Nightwing is on a mission to find his girlfriend Shawn Tsang. Professor Pyg has his army of demented doppelgangers, including Deathwing(who is figuring out what side he is on).
There is so much more going on in this book than that little blurb I included. This is the finale in what has been an emotional roller coaster of a story. Nightwing has been hot on the trail of finding his girlfriend(who also may be pregnant). Robin(Damian Wayne) is tagging along as he is upset that many feel that Nightwing is the heir apparent to the Batman helm. Plus you get to throw in layers of bad guys and top layer bad guys taking out the bottom layer of bad guys. Tim Seeley did a masterful job with this story line. I'm so glad Superman recommended Bludhaven as a destination for Nightwing(issue #9).
The Nightwing series is wonderful since we have a steady writer in Tim Seeley. The one thing I wish it had is a steady artist. Everyone who has worked on this series has been very good, but I feel like it would be that much better with the same artist. Javier Fernandez did very nice work in this particular comic book. He gave it a very gritty look which is something I that definitely works when it comes to the street level heroes. Chris Sotomayer's colors were excellent as well. The scenery was dark but Nightwing's blue and Deathwing's red really popped nicely.Nightwing is one of my absolute favorite comic books going. I look forward to each issue. Tim Seeley is writing Nightwing/Dick Grayson the way a hero should be written. Nightwing is a hero full of hope, even when that hope can backfire. He looks for the good and fights to keep that good alive. The looking for the good in people works out to Dick Grayson's advantage as Shawn Tsang, his girlfriend, was a villain who was known as The Defacer(it's not as bad as it sounds, she just spray painted artwork).
