Bludhaven really does feel like its alive, as long as you just stick to the words and don't look at the pictures. Nightwing Annual 1 chronologically takes place before the entire series, but putting it first would be weird, so I just stuck with publication order. we need more Nightwing stories like this with huge development potential and rich interesting characters.

It may just be down to my preference but I don't so how this art can be preferred to the likes of Jim Aparo or Marshall Rogers surely there must have been better artists available at the time.ġ00% still worth a read. A tale of action and drama set in a world where, well, it was winter all the time. Chuck Dixon begins his definitive run on Nightwing here. This was Robin's first solo series EVER, as Dixon and Tom Lyle gave Tim Drake his own mini-series and introduced a major recurring villain, King Snake. Characters are drawn with big heads and tiny bodies, Batman has a Peter Griffin chin in one panel and all characters just look horrible and really belittles the fantastic writing. Growing up as Robin, the Boy Wonder, Dick Grayson fought crime alongside his mentor and fat. and that is the terrible terrible artwork of Scott Mcdaniel, blurry busy panels with next to no detail and poor clarity. now this said, there is a reason this still only gets 4 stars instead of five. The start of the Nightwing series really is a roaring success. Unable to avoid fighting crime, Grayson begins a new odyssey, donning a new uniform and gaining a new heroic identity.

The book is rife with cameos of returning characters and plenty of material to use for development in future issues. Unsure of what to do and where to turn, he seeks solace from familiar sources-including Superman, Batgirl, and Deadman. Nightwing faces his biggest fears in a hallucinatory story, providing us a great insight into Dick Graysons mind and his fear of inadequacy and failure, we also get to see Nightwing reunited with an old ally and a rematch with Blockbuster. Nightwing continues his battle for Bludhaven against Blockbuster while enduring bombardments of organised crime and assassins. More fantastic writing from Chuck Dixon a gripping and entertaining tale thats continues to feel both fun and fresh.
