Nightwing #126 - DC

Ok Marv Wolfman and Dan Jurgens are back together again, as they are the new creative team on this book. Marv has a pretty good feel for Nightwing too, as he wrote the Titans for all those years. But now he's dealing with a grown up Dick, living in midtown Manhattan. Well apparently Dick is getting in some one's way. He's got this scientist from Biotech, which they later found out was part of Lexcorp, that he's trying to protect, but at the same time try to use as bait to bring out either this Raptor guy, pictured on the cover, or this mysterious assassin that's going around killing everyone associated with Biotech. Well, somehow, the assassin still gets to the scientist. But, not before Dick, and his cohort J.J., get a couple of names from him. Dick also goes to the guys funeral to talk to his wife, and gets some information from her also. Well then this assassin takes out this Raptor guy, he does it with some kind of laser pointer that burns or fry his victims. And we learn that Nightwing is next on his list. The assassin gets a call from his mysterious benefactor, says that he thinks Nightwing is getting to close, the guy says he'll pay him $2mil to take out Nightwing, the assassin says he can't do it for less that $6mil, and he gets the ok. So it's obviously someone with a lot of money. Now as you can probably tell from my description, there's a lot going on, but, it's kind of boring. I know these guys just took over, and they have to get Dick going on another story arc, but, this one just didn't pull me in. I love Nightwing. And, I like all the creators. But, they seem to be off to a very slow start. And they really didn't use any of the supporting characters, except for Alfred, for a few panels. Somehow they need to get us to buy into this characters and his adventures a little better. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, because I like the character, but I really hope that this storyline gets more exciting in the future. And please work on his base of supporting characters.
