With the dying of Brendan “Giz” Li and his breakup with Shawn Tsang, Dick Grayson aka Nightwing is having to deal with a variety of ache in his life. Including to his issues is the return of the Huntress, Dick’s outdated companion from Spyral. She claims to have some leads on Giz’s assassin, a hitman named Dracul. The 2 go onto the path of this hitman, which leads them to Italy.
In the meantime, Shawn and her outdated costumed compatriot, the Pigeon, are contemplating a return to their costumed identities — and perhaps even just a little thievery.
It is a well-rounded concern that handles its personal pacing masterfully. There are a variety of heavy character moments, however the again half nonetheless presents a variety of good motion sequences and enjoyable.
Regarding the “steamy attractive bare scene,” it felt extra comical than something. It appears just a little bizarre that Dick went out into his house to struggle off an unknown assailant along with his Nightwing costume as a makeshift garrote. That looks like a great way to lose his secret identification. That tiny towel should have been superglued to his hips, although.
Huntress (Helena Bertinelli and Helena Wayne; I like them each) has at all times been one in all my favourite DC heroes, so it’s good to see visitor star in Nightwing and providing some closure to the Spyral storyline. I additionally actually dig the brand new duds. There may be some smug combined in along with her aggression that makes her a very enjoyable foil to Nightwing’s typically upbeat demeanor, even when he’s in a darkish place on this guide.
The developments that Shawn Tsang goes by way of appear fascinating.
Nightwing having to deal with the anger that he’s simply as able to carrying as his extra brooding comrades is an intriguing flip for the Flying Grayson, too. He is at all times been one of many extra upbeat and high-flying DC heroes, which is why I really like him. Nevertheless, if he had been simply that, he would not be a really deep character. As such, it is good seeing him have to deal with the potential that he has a darkish and egocentric aspect, too.
Javier Fernandez‘s artwork is nice. He skillfully depicts motion scenes and slower moments. The figures look nice, characters are expressive, and the fight is impactful. The colour artwork of Chris Sotomayor‘s shade artwork is balanced rather well, and the 2 make a terrific inventive crew.
It is a nice entry into the saga of Nightwing. It has motion, character, and a unbelievable guest-star in Huntress to steadiness out Nightwing himself. This one undoubtedly earns its suggestion.
