Nightwing #126 may introduce some fantastic wrinkles into the overall fold of Watters' run on the character, but it struggles to leave an impact of its own as a standalone two-parter. Even with the improved art and stronger plotting, the issue still has me waiting for things to pick back up next month. Read Full Review

It isn't hard to see that Captain Hallow has a lot of potential as a villain. Considering the costume goes to the evidence locker after his appearances, it could exist as long as the revolving door of corruption and superstition subsists. To me, that's a cool concept. Unfortunately, this story couldn't nail a compelling story for the antagonists' motivation and loses steam in the end. However, someone else may write this character more carefully in the future. Lastly, Nightwing was barely in this story at all and the rabbit hole of corruption remains too unexplored for my liking. Read Full Review

I really like how Francesco Francavilla's art really works here. usually I like flashy bombastic art but the simplistic art really makes me engaged with the nitty gritty detective story

This is not a review of the art by FF.
This story can be described as by the numbers or phoning it on. Take your pick. And I really like Dan Watters work.

Misses the mark once again, just as with the previous storyline. The villain had potential, but the motivations and lack of character development worked against it. I love Francovilla’s art style on some other recent titles, but coming in the wake of Bruno Redondo, it’s not a good fit here.

I don't feel anything for this comic and this run.
