(Received from Netgalley for review)After reading both volumes of Grayson, I'd venture to say that the one problem with this book is, in actual point of fact, the title character. Because if you can ignore that this is meant to be Dick Grayson, formerly Robin and Nightwing, and treat him as an entirely new character, then this is a decent spy book. Making the main character Dick just brings in a whole host of issues, including that Dick just isn't suited to be an undercover spy who will be expec...
So far the two volumes have reached a conclusion of sorts. Spyral's mission is revealed and a main characted is killed to simplify matters a bit. A new mystery is introduced, though. This comic is a good choice for anyone who likes James Bond-like spy games and great artwork.The story starts explosively with Grayson, Midnighter and Matron as they deliver a baby in a helicopter that is going down after being hit by an EMP. The baby survives, but the mother does not. The three of them must now wal...
I liked issue 5 and 8, but fuck issue 6 and 7. Okay to break it down Grayson is getting deeper into Spryal. I have a feeling that if you enjoy spy movies or books you'll enjoy this more. Basically the big bad, isn't really the big bad, and the huge reveal at the end is suppose to be "OMG" but honestly none of this interest me. The only reason i read this still is because of Grayson. Dick has the ability to make you super intrigued. And for the women, he got a ass you'll die for. But for me it's
I have so much love for this volume of Grayson. I was a bit neutral on the first volume but I've really warmed up to the storyline and have gotten totally into it. I think I just needed a little time to adjust my mindset to this new take on the character. The story is exciting and fun. I didn't even put it down, I just read it straight through. Volume 2 reprints GRAYSON #5-9, and GRAYSON ANNUAL #1. The title of this volume is We All Die At Dawn, and pays homage to the classic Batman story Robin
Am I missing how Dick, Helena & Midnighter ended up in the desert together? I guess for the sake of the story it doesn't matter?...they were all chasing the heart and end up in a dry pickle?I love this series & I'm really enjoying myself. I especially liked the brain chase to Tel Aviv & the Irish stories. I like the idea of Dick still being pure of heart, and like it even more when he's playing spy (for reals).Totally have no idea what's happening with Spiral & Mr. Minos. The ending was more of
Well that was...underwhelming.When you title a series Grayson, and most of the hype around said series revolves around the presence of said Grayson, one would expect this Grayson to actually be in his own book. Instead, we're lucky enough to receive glimpses of Agent 37 as he occasionally pops up to grace the pages just when you're starting to lose interest in the threadbare story.Now you see me, now you don't...Some of my disinterest probably comes from the fact that I haven't read the first vo...
The story seems to be getting a little side tracked from the premise stated in the first book. That being said, it was still a good story, and I'm anxious to see where it goes from here.
I love so many quotes in this volume – I honestly couldn't decide which to put at the start of this review, so here are all of my favorites:"...But I'd know that ass anywhere. Grayson.""You know Nightwing's moves. Do you know Robin's? You can do jazz. How are you at punk rock?"The flying Grayson. Nightwing. Robin. They were about more than fight moves. They were about inspiration. Comfort. Trust. Family. I gave that up to become a spy. A spider man. A tsuchigumo. I have changed. But I'll always
I feel like the first issue in this volume picks up in the middle of a story that was in volume 1, because it kept referencing stuff that I had no idea about. Maybe the first volume should have been the first 5 issues instead. The book works best when they tell stand alone stories like the one that takes place in Ireland. I'm assuming that's the story from the Annual. The overall backstory is REALLY confusing, like what's going on with Mr. Minos. It has the potential to be great if they can stre...
The first New52 comic to actually hook me! Because Batgirl had heart and Powergirl and Harley Quinn is fun, but Grayson has some real long-term plotting. I never expected that another agent was shadowing Dick on his missions. Even if he escapes the Spyral organization, the killer may follow him home. I'm legitimately interested to figure out who it is and see how he and Bertenelli try to resolve it.The short stories in this volume all top the first volume, too. The first is an abrupt standalone
I loved this volume more than the first! The desert story was my favourite. It shows us what an inherently great man Dick Grayson is. The story is weaving itself into a bigger plot line and it's very captivating. The artwork is beautiful as usual.
So bizarre and pointless.
Jim Grayson. Juan Grayson. Heh. (Read issue #8, you'll understand.)We start out where volume 1 left off -- the hunt for the Paragon Protocol, the metahuman biological organs that grant normal humans supernatural abilities. But (Wildstorm Comic's) Midnighter wants them off the market to save the world. Eventually we see EXACTLY what Mr. Minos, director of Spyral, is up to. And that maybe he's not even who he thinks he is.Collects GRAYSON #5-8 and GRAYSON ANNUAL #1.
Nightwing yes...Grayson..hell no. I cannot get into this whole spy vs spy thing.
wtf am I even reading??? Is that ... supposed to be a euphemism? Ah, my favorite, writing dialogue with an accent.
This is the thing I don’t like about spy movies. The writers feel like they have to put so much in the story, without enough explanation, and it all gets confusing. Or maybe I’m just dumb. But then you add all the conspiracies and the intrigue and it’s that much more complicated. First, there’s all the organizations. (That aren’t really explained.)A.R.G.U.S. SpiralStormwatchThe AWOLThe Fist of CainCheckmateAnd all the other science fiction stuff that you’re not even sure how it fits in the story...
Tom King does not disappoint..Love Robin as Grayson what can I say....lol
I LOVED Agents of Spyral, so I was super excited to get my hands on We All Die At Dawn. But midway through the second issue, I knew this volume just wasn't for me. As I was reading, it felt like chunks of the story were missing. Important chunks. But I kept on reading, because I thought maybe it would all come together in the end.As I guess it sort of did, but the conclusion was (I thought) extremely unsatisfying. Along with (what felt like) missing info, it also seemed like the issues would ju...
Dick's thighs save lives!3 stars.I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first one. It's complicated to rate because I really, really, REALLY loved the first issue but it kind of went downhill from there. What attracted me to the first one was Dick's characterization. Sure, most of my review was drooling over how gorgeous the art was but when I felt like the story was all plot and not a lot of Dick's feelings on everything, it waned for me. I read this books for Dick Grayson and this one seemed l...
