BONUS REVIEW by JOHN ELLE
After about two years or so, us "wingnuts" get Dick Grayson back in the role he was born to play. With the relaunch sowing confusion into "What has stayed" and "What's changed", it's covered fairly early on.
The first issue begins quickly and throws us right into the action. The writing is fairly decent, and Dick's ties to his past come front and center early on. The art is also top notch, however loses a few points with the new/updated costume (sorry folks. Yes I understand the Red is a nod to his time as Robin, but the good ol' Black & Blue fit the character much better)
We're quickly brought up to speed with Dick's time as The Batman and his new base of operations.
Long story short, Solid Issue, good pacing and decent art. Welcome back Nightwing. We've missed you.
