    As always, Nightwing #108 is a comic with amazing scripts, stunning art, glorious color, and crystal clear, crisp lettering and sound effects from Wes Abbott. This series has been nigh-on perfect month after month for years, and that's why it's at the top of my reading list every time. Read Full Review

    Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield Nov 21, 2023

    This issue is a pure swashbuckling adventure, that actually manages to work in some really excellent dialogue along the way. It's certainly a weird divergence for the titleand one that leaves many of the ongoing subplots behindbut it actually has some fascinating reveals about the way Bludhaven works that promise some interesting fallout.

    Nightwing is undercover for this four-issue arc, but it hasn't felt like a time-killer. And with this unexpected cliffhanger it's gonna be a long wait for the next installment. Read Full Review

    Nightwing #108 is another solid issue in this run. The surprises surprises and they suggest some deeper developments to come. This whole "pirate storyline has been interesting from the first time the Hold was introduced. There's a lot of heart in this issue between both stories, which is one of the strengths that is a part of this title. Read Full Review

    Get Your Comic On - Neil Vagg Nov 21, 2023

    Nightwing takes a huge leap with its latest chapter, introducing a brand new location unlike anything the series has done before. Taking action-adventure to the high seas continues to prove successful for the former Boy Wonder and his superstar creative team. Read Full Review

    From the leap, it's clear Stephen Byrne should have been drawing Nightwing stories long, long ago. Read Full Review

    Nightwing's pirate adventure gets bigger in a fun way, and then gets badder in a really exciting way. Read Full Review

    Nightwing fans are likely to feel the pirate arc is overstaying its welcomewhich is a bummer because theres so much that could be done. Hopefully next issue picks up better. Read Full Review

    Batman-News - Aaron Ray Jr. Nov 21, 2023

    In my opinion, I can't blame anyone for double crossing Bea. Under her and her father's watch, the entire organization is unquestionably a complete joke. Honestly, Tom Taylor has done an atrocious job of endearing readers to this strangely commercially viable pirate crew. I can't think of a single reason Quartermaster and this group should have ever thought to justify threatening anyone. Even the menacing new villain isn't enough to garner any real challenge out of Nightwing. Overall, while I very much enjoy Stephen Byrne's illustrations and the idea of the group, The Crew of The Crossed Keys are staggeringly underwhelming pirates. At this point, I just want Nightwing to get his possessions from the vault, and let Dirk revitalize the group for evil if there is a chance it will help. Read Full Review

    Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez Nov 21, 2023

    Nightwing #108 keeps up the high stakes though the predictability in the plot did remove some of the excitement. Tom Taylor and Stephen Byrne strength as a creative team keeps you investment in where Dick Grayson and Bea Bennett's story goes. Add in a fun ending to the back-up story by Michael Conrad and Serg Acuna provides more value to this comic book. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez Nov 21, 2023

    Nightwing #108 is a mediocre entry in the pirate arc with passable art and a bizarre retcon that makes Nightwing appear even more ineffectual in his series. For once, the ending has a bit of an emotional punch, but the overall comic is dramatically flat. Read Full Review
