Nightwing gets
acquainted with Paragon and his Republic of Tomorrow during an
explosive opening fight that showcases Dick's resourcefulness and
quick thinking. The issue also features a rare bonding moment with
Damian Wayne, what looks like the beginning of a potential
relationship with Sonia Zucco, and a defying encounter with Travis
Nie. Speaking of the persistent detective, the reason behind his
harassing behavior towards Nightwing is revealed in a natural,
commendable manner; kudos to DC for continuing the expansion of
character diversity.
Kyle Higgins uses
elements that go back to the start of the series to tell his story,
which is in a way rewarding to loyal followers of the title; yet,
new readers will not find themselves lost since references to
previous events are clearly laid out. Andres Guinaldo gets his first
solo stint in the book, and thanks to Rod Reis' coloring, the art
transition is smooth and seamless.
