Heartless' master plan is pretty insidious setting up a serious cliffhanger as Fallen Grayson part 2 delivers another excellent installment. Read Full Review

Nightwing #115 could easily be ruined by spoilers. This tension ratchets up and it's the best issue of this series in a while. If Nightwing #114 calmly set things up, #115 puts things into high gear with Heartless' plot revealed leaving Dick in a really sticky situation. This final arc by Taylor and Redondo is now rolling and appears that it will not disappoint. Read Full Review

Bruno Redondo's art continues to be excellent, and it's interesting how this book has neatly worked in Boss Zucco as the behind-the-scenes villain for much of itthis is, obviously, the first enemy Dick ever had. Read Full Review

Nightwing #115 is a near-perfect blend of thrilling action, emotional depth, and artistic excellence. Tom Taylors gripping storytelling, combined with Bruno Redondos powerful art and the impeccable work of Filipe, Lucas, and Abbott, ensures this issue is a must-read. The Heartless Saga continues to impress, and with each issue, the anticipation for what comes next only grows stronger. Read Full Review

Nightwing #115 is an interesting continuation of the runs conclusion, focusing on the recent past as a way to streamline this leg of the narrative journey. Taylors script creates a strong sense of a lean narrative track that gets out of its own, letting the story and its twist unfold in a way that feels organic at the end of every page. Rendo and Filipes artwork takes the efficiency baton, delivering an issue full of fast-moving action beats and blocking built around making every sequence crystal clear. By doing so, Graysons unmasking unfolds without any resistance. Lucass coloring underlines that fact by reinforcing the thematic elements and nudging readers through stylized palettes. This might not be the best issue for beginners to jump into, but speaks to the growth and refinement of style that will encapsulate the larger run. Read Full Review

The team of Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo keep the fires burning with Fallen Grayson Part 2, where the rhythm of Dick's descent increases which each new calamity. Read Full Review

Not much happens in this issue, but it was a pleasure to read. On a positive note, I appreciate the thematic parallels Taylor uses to harken back to the beginning of this storyline. Specifically, visual symmetry like the repeated use of fire to a metaphorical choice like framing Grayson again, makes this feel full circle. Even if Shelton's plan is a bit too basic, there is enough to suggest quite a bit of thought went into this plan. However, something like this going off in Gotham without Batman's signature paranoia kicking in is extremely unrealistic. Still, part two does an effective job of setting up the destruction of Grayson's name and still has my attention for now. Read Full Review

While Nightwing #115 is yet another display of pure artistry, its push towards a grander narrative accidentally calls into question Dick's elevated status as a brilliant and capable superhero. It will surely be fun to see how Dick gets himself out of this predicament as Taylor and Redondo's time on Nightwing draws to a close, but this frantic middle installment unfortunately deflates some tension.

Nightwing #115 finally shows Tom Taylor getting his butt in gear to bring the long-ignored Heartless arc to a close. The setup mostly makes sense, but only if the world's greatest detective ignores all the warning signs around him, and the art would be top-notch if it wasn't brought down by harsh, ugly coloring.

Nightwing #115 continues the pattern of storytelling found in this run by balancing the strengths of its pacing and artwork while falling short due to the depiction of how the story unfolds. Read Full Review

It is a testament to the high standards set by Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo that even with several questionable creative decisions Nightwing #115 still has a lot to enjoy. Read Full Review

This issue is both enjoyable and brutal, keeping readers hooked with its intense action and gripping storyline. The narrative is compelling, and the brutality adds a raw edge that makes the story stand out. It’s an intriguing installment that sets up some interesting possibilities for where the plot might go next. I’m excited to see how things unfold in future issues!

I’d rate it higher but when stories of any kind take this angle they never sit with me well and just bother me, which I guess could be the point.

I am going to miss tom Taylor when he's not writing Nightwing anymore.

Oh god, finally, some real stakes. Some real conflict. Only took the entire run.

Written by Tom Taylor and brought to life by the talented creative team of Bruno Redondo on art, Adriano Lucas on colors, and Wes Abbott lettering, Nightwing #155 is the second chapter in the ‘Fallen Grayson’ arc that will round out Taylor’s run with Dick Grayson. Unfortunately, the issue falls short of expectations as Heartless continues to be a less-than-exciting choice as Dick’s final boss.

After a slow debut issue to the arc, one of the bigger letdowns this week is how little happens again. Heartless and Zucco’s plan for revenge on Dick felt overly simplistic and something that’s happened to any good hero — they want to frame him. It all unfolded too easily, with Dick, Barbara, & Bruce getting played like fiddles. It's a shame, as Dick’s Nightwing has been built up as one of DC's top heroes, and Batman is, well, Batman. Yet, they're both caught off guard in a way that feels forced and uncharacteristic for two of the best.

Redondo's line work is always a pleasure to read, bringing a sense of energy and movement to every panel. Lucas' colors are equally impressive, adding depth to the visuals. The combination of their styles creates a vibrancy to the book that draws you in. One of standout moments in the issue is the depiction of Dick's hallucinatory state, which is rendered in a dreamlike, surreal style. The artwork is so effective that it elevates the storytelling, making even the most mundane moments feel more compelling. The lettering by Wes Abbott is also noteworthy, adding a clear and concise touch to the narrative.

While the ‘Fallen Grayson’ arc has quite hooked me yet, Taylor has shown that he knows how to write Dick Grayson and I’m willing to wait until this plot kicks into high gear to cap off his acclaimed run on the character. more

Wow, this comic was poorly written even by the standards of recent months. Taylor threw everything away and gave up on writing anything good. Now it's time to count down the months for the new writer, who will have to clean up a lot of the mess that Taylor has been leaving behind.
Redondo's art isn't bad, but it doesn't have any standout moments.
