Accepting his destiny as the Gray Son, Ric Grayson joins his great-grandfather as the newest Talon! He's cleaning up Blu dhaven and restoring order to a city that has been in complete and utter disarray for the past year. But at what cost? When he faces off against a new enemy whose metal tests his mettle, everyone's values will be tested.
For those whove patiently waited Jurgens seems poised to reward that faith as Nightwing heads to 2020 on a strong note. Read Full Review
If the end to this issue means what I think it does, then William Cobb and the Court Of Owls are in deep, deep trouble. Read Full Review
One of the lighter reads in recent Nightwing but a great one nonetheless. Jurgens is on top of this book and with Ronan Cliquet and Nick Filardi is knocking out some solid art issue after issue you're cheating yourself if you aren't checking this out. Read Full Review
It does end on a high note. But I have to say it: This issue is too quick. I read it in like five minutes. It is pretty good but it is so short, you do feel a little gypped. What's there is good, but it feels almost too short for my liking. Read Full Review
We knew this would be the endgame, but the ending feels rushed. I think we'll all be happy to have Dick Grayson back, because while Jurgens has done his best with the concept this whole era has gone on too long. Read Full Review
And one last little item, I appreciate the way Jurgens summed up what happened in the previous issue. He didn't was two pages, or even one. It took one speech bubble from Talon to remind us of what happened. Plus, it flowed naturally with what was going on in the issue. A nice touch and an excellent decision by Jurgens. Read Full Review
With excellent art throughout you get an issue that shows just how deadly Ric Grayson is as a Talon, but it won't last too long because boy does this issue move by fast. While I would have liked a less forced way for our hero to be kept occupied here so that he didn't kill his teammates, in the end I had a good time here and look forward to the next issue.

On the bright side, it's jam packed full of peak comic book action. On the other hand, it comes with it's fair share of moments that certainly straddle the line of corny. Read Full Review
More or less a decent story, but it could have been way better. Read Full Review
Nightwing #67 fails to live up to the promise of last month's cliffhanger. For anyone who has been waiting to see the Nightwing team get taken down a notch, this book may not fully satisfy. For everyone else who has dismissed the "Ric" saga until now, this chapter does little to entice those readers back. Read Full Review
Thought we would get something way more interesting maybe even epic this issue. Like Ric killing the Nightwigs while under the Owls grip. But no it was just more dragging on of the current story. This series needs a new writer on it. Someone that will put some excitement into the book again. The Talon story held promise but is failing to deliver on it. Just bring us Dick Grayson back
This issue was rushed& ended, when it became interesting. Ric is mind controlled by the court & is trying to kill the Nightwings. It could have been more exciting, but it’s not that bad either.
I can't believe this is still happening. Who likes this? Who is this for?
Prelude:
I've been enjoying this time of having Ric as the Gray Son so let's see how this issue from Jurgens goes.
The Good:
Yeah, I'm blanking here.
The Bad:
I still hate Dick's Talon costume.
Red Condor is awfully convenient for the Nightwings.
I wish the struggle between Dick and Talon was longer.
Conclusion:
Look, it's not worse than a 5. This issue just stinks of wasted potential.
Please. Just give us real Nightwing again.
This is finally a step in the right direction but ultimately is just a very underwhelming issue. The ending which is left as vague as possible is its main weakness as right now any clear sign that “ric” is gone would be welcome.
It feels as if “Talon” was just pulling his punches while the real Talon’s hesitance to intervene is not fully believable. This makes the “battle” seem to have very little stakes.
The new character/organization introduced does not add much yet, but seems like something more fitting in a “larger-scale” title.
Real talk, does anybody care about any of this? I sure don’t.
