Wonder if they're going to address Dick and Helena's one-night-stand in this issue...
Actually kind of hard to watch Orca get the crap beat out her like that.

I think Orca should be Dick's next girlfriend.

I only assume it's a one-night stand because neither are in a position to start a serious relationship now. Also, cause Seeley is about to bounce and maybe wanted to do the hookup before he left since there is no guarantee Humphries even cares about Helena.
I don't think they are in a relationship now. I think the Helena thing was Seeley trying to tie up left over plots from the Grayson series before he leaves Nightwing. Dick and Helena really should have hooked up in Grayson after all the set up between the two of them there and I think this was Seeley writing something he never got to deal with in Grayson, especially considering he was the one that brought Helena back and redesigned her.
Pretty good start for this story, I'll really be sad to see Seeley go.

Not that the partnership is going to last long, but I like Dick having to go to Blockbuster to stop Raptor. Though between having to protect that politician and teaming up with a villain, Dick is really proving Raptor's point, in his mind. I do wonder what Raptor's endgame is- destroy this city just because Dick likes it? Kill Nightwing? Take everything away from Dick till he has nothing? I'm also curious to see how they end things with Dick/Helena, since that's definitely not going to last.
Ok, so Raptor is back

and it's like he is changed his moral code. Why?
I hope Svodoba is joking, but I still don't like their conversation.
Something is definitely wrong with Dick: now is Helena who wants a true relationship while he is holding back? Really? And why go to the Run Offs, after all that happened? Can't he just say: "Hel, I need your help and then we can go together to Gotham"? It seems like Seeley is rushing to put an end, before leaving.
Let's see how it works between him and Blockbuster, and what's in Raptor mind.
I'm really waiting for Humphries, right now.
Solid issue. Typical "closing time" story where the writer brings back his original ideas along with the new ones in a way that makes sense but at the same time creates some intriguing aspects about it. Good art as well.
Hope the conclusion is appropriate.
