Dan Watters' Nightwing run is turning out to be so unusual, such a mishmash of genres and approaches, I’m not quite sure if it’s good yet because I’m still trying to figure out what it is.

Here’s one where I’d be interested to read the series pitch to get some insight into Watters' conception of Nightwing or what he wanted to explore (could maybe go look for an interview, too). So far we’ve had a somewhat typical Nightwing gang war plot tangled up with something supernatural; now, with Nightwing Vol. 2: Death Traps, Watters adds crime noir (with artist Francesco Francavilla, no less!), wacky sci-fi, even some unexpected comics meta-commentary.
