2.5 Stars.Still leaving plotlines unresolved from the previous Volume, Dick Grayson (now Ric Grayson) is recovering from his head shot by KGBeast (See Batman Vol 8 Review) and is living his life in Bludhaven. He feels like a completely new person, and as a sign of that, he sets fire to his 'Nightwing Cave', destroying all but his suits. He wants to leave the past behind, but his body and mind keep revealing skills he has forgotten he had.As Scarecrow (who is also Ric's therapist, unbeknownst to
Not a big fan of the artwork or storyline. Not sure why they decided to take Nightwing in this direction.
I just don’t know if this book worked for me. Multiple artists, multiple writers. I really liked Percy’s direction and the switch to Lobdell is a rough transition. In a shocking development, Nightwing has lost his memories and no longer wants the Nightwing persona. However, the handling of the situation is sloppy at best and not my favorite.
Holy Smokes Batman! Do you smell that? Is that...is that dog shit? Oh no, it's Nightwing "K"NIGHT terrors (Fuck you). I though the last volume was awful, but this is REALLY bad. This might be...no...I take that back. THIS is the WORST Nightwing comic I ever read. Dick-- I mean RIC. Oh yeah guys, didn't you hear? Dick is now Ric because...well I don't really know. Oh no, not Rick. That be semi-fucking-normal. But Ric. Just Ric. I don't even know anyone named fucking Ric. Anyway Ric has lost his m...
Broody, angsty garbage.
If you can’t say something nice.....The variant covers were lovely. Benjamin Percy only wrote one issue in this volume.
I have been struggling with the Nightwing titles for a while now and I think that I can safely say that I am done reading them. I am willing to admit that Nightwing, like Harley Quinn, is better on a team and I have to stop reading the solo titles.
I’m honestly being generous giving this book 2 stars. I wanted to read about Dick Grayson- Nightwing- not some angsty amnesic cab driver. I don’t care about “Ric” Grayson and I definitely don’t care about some rogue police men or his relationship with a random bartender. I just- ugh. Bring Dick back, please.
When the KGBeast shoots Nightwing, massive brain damage resets his personality. But while the newly christened Ric Grayson may not want to be a superhero anymore, his body, and the Scarecrow, have other ideas.I actually don't mind the story here. It's a fresh start for Nightwing, but there's glimpses of the character we all know and love just below the surface, so seeing him deal with the new circumstances is pretty fun. The new team of Nightwings that array themselves around him are also surpri...
Wow, I finally got around to finishing this and it's still as bad as I remembered.World: The art is a bit all over the place with the tone jumping from serious to cartoony in a single issue. The world building is pretty choppy and illogical at the same time. I don't mind status quo changes, I know in the world of comic books, thing will get back to basics and the core eventually and a new writer playing with the characters and the world can be fun. That being said when you alter the core of the
I really don't like where the plot went with this volume. I feel like they wanted to make this amnesia plot much more than it should be – I understand that Dick could want to separate himself from people he didn't remember after such a trauma. But it has been said that he still remembers his childhood at the circus and this is where it stops adding up for me: why would he become this "bad boy" who squats in random people's houses if in this moment his whole personality is based on the happy memo...
"all these people who seem to care about me, don't really care about me... they care about Dick Grayson.- "Ric" GraysonTruer words have never been spoken. Bring him back.Dick Grayson once again goes through a near-death experience, once again in a completely different book and once again becomes a new person. Last time he faked his own death to become a secret agent, and it was awesome. This time, he gets shot in the head, gets a cool scar and now doesn't really remember who he was and he's fine...
This was...bizarre. The concept is really interesting. Grayson gets shot, doesn't remember anything, changes his life. Cool! But...then the rules break down. He doesn't remember a lot of his life? But he knows he was NightWing (he burns up his stuff), but then is shocked that he knows things like martial arts and acrobatics and just chalks that up to his circus time? Then the other people in his life kinda come and go with a 'We hope you get better...BYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEE' which would just never h...
There's so much I don't like about how DC handled this. First, they hired two Marvel retreads from the 90's in Scott Lobdell and Fabian Nicieza to write this. Then Nightwing gets shot in the head over in Batman and then it's all just glossed over here, at least get us up to speed in his own book. Time has passed and Dick is back to being healthy but he's lost all his memories from the moment he met Bruce Wayne. So he still remembers being Dick, yet he decides to be called Ric now. He's a bum who...
A couple of weeks ago I popped into Forbidden Planet to pick up the first issue of the new Loki series, and Nightwing #62 caught my eye. I’ve never ready any Nightwing before but I’ve wanted to start since his role in Batman: Court of Owls. I wasn’t expecting much and wasn’t aware of the current storyline at all. Little did I know this story was written for me. Why am I telling you this? Well, I’m getting there.Nightwing: Knight Terrors collects issues #50-56 of Nightwing and the story follows D...
I checked and I've not given any graphic novel/comic collection a one-star rating in fifty-six months. Meet Nightwing: Knight Terrors, the book that broke the streak and might just be the worst mainstream comic collection I've ever read.This book completely derails the unresolved plotline from the previous volume in favor for some good old fashioned editorially mandated tripe. Dick Grayson, for 77 years, one of the DC Universe's most beloved heroes becomes Ric Grayson, moody navel-gazing cab dri...
I went into this with some major bias. Several customers in our store have dropped Nightwing during this season, and given me a variety of very solid reasons why they didn't like the series. But with a couple of exceptions, most of the people who complained hate change.I like change. Dick Grayson's graduation from Robin to Nightwing, allowing for younger Robins to enter the picture was handled well. Nightwing's ascension to Batman was the best part of the post RIP Batman, particularly his relati...
DC doesn't quite know what to do with Nightwing, so far in Rebirth they wiped out all his history in Bludhave and had him start at the beginning. In the New 52, they turned him into a spy and before that he was Batman. The last one worked but only when Morrison was writing it. He's been around since 1940, you'd think DC would know what to do with him by now! In this adventure he's now Ric Grayson, after being shot in the head and losing a chunk of his memory. Out of all his retcons this makes th...
Read as single issues. Regretted just about every moment of it.
Nightwing: Knight Terrors picks up where the previous volume left off, collecting the next seven issues (Nightwing #50–56) of the 2016 on-going series and collects one story line: "Knight Terrors"."Knight Terrors" is a seven-issue storyline (Nightwing #50–56), which follows the repercussions of Dick Grayson, now called Ric Grayson, being shot in the head (Batman #55). Having selected amnesia, Grayson gave up the mantle of Nightwing. Meanwhile, Alphonse Sapienza, a detective, found Nightwing base...
