3.5⭐️ an ok series for Nighwing but I miss the blue.
This was fine. Nightwing in Chicago (I guess Gotham was too crowded).
A really good comic book. I wonder what will happen with Tony Zucco. Who is Maxwell, the man that Michael was talking to? Was he the one that killed the other superheroes?
The Prankster is kind of a boring bad guy. I'm betting everyone guessed that he wasn't actually going to be a new caped crusader. I saw it a mile away. So you're asking why I gave it a four out of five stars? I had no idea that Tony Zucco, the guy that murdered Nightwing's parents, was going to turn out to be a good guy. At least mostly...I really enjoyed seeing his progress from murdering gangster to reformed-ish parent. I liked it.
Okay: Nightwing in Chicago is plausible, and the script passes muster. The two artists contribute about equally, and if I prefer Will Conrad to Brett Booth, you may feel otherwise.
In this book Nightwing discovers Tony Zucco is still alive.He follows his trial to Chicago.Its very fun and great drawing are good they are drawed by Teen Ttians drawer
I am not a fan of authors who take a main character and tear down everything around their ears. Anyone can destroy, but it takes a great author to create, and sadly, Kyle Higgins did not do the latter.
As part of Sidekicks week among the Shallow Comics Readers, I'm diving headlong into four volumes of Nightwing - the one, true sidekick of our warm and fuzzy pal The Batman.God I was getting worried this run of Nightwing was going to drown in its own darkness, get sucked under the surface by the drag of every Batman-is-a-sad-panda instinct that rules his damned universe. This is more like it - fast pace, interesting tensions, nothing is predictable about who knows who... Meaty non-cliched villai...
Also reviewed for Addicted2Heroines Fun Fact: Nightwing is in Chicago. Not Gotham, not Bludhaven...but Chicago.Which is very Marvel of him, don't you think?This didn't really start off that strong, but it picked up enough to be entertainingly decent by the end.So.Nightwing is in Chicago running down a tip, given to him by Red Robin, about the location of Tony Zucco.Zucco is the guy who killed his family, the acrobatic team The Flying Graysons.Drake had traced an email from Zucco to Chicago, bu...
Dull would probably be the word that comes to mind for this run. It's not horrible, or truly bad, or crappy, or ruining my childhood. It's just okay. And maybe in itself that's sad, seeing as Dick is one of the better characters in the DC Universe. This is just okay. So Dick is trying to fit into Chicago life. He even moves into a new place and gets a roommate, with ex-roommate almost killing him and potentially being a romance option down the line, because of course. Then this volume really foc...
An interesting move to take Dick Grayson out of Gotham and to Chicago, especially with Chicago being full of a citizenship tired of vigilantes. For what was an obvious setup for a revenge story this went some pretty creative directions. Writing and art continue to be great in this series!
Not only would i DIE for Dick Grayson but I would die for the graphics here too
I enjoyed reading this one. The story of Nightwing finding Tony Zuco in Chicago (the 2nd city) doesn’t go as once thought it would be. Things aren’t just black and white here and this is portrayed so well from both Dick’s and Tony’s viewpoint!
(B+) 76% | GoodNotes: Perfectly generic: it’s a good-enough, proficient, paint-by-numbers plot, marked by indistinction, advancing not a lot.
Nightwing relocates to from Gotham to Chicago in search of Tony Zucco, the man who killed his parents. But he gets more than he bargained for, when he must fact new villain the Prankster and a city up in arms against vigilantes.
Chicago can fuck off and die, but its nice to see Nightwing move out from under Batman's figurative shadow in Bludhaven.
After finding out that the killer of his parent "The Flying Graysons" Nightwing aka Dick Grayson heads out to Chicago to find Tony Zucco their killer.An action packed story that has a strong dialog and moves smoothly. As Nightwing breaks all the rules to find the killer of his parents, he ponders the age old question "does the end justify the means".Excellent characters, both hero and villains fill the story with an underlying theme of right and wrong.Nightwing Vol 4 "Second City" includes issue...
I liked the premise for this, but not the execution - there's a ton of new characters introduced and the story is too much for one volume. I think this highlights my main problem with this run: that the stories by themselves are fine, but they're just a bunch of stories pushed together. I really wish this had more for Dick as an overall theme, rather than just following him over a period of time.
I’m a huge fan of Chicago (as a former native) and Nightwing is one of my favorite characters to follow from the Bat family----which obviously helps in combining all the right ingredients to make up a fast-pace, exciting, crime-adventure-and amazing-art-because-grayson-can’t-be-drawn-any-other-way! I’m not going to lie, there’s a post in a forum about women Nightwing has kissed: I don’t mind asking to be added to that list. If Nightwing ever swooped in to save me---you can guarantee I would puck...
3.5*So far the best -- or rather best functioning -- installment in this run. It's fast-paced and focuses on the action which probably works best for Higgins's writing style.
