5.0

I enjoyed this one as much as I thought I would. Dick taking up the mantle of the Bat made much more sense than Azrael doing so, and to read about his struggle with all that - being Batman, not being Robin, not-quite being Nightwing - was really interesting. His confrontation with Two-Face was a nice touch, but the best thing about this really is the ending, plus the talk between Dick and Bruce. I've really taken quite the liking to these characters. (This is an understatement.)

Added after the 3rd read: Yes, this is trés melodramatic. Yes, the art is questionable at times. Yes, Dick has his ponytail. But despite all this, Prodigal remains one of my favorites. It's a must-read for everyone who likes Dick Grayson, and his dynamic with both Tim and Bruce are to die for.
