Nightwing #111 feels like a return of sort. The plot gets back to Heartless which brings the reader back to where Tom Taylor's run began back with Nightwing #78. Perhaps, Taylor has moved past the events which have been interrupting the DC Universe and Dick Grayson will soon face off against Heartless in a definitive if not final confrontation.

We are officially beginning the end of the Taylor era of this character, and though I've been growing increasingly cooler on it, I'm still very much excited to see how things wrap up. Read Full Review

Archie Goodwin really cracked this kind of story wide open with Batman: The Night Cries, and now I see its influence in everything. It even opens with a similar prose about “a scream” in Gotham. Taylor's story isn't nearly as deep nor focused as that, but this is a much needed change of pace for Nightwing. Most importantly, I appreciate all of the check up Batman does with the family after whatever Gotham War did to his family. Overall, this story is pretty transparent, but I still like it for the most part. Also, there is nothing new I can say about Sam Basri's consistently decent work on Nightwing. In order for this story to stand out more, Taylor would need to really do his best on part two. Read Full Review

Nightwing #111 marks the beginning of the end for Heartless and Tom Taylor's time on the title, but the final arc starts with a bait-and-switch that drags the Heartless reign even longer and makes Nightwing look like a less competent detective than he should be. If nothing else, at least Heartless and Taylor will soon be gone. Read Full Review

This is a great approach to Nightwing overall. Just like every female detective doesn't have to be an alcoholic about to lose custody of her kids, not every Batman-adjacent person needs to be a dumpster fire. The weaknesses in dialogue and narration are easy to forgive. This is a strong book.

Great read. Twist at the end was unexpected, very well done.

this arc seems to be a response to people saying Tom Taylor's Nightwing run has been like cotton candy. Which to be fair, it has. But Imma miss this run. I love Tom Taylor's writing for Nightwing and Batman.

Taylor is really bad at wanting to write something sentimental about Dick and Bruce. The dialogues here are very bad.
And Hearthless? Who cares?
