I personally don’t like the art. I think the problem is that watters is writing to his perception of the artists strengths and not his own strengths. The book just doesn’t work.
Blüdhaven is changing. A new hero rises under Nightwing’s watchful eye while the mayor vows to wipe out crime and restore order. The streets of Blüdhaven are quieter, even cleaner, but a new darkness is creeping in beneath it all. An old enemy is pulling the mayor’s strings…and is about to make themselves known.
Watters continues elevating Nightwing with smart serialised storytelling that balances character development and superhero action perfectly. Soy and Gandini's artwork remains the book's crowning jewel, delivering a visually stunning issue with a killer final page. Read Full Review
This book can sometimes have trouble juggling all of its elements, but it's surprisingly deft with how it combines a crime thriller, a supernatural thriller, and a superhero adventure into something that's compelling in every issue. Read Full Review

I’m going to keep praising the art
Another month, and another month where I wonder where the good writer I was told Dan Watters was?
Seriously, the comic has good art, good colors, look, he brought in a cool villain, and...... nothing. Nightwing doesn't do anything, Bryce and the lesbian cop get all the attention. The main "plot" develops so slowly that sometimes I wonder if it even exists.
Please, a new writer, and it doesn't even have to be someone big. An Ed Brisson would do just fine.
