Well, I was a bit surprised by Chief Rebhorns death. I'm not surprised that someone killed him, I'm just shocked they killed him after 74 issues!I enjoyed the issue overall though, especially Dick/Nightwing and Amy's convo up on the roof. "Tradition" that was pretty funny! :) Can't wait for next months, looks like the cop issue will get resolved.

This issue got me in to the story from start to finish. I like how they ended the "Something About Mary" story line, and I like the direction that this book is going in. I really liked this issue, and I can't wait till the next one!

Long Live the team of Devin Grayson and Rick Leonardi! A great arc to start off what I hope is an extremely long tenure on this title. There were so many great moments throughout all 4 issues!!! Dick getting caught at the Eifel Tower (sp???) his - interaction with Oracle - rooftop meeting with Amy was classic - the "Tradition" line is one for the ages.

Devins narration of Dick's thoughts is incredibly right on - its like she was destined to write Nightwing. The artwork has been excellent - although no one can draw the Flying Grayson like Scott McDaniel ;)

I love Devin Grayson! She is really the extra touch this series needed. I love this issue, it had such great characterization. I really didn't expect Redhorn to be dead, that was a twist for me. The ending was the best, I was wondering what would become of Amy finally figuring out about a vigilante being in the area, and I didn't expect Nighting would meet with her so soon! All I can really think about is the characterization, I liked it so much, I think I'll go read it again!

It's just as good if not better the second time :p :D

Hmm, guess I stand alone on this issue. I didn't really care for it. It just didn't seem to have much flare to me, and Nightwing kind of felt like a cheap Batman wannabe or knockoff. This whole storyline just didn't really keep me interested. I generally really enjoy Devin's work, but this just missed the mark for me. I'm hoping the next storyline will be better.

Always respect you opinions and posts Clayface - but to categorize Nightwing as a cheap wanna-be Batman is just flat-out wrong.

Batman/Bruce will ALWAYS be Nightwing/***** mentor. Its the classic Father and son story/scenario. Batmans legacy will always live on through Nightwing and he is just incorporating what he has learned from Batman his whole entire life into his own work as Bludhavens defender. The line "Tradition" said it all - Its a total compliment and tribute to his mentor. I've been waiting for Dick to establish and inside contact with the BPD much like Bats had with Gordon.

Plus - this arc may have lacked some "excitement/action" so to speak - but it really has set the stage for some big things going down in the Haven with Redhorns death and that little journal that Amy now holds. The BPD is in for a big shocker there and don't forget Mr. Blockbuster!!!!

Oh no, you misunderstand me. :( Let me try to clarify. Part of what I like about Nightwing is that he has that Batman background and training, but he's his own guy, with his own style and flare. I am not in any way calling the character a Batman wanna-be. What I'm saying was in this particular story that's exactly how he came across to me, which is why I wasn't thrilled with this story.

OH - OK - gotcha :D You are back on the x-mas card list :D

I guess I'm just a big Devin fan! :p
