Nightwing #60

Another strong issue from the team, and I look forward to next month's. I have a few ideas as to who the fire monster is, or who they may be controlled by. I'll let you know if I'm right when it's revealed! Read Full Review

Chris Mooneyham is doing some amazing work on this title. He's one of the best artists that DC has in their arsenal. His storytelling is top notch and his figure drawing is exemplary. I look forward to more work for him. He takes the interesting script from Jurgens and really brings it home. Read Full Review

Sadly, Grayson is still on the backburner in NIGHTWING #60. While the artwork is amazing, focusing more on Team Nightwing and less on the O.G. Nightwing has left this comic fizzling out. Read Full Review

I've loved Nightwing since his first appearance almost 35 years ago, and I've been a huge Dick Grayson fan for at least a decade longer than that! I know that this new take on the character has left many fans bewildered, or even enraged. For me this era has been fascinating, entertaining and educational. I'm loving this series as much as I ever have, and, whatever he calls himself, Mr. Grayson remains one of the most admirable and inspirational heroes in all of comics. Nightwing #60 is another example of how to write and draw comics the right way. Read Full Review

Nightwing #60 fleshes out its new supporting cast, and blends police drama with dynamic action for another strong step forward in an ongoing saga for the character. Read Full Review

While he may not be the exact same masked hero, the outcome is the same. The main difference is an additional cast this book needed. And, with them comes a better understanding of the city they inhabit, and why it deserves to be fought for. Read Full Review

An interesting premise to help cement a new arc is certainly promising for the future; you've just got to hope it ends up delivering. Read Full Review

In the current age of nebulous trade-fillers and spectacles that barely tell the barest of plot lines, Jurgens manages to tell an actual comic book plot in a single issue, just like the good old days. Read Full Review

Despite the Team Nightwing gimmick starting to wear thin, there is some well-written character work in this issue. The creative team balance the cast well and do create some intrigue with what is essentially an uninspired villain, but this storyline needs to wrap up and this book is starting to feel like it needs a new direction. Read Full Review

Now, when it comes to his potential battle with Sapienza, this has a ton of promise. It could divide the group and lead to some serious down and dirty hand-to-hand fights. Ric will win, but it should still make for a wild ride. Read Full Review

Nightwing's new status quo continues to be interesting as we're getting new villains and diving into the backstories of our new heroes. The art really works for the story and even though we're not getting a lot of Ric Grayson here, I think it works better for this title right now and what it's trying to do. Read Full Review

ChrisMooneyhams art works for the book, much as it has on other titles. Maybe Imimagining things, but it has a distinctive style that is reminiscent of DenysCowan inked by Klaus Janson. Not a bad mix, but its only a matter of time whenhe cultivates his own style, if he hasnt already and Im projecting my owninterpretations. Read Full Review

Dan Jurgens has been writing DC comics for close to thirty years now, and in that time he's rarely written a bad comic. The current "Ric Grayson" status quo seems determined to test that, but he's still managed to elevate this title above the dumpster fire it's become, at least in Nightwing #60. Read Full Review

There's nothing new here. Ric Grayson is" Ric Grayson. At this point, you have creative teams inside and outside of DC taking jabs at how awful this entire concept is, so you would think that DC would just move on" Unfortunately, they're not, and we have to continue enduring this generic slum of mediocrity that often dips down into the low levels of bad. But hey, at least we have Nightwing Prime and Nightwing Red now" Read Full Review

It's a really wordy, really awkward issue full of exposition and flashback that even a promising open and a cliffhanger that has some potential can't overcome. Read Full Review

Good issue. We get more background for the Nightwings& see the team working together against a flame monster, of which we don’t know yet where he/ she is coming from. The story is told from Ric‘s point of view& from Nightwing Prime‘s point of view, which is how Ric is calling Sapienza. I also liked Rics& Bea‘s interaction with each other& I hope we will get more background infos about her character as well at some point. Sapienza is also investigating the case further& guess the case will be solved next issue. I liked the interaction between the characters& they were all well written. Jurgens is doing a great job just like Lobdell did with the story. Overall I hope this Ric story is lasting a little longer, because Nightwing is qu ite fun since #50. I also love Mooneyham‘s art, it reminds me a lot of the 90ies& hopefully he stays as well. more

As far as this run goes, at least we are getting to know the other characters a bit... even though it still isn't enough. This issue isn't bad, but it isn't what I want.

Nice to get some background on one of the Nightwing's. Art looks alright. The reasoning felt why she is mad, I get it is out of anger but like really? Seems a bit of a stretch for me. I will admit, enjoying seeing Bea more and more.

THE GOOD: -I'll be honest, I didn't hate this issue. -Could it be? Is the art… growing on me? -Honestly Detective Sapienza is alright here. I'd gladly take his narration over *shudder* Ric's. -I think Hutch is a great character. -I'll be honest, the end has me interested. THE BAD: -Man the dialogue is so cringe-inducing here, especially at the beginning. -This big bad really doesn't interest me at all. -Bea is and always has been awful. -The first page is so awful. Thankfully the art is alright, so it doesn't look so bad visually.

hopefully Nightwing can go back to being Nightwing again.

ohhaimark - May 23, 2019

That would be excellent! I'm holding out hope for a back to basics relaunch with a solid creative team sometime soon.

