Dan Jurgens's script hits the nail on the head in its detail of complicated psychological issues. Through Grayson's struggle with memories, he portrays the difficulties in believing the truth about ourselves despite what our feelings tell us otherwise. Read Full Review

This is another fine issue of the book that promises some exciting things coming up next! Read Full Review

The tension is building and I sense that we're almost at boiling point. Nightwing's path was irrevocably altered by the events of Batman #55 and Nightwing #50, but everybody knows that this year marks Dick Grayson's 80th anniversary in comics. Will this storyline bring back the side of character we've known and loved for the past eight decades? Or will the imminent Joker War leave even more casualties in its wake? Personally, I can't wait to find out. Read Full Review

Because, we can take a good guess at what will happen with the Joker. As for the four Nightwings, we have no idea how Ric's interactions with them will go. That's not to say the Joker is predictable " obviously, he's not. But Jurgens could go in any direction with the Nightwings. We don't know much about their history outside of their professions, so anything can happen. Hopefully, Jurgens lets one or two of them go rogue " the Edwards siblings being the best candidates.

Jurgens hasnt gone down The Joker well so his appearance here has the right amount of dread and scares as he starts adding to his victim count. This is one of the preludes to The Joker War and it gets off to an ominous start for the Bat Family, but well worth grabbing for Batman readers. Read Full Review

Nightwing #70 is mostly a lead up issue but it definitely drops some kernels of deliciousness that will have you ready for the next chapter in Nightwing's journey to restoration. Read Full Review

Ryan Benjamin, guest-drawing on this issue, draws a suitably creepy Joker. Things seem to be getting back to normal for Nightwing slowly, but that doesn't mean the stakes are any lower. Read Full Review

Nightwing #70 is short and doesn't feature a lot of story; however it does offer us an inside look at Ric's mind as he slowly recovers his past and life, while battling the inner turmoil of deciding what kind of person he wants to be in this new reborn life. Read Full Review

Nightwing #70 doesn't completely derail the momentum Jurgens' series has carved out for itself lately, but Dick's lack of pro-activeness in the plot is worrisome. Previous issues have done a better job of balancing the recap of Dick's current mental state and giving him something to do in the plot. With a change in artist and a relatively shifted status quo, Nightwing #70 feels like a soft reset rather than the next issue in a previously fast moving plot. With the Joker now in the mix, Jurgens needs to retain focus on Dick and his own choices in the plot and not spread the series out too thin. Read Full Review

If, for some reason, you've waited for 70 issues to jump onto this book, Dan Jurgens will catch you up here with an issue full of recap.  If you are one of the few readers who remain loyal to Nightwing no matter what, Jurgens will remind you of everything you already know before getting a cool cliffhanger.  I know sales aren't great, so I will offer some crazy advice...give us Dick Grayson back!

Now, even adjusting for my Joker exhaustion and low tolerance for memory-wiped Nightwing, this comic was 'meh'. It's a decent, ominous story with Joker lurking around. The art is ok at times and just not good at others. It has a John Romita Jr feel that I'm not impressed with. I'm appreciative enough that quarantine limits the number of comics that I can review, so ones that wouldn't normally get my attention do. Unfortunately, there's a chance you run into comics like this that make you wish for more. Read Full Review

Jurgens and company were on a promising stretch for a while there but Nightwing #70 is several hefty steps backs. Read Full Review

Just as things were looking up Dan Jurgens takes several steps back with the story he presented in Nightwing #70. Jurgens does nothing but spotlight all of the problems this series has had since Ric Grayson became the lead character. If it wasn't for the tie-in to the upcoming Joker War story Nightwing #70 would've been a complete loss. Read Full Review

Prelude:
We're finally heading into the Return of Dick Grayson. Let's see how this issue goes with that.

The Good:
Please Joker bring back Dick.

The Bad:
I'm not on bored with Benjamin's art.

I don't like the conflicting memories plotline. Doesn't make much sense with the internet.

Characters aren't being too smart.

Conclusion:
While I can't wait for Dick to come back, it looks like we're going to be treading water for the time being.

Nothing that much happens in this issue. Ric is still confused due to 2 memories, that he has in his mind& the Nightwings are still injured. Joker was kinda fun in this issue, especially when he wore Nightwings outfit. Slow plot progression, but still ok.
It’s time things go back to normal. DC doesnt know what to do with the Ric status anymore.

Grayson spends far too long dumping exposition recap, but hopefully once this story gets going it'll be worth a damn.

Yes yes kill them all, Joker.

I’m glad Joker’s having a nice time.

Make this end soon. Please!
