Like most of the other DC Comics, Nightwing is getting a bit of a fresh start coming out of K.O. Yeah, technically you could argue this is just the start of a new story arc, but the way Dan Watters rushed his Zanni story to a conclusion last issue makes this feel like a bit of a restart/course correction. If you enjoyed what Watter's has done up to this point, you may disagree, and that's fine, but IMO, this book has been a convoluted mess of ill-defined characters and storylines that were more likely to be tossed aside than concluded in any sort of satisfactory way. The Zanni, Captain Hallow, Olivia Pierce, Spheric Solutions, the Teddies, Flyboys, etc., Nightwing Prime, Night-Might is soup, the new Mayor, and on and on...  With all that said, I was looking forward to this issue, hoping that maybe Dan Watters would keep true to one of his promises - that Nightwing would be more street-level going forward. Well, the story does involve a street! Let's dive into Nightwing #136...
