This was just an all around good book. Right from the Ryan Sook cover. It was a great story by Marv Wolfman. And Jamal Igle, whom I'm hoping is the regular artist now, turns in a fantastic story. This is another guy who continually surprises me. I can't believe the leaps and bounds he's making as an artist. I'm sure he probably already has a following of fans, but this guy is truly going to be a superstar. Basically, Nightwing is after this gang. They've been abducting girls all over town. They're very well organized, almost military in their rhythm, and nobody's been able to get a lead on them. The one that is captured, before he can talk, his lawyer comes in to his hospital room and adds a poison, I guess, to his drip. All we know is that apparently they're lead by someone named Eddie. Actually we don't even know that until the final page, when Vigilante says so. Oh yeah . . . Vigilante is back this issue also. Another Marv Wolfman creation. It seems he's after the same gang, and the only reason he hasn't removed Nightwing, is because he really hasn't gotten in his way yet. But . . that may all change if he does. Nightwing does outsmart the gang, apparently, and follows them back to their hideout, where he finds and releases Liu. That's the woman they abducted, who happens to be a previous love interest of Dick's. He doesn't let on that he knows her, but she shows up a couple of days later at Bones, the gym he works at. He also thinks it's a little coincidental, but he's going to play it out just to see what she's up to. Plus he's really having a hard time getting past her. She's working for Eddie Hwang, who apparently was bad and has now gone legit. Is that the same Eddie that Vigilante is looking for? I would probably say yes. But we're going to have to wait a little while to see how this story plays out. I guess this is part of the story about the missing year. So we'll see what happens.
