Dick Grayson: Robin/ Nightwing/ Agent 37 Appreciation 2021

[dropkickjake]

yeah somehow new52 being its own volume totally slipped my mind.

[HsssH]

So looks like they might do a renumbering for #300?

As for Nightwing having more creative freedom now, I'm not sure, isn't this what they always say about everything? Lets maybe wait till something shocking happens in Batman and if it doesn't force a storyline on Nightwing.

Add one more to the hype train:

Okay, I am in a blood feud with @TomTaylorMade, but NIGHTWING #1 is one of the best Batbooks I've read in years. No hype, it doesn't need it, it's that good.
Art by Bruno Redondo is SPECTACULAR.

Put it on your lists. Trust me on this.

"DC talked to me about a number of projects after Suicide Squad & Injustice: YZ but as soon as Nightwing was mentioned with @Bruno_Redondo_F, I leapt at it." - Tom, how he got the job

It's getting to the point at which it's easier to name the people that haven't read an advanced copy already. xD I don't know if I can take one more review. The 16th is still so far away.

Good to know that Taylor and Redondo really wanted Nightwing even if that has been pretty clear just by the detail and thought they are seemingly putting into the run.

So much kinetic energy! Dick looks ready to summersault off that roof and take down multiple people at once. In my humble opinion Dick should always look like that.

I'm also getting Bleach! vibes for some reason.

[9th.]

Nightwing (1995) = 4 Issues
Nightwing (1996) = 153 Issues \ 2 Annuals \ 2 specials (#0,5 and #1.000.000)
Nightwing (2011) = 30 Issues \ 1 Annuals \ 1 special (#0)
Nightwing (2016) = 77 Issues \ 3 Annuals

Total until now: 264 issues \ 6 Annuals \ 3 specials.

With we include Grayson as his solo books:

Grayson (2014) = 20 issues \ 3 Annuals \ 1 special (Futures End)

Total: 284 issues \ 9 Annuals \ 4 specials.

Is the 95 series any good? I don't think I've ever bothered to read it.

It's gritty, and surprisingly similar to Grayson in the sense that he tackles international crime lord, but with a darker and serious tone.
The only thing ruining it is his mane of hair.

Do you think Bruce uses an excel file to keep track of all the Robins?

Thanks, that does sound kinda interesting. I might read it when I get in a 90s mood.

Well, not for the Robins specifically .

^I wish we could have gotten an ongoing in that style.

My hype for Nightwing # 1 is growing lately.

Love that kinetic Jimenez art. I'm still not into the zig-zags on Nightwing's calves but like ... I like that there's something there to show the kinetic energy and so that his body isn't just a black silhouette only hovering above the chest/shoulders/bird with color, and like that keeping things simple it's black suit and blue accents, but I'm just not into the fact that it's a swooshy zig-zag. I haven't really thought about what I'd do differently, but zig-zag just feels like ... I dunno, Alt-Universe one-off Dark Flash enemy design motif, and doesn't necessary rock with Nightwing's "nocturnal bird ... hey I'll use every descriptor I can as long as we don't say the word 'owl'" iconography. You know, more "wings" on your legs don't make much sense (unless you're Namor) and it gets pretty over-done the more you think of "what could it be" but maybe they could just be bands, bars, a little striping or some stylized shin-guards or something?
