Nightwing: On the Razor's Edge picks up where the previous trade paperback left off and collects eight issues (Nightwing #52, 54–60) of the 1996 on-going series.Half of the trade paperback has Dick Grayson as Nightwing taking on the usual suspects of his new Rouge Gallery. Roland Desmond as Blockbuster has hires many assassins to take Nightwing out once and for all. One particular assassin, Shrike takes center stage as he and Nightwing shared a past (Nightwing #54–58). Shrike knew Nightwing back...
I don't normally go for corny comic books or graphic novels, but there's something about Chuck Dixon's light touch with Nightwing that makes it fun without being too absurd or silly. It's corny but just enough. Think of him as Batman with a damn sense of humor.
It's always nice to see my old pal Dick Grayson. I haven't read Nightwing in a while so it was good to check back in. This was a pretty solid collection overall. I liked the Catwoman issue, even though it was irrelevant to the plot. I always like the cop stuff and it was nice to have the Birds of Prey get in on the action. I still hate Dudley though.For more (much, much more) on Dick Grayson, tune in to a special spotlight over on the All the Books Show: https://soundcloud.com/allthebooks/ep...
I've always been a big fan of Nightwing, and the Dick Grayson character in general, but this was my first time to read his solo stuff. I really liked it. The writing was great, and the style of the artwork was a good fit for the character as well. Even though it is volume 7, it was easy for a new reader to get into, because it starts with a brief history for each character that plays a part in this story.
Greg Land finishes his Nightwing run up with Shrike, a villain returning from Robin: Year One. The arc looks fantastic, Shrike is a cool villain, all in all a great story. Then Rick Leonardi and Mike Lilly step in as the fill in artists for a couple of one-off stories. Jesse Delperdang's inks make Rick Leonardi's typically sketchy art shine. Then Scott McDaniel returns to Nightwing for a story where Dick is framed by fellow police officers for the brutal beating of some kids. Trevor McCarthy com...
Loved issue #52 Modern Romance, which I'd already read in Nightwing Volume 6: To Serve and Protect. Still made me giggle. ((view spoiler)[when Catwoman kisses Dick and then she punches him when he calls her out for only wanting to make Batman jealous LOL! (hide spoiler)])I liked the conflict of Dick the police officer responding to a domestic violence call & being unable to do anything about it. You know he's just thinking to himself 'if I were in my costume I'd beat the living daylights out of
On the lesser side of 3 1/2 stars. I liked that this was a handful of shorter stories as opposed to one long one. I liked seeing Nightwing in a variety of different situations, and seeing how he reacted differently to different types of problems. Fast and enjoyable read.

Good reading Nightwing not at his top but near
Greg Land is, by far, my favorite of the artists to pencil Nightwing, and some of his best work of the series is in this volume.
(B+) 77% | GoodNotes: Wherein big names play bit parts, and its lead villain’s formidability lies in besting hitherto ineffectual henchpersons.
More great stories of Nightwing from the mind of Chuck Dixon.
I took another foray into DC Comics with Nightwing Vol 7: On the Razor's Edge. I've previously read the first three volumes so I knew a lot of the players from Bludhaven. This volume was, of course, a bit further in the timeline. It includes issues 52 and 54 through 60. Issue 52 is a little bit with Catwoman that seemed a bit more fluff than moving the story forward. The rest deal with the coming of Shrike, who knew Nightwing as Robin. Blockbuster auditions him by having him go against the villa...
There are a couple of good/memorable moments, but the story is beyond disjointed and rushed and the art is horrendous in some pages. There are panels where Dick's face loooks different that it did in the panel before!
Good volume. Lots of sinterlinking stories. Grayson finally gets to be a cop, and his relationship with Barbara deepens.
Pure fantasy. Fascinating detection. Great action. Lovable, realistic, dramatic characters. A fun, fucking afternoon read!
