The spy stands alone. Grayson must go rogue from all his former allies, find the truth within the web of lies, and take down Spyral once and for all.
GRAYSON #19 is a definite must-read for hardcore fans of the series since it ties a knot on some long running story arcs before Dick returns to his Nightwing identity. Causal fans may have a harder time getting into the issue, and I would definitely recommend they brush up on past events before reading. Read Full Review
Revelations abound in this issue as Maxwell Lord lets the cat out of the bag and Dick learns the shocking truth regarding one of his closest allies. It all looks to come to a head in next month's concluding issue, which I can only assume is the ending King and Seeley originally ended. Read Full Review
This issue is the penultimate chapter of Dick Grayson, International Spy. But, it fits seamlessly into the overall depiction of the development of Dick Grayson the Man. Read Full Review
Grayson #19 is a proper penultimate issue for the arc with an engaging stride and solid story structure. Read Full Review
The narrative acrobatics may eventually culminate in a stuck landing, but as of now this book is swinging without a net. Read Full Review
If mad scientists, world domination, and dramatic double-crosses are your thing, you could do worse than go down the path Grayson is grossing now. It may not be as phenomenal as it has been in the past, but it's still enjoyable, so appreciate the title and its stalwart hero for what it is instead of wallowing in what it was. Even with its flaws, there's still plenty to like here. Read Full Review
Lanzing and Kelly were called on to end this series and get it to Rebirth and while they will certainly get that job done, I can't say it will be in style. People are always saying to enjoy the journey, but I just want this to end. Better yet, could we rewind and have Seeley, King and Janin end it months ago. This issue is a confusing mess that I can't recommend to anyone and is starting to make the Nightwing fans that have been yelling at me look very smart. They aren't smart...they just look like it right now. Read Full Review
This book has been all over the place since the shakeup on creative teams leading into Rebirth, and i just don’t really know if people know how to fill the shoes left behind in most of these books (or probably all of them). This issue sees a lot of what this story has built up towards start to unravel, or just seeing the spiral tighten (i don’t know the correct metaphor for this coco banana bonkers stuff that is happening right now) but i did like the panel that was a pretty direct homage to the Dark Knight Returns silouhette cover, though this one is punctuated with a bit of BDSM where Dick shouts “i like being tied up!” The Maxwell Lord and Checkmate stuff only seemed to confuse me in this issue, because i felt like everyone was a more
Nope, not as good as King/Seeley/Janin, but few comics are. It's still true to the Spyral plot and I suspect the writers are working off King's notes. I actually think for pinch hitting Lanzing and Kelly do a pretty great job, I also thought that they were some of the best voices for Batman & Robin Eternal, so I hope Rebirth gives them something to do that isn't tied to other people's plots.
I didn't think it was that bad, the action is still solid, the characters are on point. It feels a bit rushed, which is annoying, but overall, I'm excited to see the conclusion.
Best Lanzig and Kelly issue so far. Looking forward to the conclusion. Would have rated higher but the art is pedestrian at best.
After Tom King and Mikel Janin left this book, DC essentially torpedoed this series. This title showed that you can change the status quo and create an excellent story. Even skeptical fans that hated the idea of not having Dick as Nightwing eventually jumped on board. Now it's barely resembling the issues I was reading a few months earlier. Having grown used to Janin's amazing pencils, the new art is very jarring. And the story feels so disconnected from all the buildup from previous issues that I sometimes feel lost with the incoherent plot. I dunno, I get this series is ending but the fact that it started with a bang and is ending with a whimper is very disappointing.
this series started so good but now it just kinda sucks! . . . it just goes to show what you get for being a loyal fan of any DC series. . . . they make promises of giving you quality stories, and then they kick you right in the ass!!! . . . this isn't a bad issue, but it's far from great. . . . . . another reason i am greatly disappointed is the pointless 'ROBIN WAR'!!! it served NO purpose but to sell more issues! ... at the very end of Robin War it specifically said "continued in the pages of 'Grayson'. . . . . WHERE??? there's been NO mention of the Robin War OR the court of owls! not that i really mind as Robin War was garbage and the court of owls is overrated. (see how the Owls are treated in Batman #51 or Endgame) . . . but why was more
Not entirely bad but so much wasted potential
