"SPYRAL" part one! Huntress comes back into Nightwing's life at his lowest moment. But is she here to help him find the man who killed one of Dick's closest allies? Or is she here to carry out a mission of her own?
Despite all of the references to previous arcs and series, this issue could serve as a great jumping on point for new readers. Seeley and his team have set up a solid first issue for their new arc "Spyral" " and this is looking like one you won't want to miss! Read Full Review
Seeley going nostalgic with a Grayson era storyline definitely has my interests and the final page has me eagerly awaiting the next issue. If you needed a good jump-on point this is an easy recommendation. Read Full Review
This is a great entry into the saga of Nightwing. It has action, character, and a fantastic guest-star in Huntress to balance out Nightwing himself. This one definitely earns its recommendation. Read Full Review
NIGHTWING #26, while not as exciting as previous installments, makes up for it with a compelling emotional conflict brewing inside of Dick Grayson. It's fun to see Dick reunite with his former lover, Helena Bertinelli, while fighting Italian mobsters. The art by Javier Fernandez and Chris Sotomayor helps solidify the emotional impact of NIGHTWING #26. This marks a great start to the new "Spyral" arc! Read Full Review
Nightwing #26 starts off as a tale of revenge, but quickly transforms into a spy laced whodunit, delivering a satisfying hook for next issue to boot. If you haven't given Nightwing a chance, now's the perfect time to change your mind. Read Full Review
This new arc brings a freshness to the title and the appearance of Huntress and the reintroduction of Spyral add another angle to the tale of Nightwing in Bludhaven. Along with the admirable artwork of Javier Fernandez Nightwing remains a strong consistent title coming out of the Dc stable and should be in the pull list of any serious Bat-Family fan.

This was an issue that does a great job of letting Dick Grayson's character shine through. With how beloved the Grayson series was, a Huntress and Nightwing team-up may just be what readers need right now. The ending hints at a superhero/spy thriller mashup that would be incredibly different and exciting. Read Full Review
With unexpected twists and personal development out the whah-zoo, this issue of Nightwing fights to the centre of the Second Hand mystery while seeking answers for his friend's death, and lets the life of Dick Grayson: Ordinary Guy burn quietly away to nothing. The pressure is building in Bludhaven. Read Full Review
Nightwing is on the hunt, but of course, the predator rarely stays in that role with a Nightwing book. We don't see the range of emotion we expected following the last arc, but the inclusion of Huntress and the Spyral connections start this arc off in interesting ways. Read Full Review
Nightwing #26 does a great job bringing Spyral back into the fold. Tim Seeley is able to nail how much fun a team-up between Nightwing and Huntress is. The pair have a unique chemistry that Seeley and artist Javier Fernandez do a fantastic job tapping into with the super spy-centered story. That fun is dragged down a bit by the eye rolling direction Shawn Tsang's character takes. It certainly put a damper on an otherwise strong issue of Nightwing. Read Full Review
There's a lot of nice touches here (especially where the art is concerned), but some questionable handling of the supporting cast prevents the issue from being as successful as it could be. Read Full Review
So excited to see Spyral back in the picture, because it'ssuch a defining part of who Dick is. Some of the stuff with Shawn made it pretty obvious of where that story was headed, but it's so small it didn't bother metoo much. I liked this story a lot better. I'm still not to confident in Nightwing's future, but hopefully this is a sign of a nice turning point. Read Full Review
We're used to quality from Tim Seeley‘s Nightwing, and there's no letdown here. It's almost impossible to get bored with this book as it changes things up frequently and explores all facets of Dick's life. Once again, add this to your buy list for the week. Read Full Review
The opening installment of "Spyral" may not always hit the mark, but when it does it sticks the landing pretty well. Despite an early lack of proper pacing and some shaky visuals, the issue really comes into its own late in the game. There's some great character work throughout and some stunning pencils at times, and the sting at the end completely changes the narrative in the entire Nightwing series up to this point. This is a good comic; here's hoping this talented team can make it great. Read Full Review
However, the thing that I absolutely despise in the issue is the regression of Shawn Tsang. Her relationship with Grayson was the most redeeming aspect of this title. Without it, both Grayson and Shawn are less interesting than they were earlier in Seeley's time on the book. It's not enough to make me quit reading, but I hope the final journey is worth it.

Theres some good action here, and the twist ending really shocked me. Despite all of the feels permeating the book, it still is a fun read. Read Full Review
After I finally thought that we were hitting a decent pace with this Nightwing series, Tim Seeley decided to go back to the well of his Grayson days and brought Spyral back for this story whether it made sense to the continuity or not. On top of not really enjoying the story, I was not a fan of the art at all and even though the story just began, I can't wait for it to over already. Read Full Review
I find it tiresome to see this kind of content in comic books. I see it on the news, andin my local paper, and the Internet, and I hear of it from friends and acquaintances. I read comic books to escape from this stuff. Cant they just feature some good old-fashioned good guys vs. bad guys? If I wanted a sermon on corporate evil, Id read Green Arrow. Read Full Review
Not bad, but still not the same quality that Nightwing has been previously in the series. I hope that it starts to pick up soon.
There's a person scoring 1.0 in every issue. I don't know if he has a hate vendetta against Dick Grayson or Seeley, but it destroys the purpose of user reviews when one angry person can destroy the truthfulness of the score. Please don't mind him, and CBRU please find measures against score abuses like this. Thank you.
We're in a bit of a rough patch here as the main plot was good but not great, and the backsliding of Shawn was really disappointing and predictable. Seeley can do better. He WAS doing better. What's going on, Tim?
Loved the art, though.
