not as chatty as the Year One volume was) and the entire story with Harvey Dent. Love that they include aspects of their relationship from Robin Year One. Good art, no egregious anatomy that I noticed in a quick read through. Loved Alfred's little appearance, too as always.

Complaints are more my problem - but the tie-ins to Batman RIP are minimal but still pretty vague. Bruce is gone but Dick doesn't seem to have a problem with it at all. No Robin to be seen either despite his trip to the Cave. Also there's the same thing of him being too busy with hero stuff to be a good boyfriend, which is tiresome. Still, loved the mainline story.

This was the first Nightwing story I read, and it's what made me love Dick as much as I do. I feel lucky that I managed to read this one first, because unlike in many other Nightwing books, Dick is really likable and awesome and fun and emotional and everything that makes Dick Dick, you know? It was a pity that Tomasi's run was more or less stopped short because of the events of Batman R.I.P. etc, because I think his plans for Dick were great. Sigh. But at least now we have Scott Snyder's Detective Comics. Until September, that is.

This is older, preceding the Blackest Night storyline, and pulling elements from (what was then) a fresher in the mind release of Robin: Year One, and it's better than I thought it was going to be. The art was Rags Morales, and the plot is a twisty affair. The bridge material at the end that leads into the company-wide event is misplaced as always, but this volume is totally worth your time.
