I did like the brother bonding with Dick and Damian. And I like that Damian is still his snarky self but his affection for Dick is clear. At least, it was to me. I thought it was a good Rebirth issue.Freni Gillespiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00800901140543065840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-43654062453644288172016-07-14T10:14:31.256-04:002016-07-14T10:14:31.256-04:00Also am I crazy or wasn't it revealed that Tig...Also am I crazy or wasn't it revealed that Tiger was really a Checkmate operative the entire time?

Genuinely ag...I am not a ROBOT!! I am a free man!!<br /><br />Genuinely agree with this review, I had the same issues with the dialogue (all my Seely fears come to life) and the art. And don't get me wrong, I dig Paquettes art in almost anything else, but not in this book; the action was stiff, and the faces were just off. <br />Quick side note: While I do love the new Huntress design, my favorite part of Helena was always seeing her face, especially her eyes. Gonna miss them.<br /><br />That said, I do appreciate the setup that this book is heading towards , the black-masked "Parliament" should be an interesting addition, without re-hashing the "Court" beats that were in Batman's story. I wonder if the new head Honcho will be William Cobb or another former Talon?<br /><br />The issue achieves its goal, but with a fair number of flaws. I appreciate Seely's attempt at witty banter, and his acknowledgement of the existing relationships in Dick's life, but If I have to endure one more "I've gone by many names, but I'm always Dick, and I always care, and that's why I always win" speeches... I'm going to find him at NYCC and kick him in the shin!<br /><br />To me this felt more like the true final issue of Grayson, a semi-proper sendoff to that spy life, than a proper reintroduction to Nightwing.<br /><br />6.5/10 for me.<br />Rock on fellas!<br />-Ascent<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-25495002545928180722016-07-14T07:00:42.769-04:002016-07-14T07:00:42.769-04:00This was soooooo boring for me.
