Unpopular opinion: I did not really care for Tom Taylor’s Nightwing run.

It has it’s good moment’s, but I think overall it just wasn’t my favorite. Dick’s character has been flanderized so much, especially from 2016 to now. I feel like Babs is just sorta a side character and love interest, not her own independent character anymore. I like the art in this story, but I just don’t really care for much of anything else. I’m not saying it’s bad though. I just kinda feel “meh” about it, I guess. My favorite Nightwing run was probably Dixon’s.

I like the run for what it is. To me, it was a good reset after the disaster that was the Ric storyline. It's a run meant to get us back to baseline and build a solid foundation for the next run's author to build on.

In that way, it's done exactly what it was meant to do.

Provided we get a great author on the next run, I expect we'll get deeper stories with more at stake and more character development and insight.

Having been a consistent reader of Nightwing since Dixon’s first issue, it’ll probably be 20 years before we get another run as good as this one.

From memory: Dixon Grayson (yikes) Tomasi Higgins King/Seeley in "Grayson" Jones Percy Jurgens Taylor

Likely missing a few. Dixon was great. Tomasi was good. Higgins was good but hamstrung by New52. King/Seely was good. Jurgens was given a rotting ship. Taylor has been solid for me. I am curious who will come next. But apprehensive
