Looks like we are getting to the end of Taylor's Nightwing.
Kind of a shame, I would have been happy if this was one of those books that lasted forever.
A few thoughts:
- How long we going here with this Zur stuff in Batman?
- If we're going to be inundated with Batman/Batman family Black Label projects I hope they put effort into making the feel unique like The Boy Wonder
- More Jurassic League? Hell yea.
- Based off what we know re: runs running up and these solicits it does feel like we're heading towards a shake up in the Batman line.
- If you had told me when it launched that Poison Ivy would still be going strong after 2 years I'd have been very dubious but it has been a great book, here's hoping for a few more years.
- Lobo has betrayed Superman? Whoever could've seen this coming.
- The Paquette Power Girl cover and the Tedesco Wonder Woman covers are both great - Paquette's cover is maybe the first time I'd seen an alternate Power Girl look and thought maybe this is better than the traditional one and Tedeco is probably the first time I've seen the Odyssey era costume and thought that works.
- Sinister Sons just doesn't click for me the way Super Sons did.
- Covers I like:
Nobody else think than the solicitation and cover of Outsiders seems a lot like a final issue?

Batman #147 (nope)
Zhur is to Zhdarsky what Bane was to King & Joker was to Synder
The Boy Wonder #1(Pick Up)
This is interesting I love how much Damian is getting good recognition since Infinite Frontier, Juni Ba is a good artist as shown with Truth and Justice
Batman and Robin #13 (Pick up)
Going strong in my opinion
Nightwing #114 (Pick Up)
One of the few Tom Talyor books i really enjoyed is ending ohff
Bird of Prey #9 (Pick up)
Kelly Thompson continues be a lovely surprise despite my cynical attitude when the roster was ounce. Still weird seeing Barbra & Cass team up without Stephine. Will get the cover art with Barbra and Cass (Christian Ward?)
Action Comic #1065 & Superman #14 (pick up)
It been a while since we got a Superman event and it nice see Superman fighting Brainiac after it feel like decades of every other media needing to poach off his rouges for a Justice league level threat and acting like he hasn't been able to fight them. It also great to see Kara and Conner lead the superfam after being shafted for Jon who now getting the receiving end of the stick oh how the tables have turn
Suicide Squad; Dream Team #5 (undecided)
will decide on the first issue weather to get or not since i like Dreamer I care nothing for post-new 52 Suicide Squad
Superman/Batman World Finest #27 (pick up)
Solid tittle
Wonder Woman #9 (nope)
So what are the consensus of King so far? Only seen the back Trinity-Super son parts and that nice. Will probably may check out after some feedback
Green Lantern #11 (pick up)
Been good so far nothing amazing
Suicide Squad: Kill Arkham Asylum #5 (Nope)
hard No. Nothing personal or shade towards either the writer or artist but i i ain't buying a prequel comic to a **** live service DoA game which encapsulate all the worst aspect of modern video games and Ayer Suicide Squad. **** that.
