Sail the high seas with Nightwing and Batgirl as they journey across the ocean in search of the Hold’s secret society that dates back to when Blüdhaven was founded. We saw previously in Nightwing #99 that the Hold’s vault held several safes…and here we’ll find out there has always been one left for Nightwing.
Tom Taylor just broke my brain with this one. At one point I audibly screamed: "You're a liar! As someone who truly believed the Nightwing series should have completely reset with the current run, I am both stunned and excited to see Taylor explore more elements from the Dan Jurgens era.

I had no clue where this series was going to go once it returned from a Knight Terrors hiatus, but I can tell you I did not expect thisa call-back to one of the most divisive Nightwing runs of all time, the "Ric Grayson era where a brain-damaged, amnesiac Nightwing worked as a taxi driver while estranged from the Bat-family.

Nightwing is one of the best comics being made today. The creative talent it attracts, the stories it tells, and the artwork it showcases are amongst the best you'll see anywhere. Read Full Review
As a new entry to the series, this issue is fresh and another fun adventure for Nightwing. Fans of the series will be glad to see a change in story to keep the overall pacing fresh. For me personally, pirates can be a fun spin to a character and having a pirate themed side quest for Nightwing is such a cool idea. Be sure to pick up this issueespecially since it releases on the fitting, Talk Like a Pirate Day. Read Full Review
Nightwing #106 accomplishes many things. It contains the best story angle for the Ric Grayson saga with how it leads into a greater pirate adventure. The bigger storyline involving Heartless and Tony Zucco is progressed. And we get the best Batgirls story in over a year. Combining all that together Nightwing #106 does everything to get fans excited for what comes next. Read Full Review
Taylor heads back to the days of Nightwing's previous creative team with this new arc, bringing characters and lingering plot threads from then and pushing them into the spotlight here. It's a risk brining much of that stuff back given how stale it ran, but let's see what this new team can with it. Read Full Review

Nightwing returns after hiatus without skipping a beat. New story seems fun and adventurous, and this issue kicks it off with the usual style and energy. Read Full Review
Nightwing #106 is a great start to a new story arc with a balanced approach between plot and character. This issue continues to prove why this comic continues to be one of DC's best. Hopefully, this will be the start of an uninterrupted run of tales. As Dick says in this issue, "We've had a lot going on. But, it's finally time to askWhat's in the box? Read Full Review
An intriguing start to the latest arc of Nightwing. Taylor appears to be taking the series in an interesting new direction following previous, more grounded stories. Ever unpredictable, I'm interested to see where this goes next. Read Full Review
Overall, Nightwing #106 isn't an awful issue. Plus, it's hard to regain momentum after stopping dead in our tracks for Knight Terrors. Nevertheless, there simply appears to be very little substance this week as Taylor appears to be reaching for a killer plot thread that just needs more. Read Full Review
Nightwing is a decent book. Taylor and Stephen Byrne make a good team that tells filled stories with clean, readable illustrations. The mystery of the Hold and its preternatural atmosphere gives Nightwing a unique witchy, Salem-like tone we haven't seen very often. The actual group of pirate themed bankers haven't lived up to the hype, which could be a side effect of the “Worf effect” backfiring. In addition, I think Heartless has a lot to prove as an antagonist as well. Although this pirate adventure is off to a rocky start, I'm looking forward to seeing where things go. Read Full Review
Nightwing #106 wakes up a nine-month-old plot thread to find out what's in Nightwing's mysterious safety deposit box, leading to car chases, more unanswered murders by Heartless, and pirates(?). The story is fine, the art's fine, and at best, you could say Taylor is wrapping up a plot point that should have been wrapped up long ago. Read Full Review
Very good Nightwing revival after several issues that took us away from the main plot.
I love that Dick reunites with Bea (his lover from the not-so-distant Rick Grayson days) in a totally unexpected role. I do believe that not everything is settled between these two. I like the soap opera aspect of Tom Taylor and his team's story. Putting a bit of salt in the purring Nightwing/Oracle relationship can only be a good thing to energize their duo. I like the fact that the story gets out of the city and ventures elsewhere. I like that Rick Grayson isn't totally buried. I like that Heartless is in ambush. In fact, I like where the book is going. I want action, passion, humor and distress. Sounds like a good start. Oyé matey!
Overall the new arc started pretty well, but the pacing is still a bit slow.
The art was decent enough, but Redondo is missed, and I hope he'll return to the book soon.
The backup story was surprisingly fun, and the art by Acuna was great.
Solid issue. Loved the Se7en reference.
this was fun and entertaining
It was fine. Start of a new arc, I’d be more excited if I knew anything about the Ric era since we’re surprisingly going back there, but I dropped the book during it.
I don't even know what's going on here anymore. Heartless hasn't been captured by Dick in about 20 issues. The guy is still killing people and Dick never even tries to track him down. Somehow he can take a sword through his entire body but he doesn't even bleed. I'm very confused. I'm not sure how long I can continue reading this.
Not to mention that this takes place during Gotham War and there's murdering still going on right in front of Dick, yet he's fighting Batman.

Poor Bea, Taylor is going to throw her in front of the bus.
Batgirls saved this issue for me.
