    Nightwing #117 neatly brings the series up to its final confrontation. Taylor uses this penultimate issue to resolve plot threads which clear the field for a showdown between Nightwing and Heartless. Whilst I'm not ready for Taylor and Redondo to leave this book, boy are they going out on top. Read Full Review

    We're in the penultimate chapter of this epic run, with Dick Grayson in Nanda Parbat trying to get his mojo back and in one of the most hilarious twists in a DC comic in some time, Bruce Wayne moonlighting as Nightwing while his son is MIA. Read Full Review

    DC Comics News - Matthew Lloyd Aug 21, 2024

    Nightwing #117 is a bit of a step back in terms of this arc. After the surprise ending of #115, and the excitement of the prospect of Bruce filling in as Nightwing at the end of last issue, it feels like this penultimate chapter treads water just to get to the final page "surprise. There are some strong moments between Boston and Dick, but the second half of the issue moves too quickly for it to stay with you. Overall, it's certainly not a bad issue, just one in which the opportunities stay with you longer than the successes. Read Full Review

    The Batman Universe - D.M. Grant Aug 23, 2024

    Not a bad issue strictly, but an unsatisfying one considering what it was doing and what it had to do given the circumstances of all the plot threads. I am disappointed however at how things are wrapping up, and it's impacted my excitement for the finale unfortunately. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez Aug 21, 2024

    Nightwing #117 picks up the pace and energy to overcome Dick Grayson's fear of heights and make progress toward capturing Heartless before the creative team rolls off this Fall. That said, Tom Taylor employs a ridiculous number of shortcuts and leaps in logic to rush the readers from point A to B, so it's a sure bet you'll get to the end, but you won't be satisfied with the trip.
