Nightwing 1: Leaping into the Light

Product Information

I haven't been interested in keeping up with DC lately, but this is one title that I'm glad I didn't miss out on. Not only that, this mysterious Anti-Oracle is taking advantage of Gotham City s state of fear and has bombarded the city with falsities, spreading even more fear. You’re a longtime fan who wants to see Dick Grayson treated right or a new reader who wants an excellent jumping on point. This long process of possible romance, stringing us along, is of course typical in comics and tc, and so on.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Depending on how long this storyline is going to be, so far this is a perfect jump-in for anyone wanting to read the solo adventures of Dick Grayson.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. I haven’t read Nightwing in years - apparently he recently suffered head trauma and thought he was someone else for a spell? Dick Grayson’s big heart has protected those persecuted by bullies in his youth, combated evil alongside Batman as Robin, and pledged his newly inherited wealth to enriching Blüdhaven as Nightwing. I've ignored Nightwing's solo book for more than a decade now, so I missed all the agent of Spyral and Ric Grayson stuff, but I thought I'd give the new Vol.

I read this because I am somewhat committed to reading a few/a lot of the Eisner 2022 nominees, and this is one I hadn’t yet read.And to top it all the mid-volume reveal that Mayor Zucco is actually Dick's half-sister actually worked for me. Dick is such a great guy and Tom Taylor, with the help of the fantastic art by Bruno Redondo, manages to make Dick's warmth personality jump out of the page. No matter the argument for how a story should be paced, Leaping into the Light is a captivating read for anyone interested in Nightwing as a character or for those who seek more than traditional fisticuffs in their superhero comic books. And, if you’ve read Taylor’s Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, you’ll know he can really bring the emotion when he wants, and he leans HARD on the feels for that closing chapter, in a way that even I was gagging from all the moving Dick moments had a lump in my throat. Blockbuster and Heartless do have their action scenes with Dick, but both lack a coherent mission beyond amassing power…or hearts.

Guess staring Barbara Gordon,Tim Drake, and Cameos or mention of the whole Bat family and a couple of others. And then there is the big reveal in the end of how Dick plans to use that money and the team up with Superman was awesome but the big thing is the art and omg its so good, some panels are so creative and this partnership reminds you of Snyder-Capullo days and here too its so well done and you really feel for the characters!

Taylor has written for DC Comics, Dark Horse Comics, IDW Publishing, Wildstorm, 2000 AD and Gestalt Comics.

Who is this terrifying new menace named Heartless and will he be able to resist plucking out the biggest heart in all of Bludhaven? This arc is about a man given an opportunity to fix a problem in a way he hasn’t tried before and figuring out how best to do it.It’s all once again top notch work that is a must read for any fan of Nightwing, or like in my case, if you’re trying to get into the character. The importance of Alfred’s death and his relationship to Dick is apparent right from the first issue where Dick learns he has inherited Alfred’s vast fortune. He is perhaps best known for the best-selling DC Comics series Injustice: Gods Among us, Earth 2, Batman/Superman, and his many Star Wars series. And in the end, we are supposed to be really moved when Dick gives a speech we hope our current spate of billionaires would listen to, as if they would give most of their money to healing the world (okay, a couple billionaires are in fact giving a ton of money to charity).
