I don't object to the occasional ret-con, if it improves the overall lore of the franchise. But sometimes I think DC wants us to believe the ret-con in question was always there. Read Full Review

Tim Seeley's final Nightwing Rebirth issue is an exciting, emotional and overall excellent story that gives a fitting conclusion to Raptor, Shawn Tsang and the Run-Offs. It delivers some heavy moments between Nightwing and the key players that will have a lasting impact on the characters in issues to come, and ends Seeley's term as Nightwing's writer on a wonderful note.

Seeley almost goes out with a bang. This is a more than solid ending to a pretty great run, full of great character beats and some pretty exhilarating action scenes. There are a few revelations that didn't quite work for me, but overall I had a great time, and sometimes that's all you need. Seeley set out to tell the story he wanted to tell, and in that regard he succeeds. Even with a misgiving or two, I think it's safe to say he went out on top. Read Full Review

This is a solid conclusion for the creative team's run on the character; the artwork in particular shines. Read Full Review

The issue is lacking any critical flaws, but it feels like a missed opportunity on a lot of counts. Read Full Review

The final chapter is well worth the cover price as We see Dick Grayson fearless in the face of certain death. We will learn something new about his relationship to Raptor and are given a poignant moment between hero and villain. The final twist is something we probably won't see coming as the final pages wind down to what will become a satisfying, if bittersweet conclusion. Highly recommended! ***1/2 (8.5 rating) Read Full Review

The “Raptor's Revenge” story arc ends on an entertaining yet underwhelming finale. Besides the re-emergence of Raptor, the arc didn't really do anything impactful. It also didn't help that the ending felt rushed. WhatNightwing #34did succeed in was the thrilling fight between Nightwing and Raptor. I honestly can't think of anyone else as the writer ofNightwing other than Tim Seeley! Read Full Review

This is the end of a Nightwing run that peaked early and never quite recaptured the magic of the early DC Rebirth issues. Read Full Review

Tim Seeley finishes up his run with the conclusion to the Raptor's Revenge arc and while it took a little bit to get going and even longer to understand what was going on with the art, in the end I found myself enjoying this issue and feel like it's a decent goodbye from Seeley.  Read Full Review

Seeley closes out his run in a somewhat satisfying manner, one which has me excited for Sam Humphries' run starting next issue. The art was decent but I felt like another issue was necessary to properly finish the story since it came across as somewhat rushed. Read Full Review

Nightwing #34 is a clear example why rushing to wrap up every sub-plot is a bad idea when there hasn't been enough time dedicated to each storyline. After having such a strong run leading into "Raptor's Revenge" it is extremely disappointing that Tim Seeley wrapped up his time on Nightwing with a story that lacked an emotional impact. By the end of Nightwing #34 the only character that came out well enough was our lead character, Dick Grayson. Everyone else, from Raptor to Shawn Tsang, could easily end up disappearing like the New 52 Superman and they wouldn't be missed. Read Full Review

Its a shame that Tim Seeleys time on the book had to end this way, because there were elements in the series that worked very well, but very few of those elements came to play in this finale. Dick Grayson is a fantastic character that deserves better than whats been given here. I look forward to what Sam Humphries and Bernard Chang are cooking up for the series going forward.

A lot to like, but this is generally muddled, not the best end to what has been a good run on Nightwing by Seeley.

I just hope that Humphries keeps the supporting cast around.

I am so glad to be done with this era of Nightwing. This version of Bludhaven is straight up garbage, and this is easily the worst supporting cast the character has ever had. That last splash, while capably draw, was just a sea of nothing I ever want to see again.

Hopefully Humphries throws it all away, and makes Dick the hero of the book for a change.

I get that it’s Seeley’s last issue in an overall underwhelming run, but can someone please proofread A copy after it’s printed to make sure that there are no strange characters inserted into words? (Blüdhaven had several squares instead of “ü” throughout the issue). I’ve been buying this title out of respect for the character, and it has gotten progressively worse over the run. I’m looking forward to the new writer (Sam Humphries) taking over. (And hopefully new editor, new artist(s), etc.) Nightwing is a better hero than he’s been portrayed by Seeley. I don’t get it… Tim Seeley was a great writer on ‘Grayson’, but what he’s done with Nightwing has been terrible. ALSO: There are word balloons that end mid-sentence. I wish I could upload photos to point out what a crappy comic this is. more
