An adrenaline rush of an issue, Nightwing #120 is this new creative team hitting a massive home run. The pacing, action, dialogue and artwork are all exquisite. The only downside is the month wait following that tantalising cliffhanger. Read Full Review

Nightwing hasn't had any transition hurdles with the new creative team and this issue is a strong reminder that the old guard might have left, but the title isn't ready to depart the list of DC's top books just yet. Read Full Review

Nightwing #120 is another great addition to the run. Fresh story, fresh villains, real consequences. What more could you want?! Read Full Review

Nightwing #120 is a great second issue from this creative team. Taylor and Redondo are a hard act to follow, but so far so good. Nightwing remains one of DC's best books, and Watters and Soy may be going a bit above their predecessors in the action department. Definitely check out Nightwing! Read Full Review

The visuals are great, the pace is fast, but it doesn't seem to have as full a cast as Taylor had previously built mostly focusing on Dick with a brief cameo from Barbara. But this does work to show us exactly where his mind is right now and how our mystery villain is going to push that to its limit. Read Full Review

Nightwing #120 is a high-octane chapter that thrives on its compelling narrative, dynamic art, and meticulous attention to tone and emotion. Its a testament to a creative team firing on all cylinders. They deliver a story that not only entertains but resonates on a deeper level. A must-pull for fans of Nightwing and grounded superhero stories. Read Full Review

Nightwing #120ups the ante when Spheric Solutions tricks Nightwing into making a devastating mistake. Dan Watters's plot bristles with action, drama, and high intrigue, and Dexter Soy's artwork is stellar.9/10 Read Full Review

Bludhaven is a city with a massive hole left to fill in the wake of Nightwing defeating Blockbuster and Heartless. How that has made room for a greater, more complicated threat that creates a challenge for Nightwing on multiple fronts. Read Full Review

Overall, things still aren't so bad, but I have growing concerns. Firstly, readers have seen this kind of story play out far too many times for this to avoid being generic. What's worse is that similar stories like Fear State and John Ridley's I Am Batman didn't take place so long ago. Hell, we just had Task Force 11 running the entire country in Absolute Power. Secondly, the artwork is inconsistent in quality. When its good, we get slick silhouettes of a male specimen soaring through the air in a skintight bodysuit. When its bad, we get bland designs, choppy line art, odd face renders, and whatever happened with the Teddies this chapter. Narratively, I'm reserving judgement on the mysterious player, but Olivia Pearce is such a blatant “bad guy” that readers must suspend disbelief in wondering why no one on the page is calling her out yet.

Though several pieces of Nightwing #120 are nicely handled, the deployment of lazy stereotypes, cheap emotional manipulation, and oversimplified narrative structure brings it down. Dexter Soy's artwork continues to provide a strong appeal, however. Read Full Review

Inferior to the previous one, but still good. It's good to see Nightwing having some personality.

Good issue, but I feel like we’ve seen many of the story elements done before, both in this book and Tynian’s Batman run. Time will tell if this story exceeds its trappings or not.

Dexter Soy's art is fantastic but the story is just very basic with over the top villains.

Very generic so far and kind of boring. Not sure where the Dan Watters that wrote Lucifer, 6 fingers and the detective comics back ups. Will keep reading for a few more issues.
