Tim Seeley and Javier Fernandez wrap up their Nightwing Must Die arc that opens more doors that stem from the past while simultaneously looking towards the future.
With newfound knowledge of Sam’s whereabouts, Nightwing and Robin (Damian) march towards Professor Pyg’s warehouse to put an end to his nefarious schemes. Will Nightwing be able to save Sam in time before it’s too late? What becomes of Deathwing? Who does Pyg actually answer to if he isn’t in charge of these series of events?
Tim Seeley continues to do a fantastic job in writing those series and executes the landing in wrapping the Nightwing Must Die arc. Not only does Seeley make use of one Morrison based character, he also makes use of another from Nightwing and Damian’s brief stint as Batman and Robin as well that will put a grin on any fan of the Morrison era of Batman and Robin. The writing is solid and full of absolute heart. There are scenes and character interactions not just with Grayson (Nightwing) and Damian (Robin) but there are some sweet and heart-wrenching moments that are showcased with one of the Dollitron’s (or Robintron) that reflect what Nightwing and Damian symbolize as brothers in arms. The stinger at the end reveals a cool villain that hasn’t been seen in Nightwing’s roster of villains since the Morrison run of Batman and Robin which makes things more complicated for Nightwing, but rewarding and exciting for the reader.
Javier Fernandez’s art has been consistently fantastic throughout this entire book and is as fluid as it is stylistic in shape and tone. The panel layouts are done just right, never sacrificing the graphic narrative told between gutters. Anytime Nightwing, Robin, or Deathwing or anyone is shown it movement, they feel as fluid and agile as one can imagine and sense when they are reading. The rest of the colors and lettering by the colorists and letterers on this title are just as good as the art and the story. This continues to be one of the best Batman related titles, and most definitely one of the best looking and well-written titles in the DC comics line. Definitely, check this issue out.
