Marv Wolman is leading us through a merry chase here. First he brought back Liu and Eddie. They were around when Dick first try to spread his wings, as it were, from the Batman shadow. He wanted to strike out on his own, and he thought he had all the answers. Unfortunately he landed with a bunch of people, specifically Liu and Eddie, who manipulated his situation in to trying to use him to get to Bruce Wayne. Luckily, he figured out what was going on before they could cause to much damage. But now, they're back. Also the Vigilante is back. It's not the same one as before. The first or the second. However, this one does seem to have some kind of tie to Adrian Chase, the first. And he's also taken JJ, Nightwings aide and helper, with him. That has some significance, but I'm not sure what it is yet. Nightwing is much more mature now, and while he misses Liu, he has not forgotten the past and has not dismissed that she may be trying to use him again. Vigilante is also after them, which is how he and Dick have crossed paths. We learn by the end of this issue that they are indeed trying to use Dick, but not entirely for his Bruce connection. They have broken in to Wayne Pharmaceuticals, but to steal a sample of Dick's DNA. What's that all about? Well, we aren't going to find out this issue. But Nightwing and Vigilante are hot on their tails, so next issue should be . . . revealing. I'm not a big fan of Jon Bosco's art. Mainly because I'm not a big fan of anime. And Jon's stuff lends itself to an anime influence. But . . it's ok. It worked with this story. However, the Ryan Sook cover was beautiful.
