THE GOOD:

-Travis Moore’s present-day art was very well done.

-I like the new status quo for Nightwing. It might not be a popular opinion, but I was getting bored with main story, this shakes things up a bit, and in a good way.

-Percy’s characterization of Scarecrow was good. The right amount of twisted and original, in my opinion.

-I like Barbara’s place in this book, and her relationship with Dick. It adds an interesting new layer to their previously boring relationship.

-This issue provided an interesting setup for the next story arc, and for once I’m excited for a Nightwing story arc? Somebody check my head.

THE BAD:

-Chris Mooneyham’s flashback art was not so good. I wish Moore just did the whole issue, but alas it shall not be.

-We need to keep Benjamin Percy three feet away from writing a Batman comic at all times, because the dude cannot write Batman.

-Did they really have to give us those several scenes with Grayson in his underwear? C’mon guys.

-The guy slept in their house, and all they got was eleven stinking dollars?! Real cheap, Grayson.

-For an issue #50, this didn’t really do enough. It said goodbye to the old and hello to the new, yes. But there was no wow moments, if you know what I mean.

-That last page. First of all, the metaphor was way, way too on the nose. Second, was that really necessary. Third, arson! Arson!
