I find this title perplexing. I'm unable to drop, because there's talent working here. But what made Dick Grayson Dick Grayson has been stripped from his history.

I just can't conceive of him as never having been a Teen Titan. They can say he never was as much as they want and offer up 'substitutes' fulfilling the Titans in his life, but it all adds up to noise.

Though she hasn't been on LW in an age, Conjure Lass is the biggest proponent of this series so far on Facebook. And I wholeheartedly back that endorsement--I've been enjoying the relaunched Nightwing immensely.

The last Dick series, "Grayson" was a twist that I didn't find all that appealing--having lost his identity and now a spy--but ultimately I came to love the series as it was just so damn well written & drawn. Here, we appear to be getting that same high quality work but now applied to Dick-back-as-Nightwing, and that feels very good indeed.

I enjoyed Grayson a lot - not necessarily the spy stuff, but the characters, the writing and the art were all top notch.

Nightwing has been nice so far. Not amazing, but well above average. I thought I was going to hate the new character but I found myself liking Raptor. They're a good pair/couple

Yeah, I like the dynamic between Dick and Raptor a lot so far. And whoever designed Raptor deserves some praise, as he's got a really great visual.

#2 further enhances the Raptor / Nightwing dynamic. Raptor may just be the most interesting new DC character in ages!

This book kinda had everything going for it right now. Phenomenal art, the new exciting coloring techniques of the indie scene, a terrific handle on the lead and his personality, some solid relationships (Dick / Raptor, but also Dick's relationships with Bruce and Babs) and a really interesting plot.

Well done! I can't remember a Nightwing book this good. Since Dixon? Before Devin Grayson for sure, and that was like 15 years ago or something.

The current Bludhaven arc has been a blast for this long-time Nightwing fan. I love all the twists and turns in the story, even when a lot of them were not too shocking. I love the usage of the 90's Nightwing / Chuck Dixon villains, who walk a fine line in this story.

This was a great follow-up to the excellent Raptor opening arcs.

This arc was so much fun. I enjoyed the movement between characters, the new Bludhaven (still corrupt, but more self-interested and spread out than the BIG CRIME BOSS of old), the new villain (just enough to interest you, not a 100% explanation of him).

The old Nightwing villains all had a chance to shine and I learned more about them here than I did in the old series. Nicely done.
