Nightwing #44 preview and discussion thread (SPOILERS!)

[Pohzee]

Made it out the the comic store for the first time this year to try out the new creative team.

Eh.

Pretty much everything everyone else here said was accurate. I was expecting a dumpster fire based on Percy's Green Arrow, but it was decent enough. Though awkward and unsubtle in some places. (Funnily enough, it was still better written that Snyder and Benis's portions of DC Nation, but that is a different topic...) I was suprised by how much I liked the art.

Not the most impressive issue, but I am curious enough of future Morrisonian threads and upcoming globetrotting to maybe stick around.

It's funny. I've never been that bothered by Percy's Green Arrow, and I liked this issue of Nightwing, and I'm definitely not a liberal. I didn't think it felt preachy, more like parts of the characters in both cases. So...?

So...? what? I didnt made me quit the book, how they handled his romance with black canary did that. but i did roll my eyes when i read it.

I'm just saying that just because Percy was writing Ollie as a liberal didn't make a non-liberal quit.

Meh. Sounds like someone needs to gain thick skin if this bothers them. Why do politics cape comics have to be 'subtle'? Because it's forcing you to question things? Writers should be able to tell the kind of stories they want. Something is only preachy if you don't agree with it.

Very well said. I don't mind a comic getting political and I don't mind writers taking a stand or letting their work be their voice.

I enjoyed the issue. I am not remotely liberal but I like and have great respect for Percy exactly because he gets on a Soapbox. His work shows you his heart like it or not he takes a stand and always punches it home.

If I see comics virtue-signalling, I don't buy 'em. There are three televisions in my house and they're all on different news channels so I can stay informed on all the issues from all sides; I read numerous blogs and professional journals. When I pick up a comic book, I've had enough of all the punditry and just want an entertaining story, not a sermon--not interested in some "creators" political views any more than I am in their personal sex fantasies in the pages of a lousy funnybook. Keep Nightwing apolitical.
