Nightwing #82

Released: Jul 21, 2021

Melinda Zucco’s connection to the man who killed Dick Grayson’s parents wasn’t a surprise to the Blüdhaven hero, but what the former Robin discovers about Melinda’s ties to the Flying Graysons leaves the usually upbeat detective speechless.

As someone who absolutely adores Layman's Chew I figured I'd pick this up and my first thoughts are there's promise - this didn't hook me in like when I started reading Chew, but there's enough mystery and intrigue here to keep my interest for at least the next few issues.

Worth purchasing.

That’s hilarious. The way he gave you proof and so you pretend to be upset by something and “you’re out” Lol. I’m sure it’s not because you can’t BS you’re way around facts. No, that can’t be it @Father_Gascoigne Thanks for further cementing that you guys can only exist in a space where you can bully everyone that disagrees into silence.

I'm a cat person, can't lie. Cats don't listen, they do whatever they want, and they don't care. So, what if there was a cat that possessed all kinds of magic powers, and still didn't care? Also, the cat accentuates various forms of "mow" to express how it feels!

That's basically what this first issue seems to be setting us up for; multiple realities or universes or something, and the c more

This title is my introduction to AWA, a publisher I've been HEARING a lot about but have never actually read anything from, it's also one of about half a dozen #1s I've read this week, so I've been inundated with plenty of new worlds and mythologies.

I can't for the life of me, try to find reasons thought I might, give this anything higher than a 6.

There's glimpses and flickers of promise, but at this point I feel like the idea of buying a piece of AI that eventually becomes sentient and decides "this sucks, peace out" and the aftermath that follows (Her or Ex-Machina come to mind) is a bit tired and lacking any ability to hit on a more

The only other Al Ewing I've read is Immortal Hulk (recommendations, anyone?), but I can safely say the man knows how to leave you hanging at the end of an issue.

The world building within this issue was just enough to wet my taste buds and keep me coming back for more; I feel like Malik has the ability to become one of the more interesting Ahab-esque characters in modern comics.

SCAD is screwing over their students by not allowing them to get partial reimbursement for their tuition costs after the school went to online-only courses due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The reason students would seek reimbursement is because with SCAD being an art and design school, part of getting an effective education is using the physical resources that the school provides. There's a class-action lawsuit filed, I'm not sure what its status is now.

jokerman, I've been getting numerous complaints about your conduct on the site. It's created a level of antagonism that goes against the spirit of what I want the site to be and is affecting others' enjoyment of the site. I have no way of knowing if you read all the issues you review, but please only review issues you've read. And for the issues you have read and would like to review, there's a 20 point scale you can use to give a more evolved rating rather than reducing issues to either Masterpiece or Trash. That kind of reductive rating style is not only insulting to others who’ve enjoyed the issues you’ve labeled as Trash, but can either boost or bomb an issue's rating unfairly, which in turn causes our aggregate community ratings for each issue to mean less. This site is built on the contributions of all of us, so please consider the effects your contributions have on the site and the community that enjoys being here. If not, I have no problem with removing your account.
