The wait for issue #76 is going to be simply Beastly. Read Full Review
All in all it doesn't get much better than this, you'll cheer as we see our boy coming back into the fold, wait with bated breath as you ponder how he's going to fold all the things he's been through together and cheer as he dives headfirst back into action. You really couldn't ask for a better return of the great Nightwing than what you receive here. Read Full Review
Nightwing #75 brings the world back into stasis…sort of. I am keen to see where everything goes for Dick and what seems to be team Nightwing. I think that is a great plan. That last page is a bit of a crappy move. I mean, can't the most optimistic hero in the DC Universe have just one good day? Read Full Review
Travis Moore and Ronan Cliquet, along with Nick Filardi, gave this book a much different vibe from the Ric and Dicky Boy days. They did a good job of helping turn the page on that chapter of Nightwing's life. Read Full Review
Now, we might actually get his take on classic Nightwing. I think he can do a great job. If he sticks with good artists (Cliquet and Moore do great on this issue) this could be the start of a new era for the character. Read Full Review
Overall good issue, as Jurgens continues to rise above the status quo. Read Full Review
To be frank, this issue alone does it much better than the past 20+ issues combined. Read Full Review
Nightwing is back, and I can't wait to see him back in action! This issue, however, is all about what Dick wants and what is coming for him. I didn't like everything from the "Ric Era," but it did happen, and Dan Jurgens gives some resolution to some of the better things from it. We also get a cliffhanger that might ruin the best thing, and that will have me back next month for sure. Read Full Review
Nightwing #75 is a good issue, worth a read to see the next leg of Dick's journey. The heart is there, but it does feel a little lackluster at times. There are great character moments, but this issue is rather slow. Just when the pace picks up, we find out the wait will continue. Read Full Review
While there is one more con with this issue, later on, Nightwing #75 is an impressive return of the title character to his old self. It has been a long wait. Now that DC has Dick back on track, let's hope he gets his full adventuring life in Bludhaven. This is the city fans have clamored to come back, one made for Dick Grayson. But with all of the detours to the many Batman crossovers, and attempts to get rid of this beloved character, it feels like Bludhaven and, by extension, Nightwing, never really get to stand on their own. There is a broad swath of Bat titles. Gotham is covered. In ten years' time, let's add some good quality titles to the Nightwing Family and let this blossom. Read Full Review
Nightwing #75 is beset by a surprising amount of hesitancy to fully dive back into Dick being Nightwing. While his relationship with Bea is a believable reason for Dick to be scared to fully return to his old life, Jurgens' script definitely looks backward more than forward. Travis Moore's interior art is a sight to behold, though I wish he got more action scenes to draw, and Ronan Cliquet turns in quality pencils as per usual. It's only Jurgens' script that gives me pause due to its repetitive and wishy washy depiction of Dick Grayson. The sooner the series moves past the remnants of the "Ric saga' the better, but Bea's continued inclusion is more than welcomed. Read Full Review
Overall I liked the issue, but the ending and the art are downers for me. Read Full Review
While clunky in the setup, this issue eventually settles on solid footing as Jurgens establishes the new status quo for Nightwing. Read Full Review
There was great hope that once Dick Grayson returned as Nightwing during Joker War that things would turn around for the character and his series. Unfortunately Dan Jurgens spends the first half of Nightwing #75 oversized page count in rehashing the same Ric Grayson storytelling that has hurt this series for the last two years. Its not until Jurgens gets past that and gives us a story about what Dick Grayson returning as Nightwing means that this issue turns a corner. Hopefully with the appearance of KGBeast the positives of Nightwing #75 are what become the focus of this series moving forward. Read Full Review
Nightwing is back, baby! Masterpiece.
Oh boy, that was a good issue, taking Dick Grayson's story to a step further. I'm sure Dick will not just dump Bea like an issue later. That would be such a letdown that disregards this issue's weight and DC wouldn't definitely do that, right?
Jurgens gtfo
It's good that the 'Ric' saga has all but ended but I didn't really get a whole lot out of this book. If Bea is going to be sticking around, I hope her character gets fleshed out more, as she is currently devoid of any distinct or memorable traits. I liked some of the stuff with Dick working through his Alfred-related mourning and am looking forward to the confrontation with KGBeast.
Finally a decent (but still not good) issue.
Why I don't read more Jurgens is beyond me. He writes so much better than just about anyone in the DC lineup right now. Rarely feels the need to write novels. Keeps pace up, moves the story along. And Nightwing seems to have a bright future. If only I wasn't so ambivalent about Bat-books.
I passed on most of the "Ric" stuff, so a lot of this book left me confused, but I'm just glad to see Nightwing's back in action after nearly 2 years. His attitude toward Barbara in here was a lot more pleasant in this issue than in Batgirl #50, where he was just plain bitter. Usually stories with the KGBeast are pretty interesting ("10 nights of the Beast" and "Troika") but he just doesn't seem as much a badass as he used to be. Maybe he needs back that cybernetic eyepiece that it looks like he still has on the cover. Still, I look forward to seeing Nightwing deal with the guy who nearly killed him.

This doesn't fit in continuity at all but otherwise, it's pretty boring! Maybe after Future State a new creative team will take the title over and we can actually move past all this Ric nonsense.
repetitive, inconsistent with the suit. Dick quite a Drama Queen, everyone is glad to see it.
An angry Bea for no reason just to add drama.
very insignificant.
