With each passing issue Dan Watters is getting more comfortable writing Nightwing in the DC All In status quo. Read Full Review
Dexter Soy is back on the art, with the usual glitches in light, shadow relationships, big empty rooms, simplified background characters, and poor scaling. However, the purple blob monster is a freaky illustration, and features another cool Zanni illustration. In terms of story, this issue does a decent job setting the stage for the next arc, albeit with a few all too familiar tropes. Namely, fridging a character before they reveal a big secret. Building suspense for Olivia's eventual face reveal is fine, but these things rarely live up to the hype. Especially when her character didn't need another twist, unless she actually turns out to be Paula Von Gunther! All in all, #127 is perfectly fine to read, and could lead to some improvements in the story. Read Full Review
A lot and nothing happened at the same time?
This issue was an improvement over the previous 2 arcs since Watters took over. It was nice to see the Babs-Dick relationship get some airtime for a change, and the mystery with Dick’s sister is also interesting, along with the abandoned Titans Tower thread. I’m not a fan of the fifth-dimensional characters typically, but so far Samnee has made it interesting.
5 dollars is a very expensive price for this comic.
