Overall this issue was really one of the best yet in this arc, with the art still being really good. My only complaint is Seeley trying to make Dick in a couple, with anyone other than Barbara Gordon as it just feels right. The last page is a tease for the next arc and if it is what I think it is, I’m really excited. Read Full Review

After the way the previous issue ended, writer Tim Seeley wasted the opportunity to conclude this arc with a darker ending. The main message Seeley set out to send is still poignant and clearly articulated in NIGHTWING #14. Read Full Review

A strong wrap up issue of a good arc. Read Full Review

The slowness of previous issues is redeemed in full here. There's plenty of action to spare, and humor infused dialogue to keep things from getting too dark. Seeley sets up the potential for fun things down the line, including more of Bludhaven's colorful residence. To's pencils are sharp and fluid, his action scenes are a treat to behold. They have been consistently wonderful this entire arc, and they don't let up here. Combined with Sotomayor's rich colors, this book's art distinguishes it from the dark grittiness of the other bat titles. Read Full Review

Seeley and To wrap up their first arc in Bldhaven with enough spark to make you want more. It may be a bit stuffy and slow, but it's got some great narrative and character ideas at work throughout. Read Full Review

In the end, this arc was decent, but never really reached that next level. That's a credit to the stellar job Seeley has done on the title. The next arc already looks promising with the reveal of Nightwing's surprising next adversary ready to reclaim his turf. Read Full Review

It's still a solid and unreasonably pretty book " Marcus To again delivers an excellent mix of costumed splash pages and well-realized character work " it's just lacking in the same excitement and punch we expect. Read Full Review

I like the look of everything where this book might be going. A new, simple romance? Sounds awesome! A job mentoring former crazy Gotham criminals? Sounds cool! General Nightwinging around? Also good! Seeley has built himself a solid new status quo for Nightwing and I hope he really digs in deep with the sorts of stories he can tell! Read Full Review

Nightwing's return to Bldhaven has been a confident slow-burn, an example of solid storytelling told at a deliberate pace. It isn't flashy or fast, it's just good old fashioned character-focused storytelling, taking the time to explore ideas and themes that other books or creators may gloss over. The cast is great, the art is beautiful, and the title character is regaining the confidence that he's had all along. Read Full Review

Nightwing #14 successfully closes out the Bludhaven arc by fully establishing the life Dick Grayson will have in his new home. Tim Seeley was able to give a voice to the various characters he introduced into Dick Grayson's life that makes Bludhaven feel like it is more than just another one of Nightwing's stops. The ending with a mysterious red Nightwing showing up offers up a lot of potential for were Seeley can take the story next. If you are a Nightwing fan and haven't given the series a try this Bludhaven arc is a good place to start with one of DC Comics best ongoing comic books. Read Full Review

Not sure where I come down on Dick and Shawn being together, it's a wait and see how it plays out situation. The conclusion to the arc is mixed. Dick's personal growth was right on target, but the resolution to the mystery was a bit flimsy. However, Dick has been properly reintroduced to Bldhaven and it gives Dick his own town to cover as opposed to being just another Batman. It worked 20 years ago and it seems like it will work again.

We get the conclusion to the Bludhaven arc with this issue and I have to say that for all the buildup we got, this came off really forced and not very interesting by the end.  Yeah, there's some decent moments and we got a pretty cool cliffhanger with excellent art the whole way through, but ultimately it was a bit disappointed.   Read Full Review

As much as I've been enjoying this story arc, I'm happy that it's finished. A lot of the story seemed cliché, and I knew who the villain was ages ago so there weren't any big surprises, until that cliffhanger! I can't wait to see how the next arc goes. As for the art I still don't find it to be anything special, very hit or miss. The panels with Nightwing look good, but as soon as he's in civilian clothes the art is just boring. Read Full Review

Great wrap up to this arc. This book leaves us with an interesting cliffhanger that I assume will be explored in the next issue.

The finale was a bit messy, with the resolution being too quickly wrapped up, but I still have been enjoying Time Seeley's run. I am interested in seeing what else will be done in Bludhaven over the next few arcs.

Wrapped things up and left us with a cool cliffhanger. The art in this book is awesome, glad I got into this book.

Disappointing villain. Shawn is a nice addition though

SCORE: 6.1

Poor excuse for Bludhaven. Don't like the supporting characters.
