Dick Grayson: Robin, Nightwing, Batman, Agent of Spyral Appreciation 2019

[Godlike13]

The creators on this book thought it would be a good idea to take hobo Ric and have him run around with filth on his face. Cause what’s cooler then a filthy hobo with rope. Honestly everyone involved on this direction have been terrible. From the writers bad regurgitated ideas, to the artists lame tone deaf designs.

Mooneyham was never a good fit on this book. Even for Percy’s run, which was about modern technology, his gritty style didn’t capture the tones or themes at all. It made Bludhaven and the Dark Web look dated and ugly. The annual made it especially apparent. Even now though. They have girls comment how pretty Ric is, except the art has him looking like a ghoul most the time. It’s so off the mark.

This is honestly hilarious. People got paid to do this. This was probably someone's first introduction to comics.

I'm glad that Moore bolted though, the direction doesn't deserve him.

Mooneyham as a Dick Grayson artist I don't get at all. It just doesn't have a good vibe for a youthful character. DC could have at least gotten some former Jason artist's for this run.

After watching YJ3’s resent episodes I like how they portray Dick’s connection to all DC heroes and how a lot of them would actually help if he asks. Something that we lost in comics for good I feel.

Bleeding Cool reported Titans #36 solicitation is the final issue and speculated with both Titans and Young Justice on air they will relaunch with a new creative team and direction immediately
I see Nightwing #59 got Dan Jurgens. He's a big name.
So if they're... I wanna say smart, but if they're smart they wouldn't have done this in the first place... they'll relaunch both Nightwing and Titans to follow the success of Titans and Young Justice the next month.

I don't think it's gone for good but it's definitely gone for maybe another decade or so.

What a mess.

Why is this still going? Does that mean the Nighwing in Tec 1000 is going to be Ric because that's messed up

[Godlike13]

No, it’s gonna be that random cop guy. He’s head Nightwing now, lol.

If this was someone’s first comic, then it would also be their last comic.

Yup... I was just reminiscing yesterday about Dick's position on the Team. When he was leader, Cassie used to call him "Boss" and it was cute. Reminded me of his relationship with Kara in the comics before Flashpoint. It's just really nice to be following a version of Dick who has his act together and is as popular in-universe as he is out of it. Every hero knows Dick, and some of the biggest villains too as of Episode 9 of Outsiders, in spite of Dick trying to keep the existence of Nightwing hidden from the public.

I'm glad that Moore bolted though, the direction doesn't deserve him.

I'm pretty sure Moore said he's back for #56 and that he wants to keep drawing Dick. Hopefully he'll be on an issue where Dick is really Dick.

And about Mooneyham, he got tons of praise at the start of Percy's run. It was odd to me since I didn't like the direction of the book, but tons of comic readers and critics were heaping it on. I noticed it was the more general readers or fans who weren't hardcore Nightwing readers that were liking it, tho. Fans like us were not into it from the get-go, iirc.

[Godlike13]

Oh, joy. Can’t wait for Moore’s 5 pages.

I kinda want to know what happened in those 5 years that made everyone aware who is Dick Grayson. Considering in first two seasons he used to hide his identity even from his teammates.

Also, it’s nice to see that both Titans and YJ3 doing something interesting with him. At least it shows that problem was never in character, but in writers and DC’s management; they never took a time and interest in developing him and his world. Which is shame, when you look how popular he is.
DC always for some reasons shy away from pushing forward their fan favorite characters unless they belong to 1st generation or named Harley Quinn.

[Godlike13]

Given YJ Dick, he probably dated too many of the girls to viably keep his cover.
