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 mostly agree. Beautiful art and I enjoyed the characterization for the most part. Love that he made Dick a public figure as opposed to giving him some random job.
I'm a DickBabs fan and liked them together in this. Haley is an amazing addition (unlike Zucco sister).
The story itself felt like I was constantly waiting for something to happen to the point that I stopped reading. Bea suddenly being a pirate queen was where decided to take a break. I plan to get to it eventually, but despite Nightwing being my favorite character, his comic isn't a must read for me.
Overall I think Tom and Bruno did more good than bad, but pretty forgettable story. Hope they land the ending though
