Nothing groundbreaking. Didn't like the way Percy portrayed Nightwing. Most of what has gone before is forgotten apart from him being in Bludhaven. And Barbara is back as his girl of choice. By the time this volume finishes in 49 issues Dick has been involved with 4 women. And yet none of these relationships have the same quality or depth as those he has with Wally or Roy in the one shots of this series. (I see shades of Iceman in Dick's behaviour. Just saying.)Back to this volume, the storyline...

This was painful to get through. Bad plot. Bad dialogue, nothing like I would expect from the guy who wrote the pretty damn good green arrow.

A different type of story for Nightwing.

Best Parts:1. Dick being a grumpy old grandpa about tech making human interactions less common and Barbara unrepentantly laughing at him about it. 2. The mobile batbunker, courtesy of Barbara Gordon, and Dick's excited squees at the customized Dick Grayson specials, which includes a excercise belt for the glutes (the best ass in dcu doesn't come cheap).3. Detective Svobeda is the absolute best. She's a female version of the Harvey Bullock- misanthrope overweight cop who's one part competent dete...

I was hoping for a Green Arrow redux scenario after Percy's turn on that book. What we got instead was a crap story mixing up random tech and pop culture. The big bad here is some computer virus-y thing named Wyrm. His big plot is to give every business in Bludhaven some kind of augmented reality rig so their place can look nicer. It's a really dumb idea that makes no sense. In reality he's using AR to control people. There's so much other nonsense to come out of this like a human getting sucked...

[Read as single issues]It’s a new creative team and new threats for Nightwing, with Bludhaven under attack from all sides as technology runs riot, and even Batgirl’s assistance might not be enough for him to save his city. Then it’s the race from hell as Nightwing blazes trails with the lives of his newest friends hanging in the balance.Ben Percy’s Nightwing run is a weird one. It was cut short after issue 50, with Percy leaving abruptly (I assume because he didn’t want to write the story DC wan...

Nightwing Vol 7 is fine. It wears its flaws on it sleeve with its poor characterization of Dick Grayson and its, frankly bizarre for 2018, anti technology vibe. The opening pages of the first issue have Dick lament how technology is everywhere and he's the kinda guy who would use a landline instead of a cell. To my knowledge, this has never been a trait applied to Dick and doesn't make a whole lot of sense. In previous stories by different writers, Dick has used advanced technology a number of t...

So Ben Percy took over Nightwing and although I had enjoyed the Nightwing run so far , Percy's arrival had me giddy with anticipation and honestly excited . Alas!So the volume had 2 stories , the first dealing with a Computer virus thingy named Wyrm , and look I really enjoyed how Percy denoted the present generations over dependence on every thing technology and how different things are and in doing so he created a story to detail a hyperbole of negativity that arises from our over dependence o...

There were aspects of this volume I liked: (I did like issue #44, so there was a strong start...)The art. Dick's internal dialogue in #44. His joke about Detective Svoboda and Bullock hitting it off. I also liked the one second where Dick was hallucinating a morning after with Babs in issue #45. But. Everything else was just so disappointingly weak. Dick as a personal trainer is just all awkward dialogue (worst Dick Grayson profession to date), his "old man" attitude reads kinda silly, and even

More Percy's Teen Titans than Green Arrow.World: The art is okay, it's not that great cause for the most part the art is trying to be Romita Jr (and they even had Romita Jr. do some alternate covers) and not doing that good of a job. Just get Romita Jr. The issue with Otto Smidt which partnered with Percy for Green Arrow is so beautiful to look at. The world building here is okay, there are moments of greatness and moments of logic leaps readers needs to take and there are moments it's slapped t...

3/5Dick is one of my favourite DC characters and so far Rebirth wasn't treating him right – the only volume I enjoyed so far was the one written by Humphries. I had high hopes for Percy as I liked his Green Arrow run but unfortunately his Nightwing didn't rock my world. It wasn't that bad but it never gave me the thrill that my favourite Nightwing comics do. I wasn't really that much into grandpa Dick who's so against technology, I never really perceived him as such so it didn't resonate with me...

Two thirds of the book is a decent follow-up to the last storyline. The final third is a ridiculous fantasyland with no real purpose or point.

Read as single issues when they were released. This was the beginning of the end.

2.5 this started out okay but then spiraled into ridiculous bs.

Not that impressed with this one.

So this volume had a lot going on. Even though I don't really care for stories where the moral seems to be "technology is bad, and younger generations should feel bad", I think this plays with the idea of misinformation as a super villain really well.Towards the end it starts to get a bit more chaotic; turning into something like Speed Racer mixed with Tron mixed with Ready Player One, which is a bit outside of the realm I usually like members of the Bat family to inhabit. But over all it was st...

Suddenly, Nightwing hates all technology, but not...gets a landline and loses his cellphone...except for when he has a commlink? Also, the use of code questions was brought up, but he didn’t use them before to clear up a situation instantly....what is this. I did not hate the big bad of this, just felt silly and awkward. Oh, there is a wacky races of Nightwing’s villains during his time as Batman. Sigh.

While it may hit you over the head with the point several times, it's still an engaging look into the mind of Dick Grayson and the world we live in today.

This volume targets the internet, social media, and fake news for criticism. However, it does it in a heavy-handed way within a story that doesn't make much sense. On top of that, add cringy dialogue and you have an unreadable mess. Give this a pass if you value your time.

Wow. I mean, wow. This was bad. One of the best things I can say is that the bleeding edge tech storyline reminded me of some of the mid 90s marvel stories right when the internet was starting up. Those stories are incredibly dated now, and I’m sure this will be, soon. And then it just got worse. From tech paranoia to a mystic race? It was just horrible. I was worried about reading this after percy’s bad green arrow issues. He doubled down. Just making up HUGE NEW THINGS from nowhere. And sudden...
