Tensions between Commissioner Maggie Sawyer and Nightwing erupt as bothinvestigate a mysterious death. But the shocking revelations they uncover willshake both of their convictions and force them to reassess their allegiances.
Nightwing #125 is another spectacular issue that feels just as captivating, if not more so, than the prior arc, and balances the emphasis on Maggie Sawyer and Nightwing to deliver a more well-rounded depiction of what direction readers can expect this arc to take. Read Full Review
This is one of the best issues of this new run, and it's a perfect pairing of writer, artist, and subject matter. Read Full Review
Nigthwing #125 is perhaps the best issue of the series since Dan Watters took over writing duties. The last issue was a bit disappointing, but this issue turns things around. This mystery sets the series in a different direction. Spheric Solutions will continue to be a player, but Nightwing is going to have to face some other dangers before taking them on with finality.

This arc has serious potential to become a standout moment in theNightwingseries. If the creative team keeps this pace, tone, and thematic depth, were in for another great ride! Read Full Review
Francesco Francavilla nails the detective mystery vibe of this story as Nightwing and Maggie Sawyer's alliance is tested. There are so many great visual design choices made that elevate the story being told. Dan Watters meets the moment by having the writing match the tone set by the artwork. Read Full Review
This is more like it! "By The Book contains several telegraphed storytelling and horror tropes, but manages to capture attention and imagination. Read Full Review
Nightwing #125 brings a new old threat to town. I really hope that it's going to be more intertwined with the story we were already in, rather than something completely new. Only time will tell! Read Full Review
Nightwing #125is caught between a rock and a hard place. While its core is quite promising, the sudden shift in perspective and pace is a rough transition out of such an explosive opening salvo. The art, while not bad, doesn't quite fit the narrative energy of the title either. Otherwise, this is a conceptually stellar issue that continues to layer Bludhaven's history with a fresh sense of supernatural otherness. Read Full Review
The first arc of this book was perfectly OK, the sort of thing that I solidly enjoy but don't eagerly look forward to. But this second arc is off to a very promising start, hearkening back to the days of Gotham Central with wonderfully moody and atmospheric art that suits the grimy noir tone perfectly. A very pleasant surprise
I was dropping this title because I don’t like the regular artists work. Picked this up for FF. Love his art.
It's nice to see Francesco Francavilla again, considering their work on Batman: Black Mirror which is honestly the best Dick Grayson story of all time in my opinion
A step up in storytelling from the last several issues, largely due to a mysterious new antagonist that kicks off a fresh storyline. While I don’t feel like the previous arc was satisfactorily resolved, this new one holds promise. Overall, I feel like the character work has taken a backseat to more plot-driven stories, and that on the whole, the book has dropped a few notches from the Taylor/Redondo glory days. Hopefully Watters can rectify this in future issues.
Love the art style. Story is pathetic. Dan Watters isn't real..it can't be. Pretty sure it's a pseudonym for some young teen working as intern at DC.
