Is the Luke fox batwing run any good? Never actually read it..
I think it's pretty fun, its by Jimmy Palmiotti. Basically the conceit was the Luke is a brash but very intelligent and athletic 20 something who gets in fights with his father because he wants to see the world and adventure, though the later half of the book as it ends is about his turbulent family relationship as he plays superhero.
In terms of Batfamily relationship, he's there but hes more on the side of things like Huntress.

Don't know about good, but I hate some of the decisions such as making his unique synesthetic bully-victim friend an edgy villain that caused his sister to OD and become a vegetable. Rebirth undo that and make Tamara Fox a surgeon in Gotham Mercy Hospital that helps Catwoman, mercifully
going back and reading it, it was more solid than I gave it credit for the first time I read it (I was very mad about David Zavimbe back then). I think Luke and his familial connection gives him a unique distinction from other Bats. when I read it back I get the interpretation that Luke is a somewhat idealized version of who Bruce could've been if his parents didn't die. it's like Bruce inspiring himself in a weird way and I don't know if that's what they were going for, but I think there is something interesting to be said there. I would say check it out. it won't blow your mind but it's a fun read.

Beard Luke as Iron Bat was really cool. And I thought that Tynion gave him a lot of cool character, and really wish he'd gotten his own arc. Ah, well. Lack of space.
The Batwing and Azrael, Agents of Colony, were really interesting, but sadly underused.

I'm looking forward to Ridley's miniseries about Luke as Batman. Even if its only an elseworlds i hope it gives him a chance to write Luke as Batwing in a future solo. Maybe he could bring over some concepts from one story to the other?
I'm really annoyed that even though they've known about this for a LONG time, they've spent no time building Luke up as a character or his relationship with Bruce. This is the way that DC is going to make fans dislike Luke, and as a fan of Luke, that makes me so frustrated.

When we first ran the story in 2019, the value of Luke Fox's first appearance rocketed to $90 and above on eBay. After that without any supporting news, and with the departure of 5G creator Dan DiDio, and the word that 5G was being abandoned by DC Comics, the value dropped. But after DC Fandome, it took off like a rocket again. These are confirmed eBay sales in the past week.
Batwing #19 and Batwing #20 together, both CGC 9.8, $1000.
Batwing #19 CGC 9.8 $500
Batwing #19 and Batwing #20 together, raw, $325.
Batwing #19 raw $300.
Batwing #20 CGC 9.2 $150
Batwing #20 raw $125.
