Review: Nightwing Vol. 1: On With the Show hardcover/paperback (DC Comics)

Nightwing Vol. 1: On With the Show

I really liked Dan Watters' Arkham City: The Order of the World, with art by Dani, a book you should go pick up if you haven’t already. Subsequent works I’ve read by Watters have been hit or miss, but I remain hopeful for another book by Watters with the horror-infused superheroics of Arkham City.

No doubt it’s a tough thing to follow the Eisner-winning Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo on Nightwing; Watters and artist Dexter Soy start a foot behind in Nightwing Vol. 1: On With the Show simply by not being who preceded them. In my final total, I do think Watters delivers something passable; it is not Taylor nor Arkham City, but neither did I think Watters did much harm, which may be the most you can hope for in this kind of situation.1
