   This is a make or break issue for me. If this sucks, I’m bailing.

     Haha, yeah…otherwise they’re might be a lot of new characters popping up in Month 9 and 10, right?

   Another book that I really want to like, but it’s just not happening. Sorry, Grayson. I’m out.

   Definitely one of the most surprising hits of the new 52. Higgins is great at writing Dick and I am actually looking forward to Barrows art for once. Can’t wait to see where this is going.

   4/5

    Another Bat-book where I’m enjoying the the story being told more outside of the costume, then I am when he is IN costume.

    Story 4
    Art 4

    Another solid 4/5 Nightwing. Really enjoying the blend of action, story and character in the series so far. A bit of a dark horse.

      That’s what DC has been saying, superheroes started showing up 5 years ago (ish) so Batman in Justice League (about 5 years ago) wouldn’t have a Robin yet.

      Ah, well nightwing felt to me like he had been nightwing for a while. And according to that timeline he must not have been robin for a while, since in red hood it also gives time for Todd to be robin too. And thats fine, the elasticity of comic book time, I can deal with. Its just easier to swallow if it had ambiguously said.. in the past.

      I did pause for a second because I still think of Dick as older than he’s supposed to be these days.

      But I just started re-reading Robin Year One (from 2000 by Chuck Dixon, Scott Beatty, Javier Pulido and Marco Martin — really effing good stuff, a true hidden gem) and Dick is in middle school when he starts out as Robin. So if he was 14-15 back then, I can buy him as about 20 in this current incarnation.

      It does mean you have to do some mental gymnastics regarding his time as Bludhaven cop (I don’t think there are many 19 year old police officers these days). But we’re adults here, so whatever.

      This issue didn’t do much for me. I’ll stick around for Trevor McCarthy art. Nothing against Eddy Barrows at all, but I’m hoping some different art might get my excitement back up for this book.

    This book just got dropped. At least now I can afford to add All Star Western to my pull instead.
