Nightwing #130 is a jumping on point for new/returning readers. It's a good issue in the grand scheme, and it feels like it's setting up a big change for Nightwing. 'Till Next time Caped Crusaders! Read Full Review
In many ways, the sad case of Bryce Moran is like an uncomfortably corrupt version of Shazam. After the Totality storyline in Titans, the demon superpower thing from Nightwing #104, the Gotham Girl saga, or just common sense should be enough for Dick to end this “Nightwing Prime” story before it starts. Otherwise, this is a decent return to the main storyline. There are some standout panels, such as Bryce crying in the rain at the grave, and the pleasing contrast in the skyline in the begining of the issue and the cover. Narratively, the character has plenty of conflicts to deal with amid the growing menace of the haunting big bad. Even with the issues in dialogue and flaws in internal logic, readers can start to get on board with the next phase of the series. Read Full Review
While Dan Watters and Dexter Soy do a strong job with Dick's relationships with other heroes in Nightwing #130, the nature of the moral dilemma forming the narrative backbone of the book continues to collapse under its own immaturity. Read Full Review
The start of a new storyline in this issue holds great promise as Watters and Soy deliver their best issue yet. It works on several levels, including the Dick/Bruce encounter, the mayoral shenanigans on the horizon, the conflict with the police and the man-bats, Bryce and his new powers, and Dick taking on a protege. Best compliment I can give is that this lives up to the high bar by Tom Taylor for a change.
This run for me goes contantly from being meh to being good to being meh again, it's crazy that it have been 10 issues already and my opinion shifts so much and at the same time, we are pretty much at zero point. I feel like it has a weird identity or we are just too early.
This issue for me serves as an aftermath to the sureality of last few issues, issue that personally i did not enjoy much when reading. It puts Nightwing back into the real issues that plague the city.I have some stuff with how the issue feels somewhat hollow and forgettable. Obviously not every issue needs to be a banger, but this particually i feel have some pretty big flaws and feels stiched togheter not so good. We get this fight that feels weightless and d more
