The unfortunate reality is that Nightwing is in a holding pattern as the events of Forever Evil play out. The book is taking place sometime before the major crossover storyline and continues to move at a slow meaningless pace. Higgins has done a terrific job over the last two plus years making Dick Grayson, both hero and human, a likeable character. The problem now is that while the individual issue is fun and fast paced, the story arc appears inconsequential given what is likely to occur in Forever Evil over the coming months.
