Comments on: Nightwing #122: The Finale of Our Chaotic Arc? http://spandexjustice.com/2006/07/29/164 Fighting Crime And Looking Good Fri, 05 Dec 2008 07:59:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: Cap'n Neurotic http://spandexjustice.com/2006/07/29/164#comment-890 Cap'n Neurotic Tue, 01 Aug 2006 15:00:38 +0000 http://spandexjustice.com/2006/07/29/164#comment-890 Out of morbid curiosity inspired by your Nightwing reviews, I actually read this one and, while not as mind-numbingly horrible as I had imagined it would be, it definitely was not even close to what one would call "good." The Cleveland gag got old almost immediately, and the ill-defined bad guy powers made my head hurt like all ill-defined powers do. But, there wasn't the total train-wreck nature here that I had been expecting from the eariler "Dick becomes a male model" plot line you described. Then again, maybe it really was a train wreck, but didn't feel like one because I read it after I read the Hindenburg level disaster that was the latest issue of JSA Classified, wherein Englehart completely butchers the characterization of both Vixen and Gypsy to an insane degree. Painful, pain ful, painful, and the story's not yet done. It's times like this that I regret pre-ordering my books online.

There are so many directions to take Nightwing, so why was this chosen? Almost makes Outsiders look coherent, even though it's obvious that Winick's Nightwing is supposed to be Jason Todd, not Dick Grayson. The way things are going, maybe Dick would have been better off dying in Infinite Crisis. So…this issue was just as bad as it looked then.
