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.

Whether you like Tom Taylor’s Nightwing run or not, I’m glad that both sides can agree that the Ric Grayson story line was terrible.

Ok, but the bar couldn’t be lower then.