Darkseid24 - May 23, 2019

Nah it can stay like this for a while. Nightwing wasn’t that great before 50

myconius - May 23, 2019

i'm hoping Nightwing will get back to his glory days like when Chuck Dixon was writing him. now THAT was an awesome run!

Darkseid24 - May 23, 2019

True, but so was Nightwing Vol 2 back then. But honestly my estimations are lower these days. Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to enjoy any modern story.

Still not a fan. Let's wrap this up and give this title to a good writer?

Jurgens is a great Writer. He wrote Hunter/ Prey after all.

Psycamorean - May 17, 2019

Well, he's not a great writer here.

Darkseid24 - May 17, 2019

Not great, but it’s good. I like it. Nowadays most things aren’t great

Psycamorean - May 17, 2019

I disagree. Honestly, there's a good amount of titles that I look forward to. Not many of them are DC, though.

Darkseid24 - May 17, 2019

Guess we have to agree to disagree here. I have some DC titles I’m looking forward to like the Last Knight in Earth sounds promising, not sure about Year of Villains though.

Psycamorean - May 17, 2019

I was counting current titles, not titles that may or may not be good.

Darkseid24 - May 18, 2019

Then I think the there are many: Batman Who Laughs, Dceased, Doomsday Clock, Detective Comics, Batman& the Outsiders, Nightwing, JL, Red Hood,

Psycamorean - May 18, 2019

Batman Who Laughs lost me with the latest issue. DCeased is good. Doomsday Clock has been all over the place in terms of my enjoyment. Detective Comics is good. Batman & the Outsiders is pretty good, but it just started so who knows where it'll go. The rest I'm not a fan of.

Darkseid24 - May 18, 2019

I think Batman Who Laughs is doing a better job with deconstructing Batmans character. He seems quite lost there. I like it so far. Doomsday Clock can still turn out pretty bad, especially because HIC rumored to be connected. And you are right with Batman & the Outsiders.

At best it's just dull, at worst it's a shame what this comic has become post-Tim Seeley.

I can review this in 2 words: It Sucks. There is nothing of value present in this title and it is far from compelling enough to generate any interest in any upcoming issues. One-note characters remain one-note, but now they have code-names. Such compelling character development! /facepalm #1 nightwing “Prime” questions the involvement of ric while simultaneously stating he has the instinct, skills, and know-how to do what they are TRYING to do, better even, because he’s suspicious. I thought he was supposed to be a good detective? You’d think he would have been able to figure out at least some idea of who ric is supposed to be. /facepalm #2 His involvement in the encounter the issue starts on is negligible, he shows up and says words then is relegated to assisting the target while offering nothing of value. Still presumes he’s the one to make the big calls once it’s all done. /facepalm #3 Claims they need to “bring in the others” which nightwing “Red” claims is a bold move; might be me but adding two more people who are woefully in over their heads into a situation will hardly do anything to resolve it. In fact just reading the issue I am proven right on this point as they show up to ineffectually gather information and are swiftly taken out before managing to do a single thing. The title might improve once the “generics” become real characters, but as it stands there’s little to even see here and a long way to go before they reach this point. “ric” has improved in so far as he’s no longer whining about wanting a “normal life” while rushing headlong into the very “superhero crap” he spoke out against. But he still remains a figment of a shade of his former self. He’s moved from decisively unlikeable to completely forgettable and not even worth remembering. The story itself is pretty standard fare, nothing noteworthy at all to mention about it or recall. Does little to build interest in continuing to follow the title, which is more than what the first arc of “ric” did was cause generate dread that it was indeed continuing. The end suggests that somehow the mentor character will play a part in the fire monster’s attacks, be related to the same, or just be someone with a bone to pick with the police. None of these options would really provide a compelling story since the “characters” it is meant to flesh out don’t have much to work with. more

I hate what they're doing to Nightwing. I don't care about these vigilante cops I want to see DICK GRAYSON not "RIC". The story was alright, the art was decent. I am a huge Nightwing fan and to see all these other people have his suits is driving me crazy. Change isn't always good (shouts at DC)

This has been the stupidest story arc from the beginning and it's not getting any better. A handful of cops find Nightwings old suits and think that makes them qualified to be superheroes??? Really???? And how is it these days everyone seems to be able to swing around on roof tops? I'm sorry but I'm pretty sure if that was possible that there would still have to be some training on that. When is this story going to end??? These characters are not even remotely interesting. They even look like people just playing dress up and not like heroes at all. Plus wouldn't a team of unknown people going around in Dick/Ric's uniforms and using Batman made gear get Batman's attention? I hope Dick/Ric gets his memory back soon because this comic is reall y lame right now and I'm thinking of stopping buying it till it's back to being just Nightwing/Dick/Ric only. The only good thing to come out of it is his calling himself Ric. Never was fond of the name Dick. Hopefully they will keep Ric as his name and dump all the rest of this crap soon. After all I'm sure I'm not alone in saying the reason we buy this comic is to read stories about Nightwing/Dick/Ric. more
