This is really turning out to be a great book. Peter J Tomasi is turning in some interesting scripts. This one looks to have a fair amount of intrigue and espionage to it. But, what I also like is that he's giving Dick a more upbeat, "glass half full", kind of attitude. It good to see him get out of that depressing slump he's been in lately. It really comes across as if he's grabbing life by the horns. He's on his own in Manhattan now. And he's about to get his very own base of operations. There's a museum up in Washington Heights, called the Cloisters, that also has an abandoned Monastery. Well, as it turns out, the building and land is owned by Wayne Enterprises. And they're in need of a new Curator, as their current one is retiring. This is where Nightwing is going to set up shop. Ironically, since it's the highest point in Manhattan . . altitude wise . . it'll almost be as if he's overlooking the city. And he's about to get his first adventure. There's a string of robberies that have been occurring on the East coast, in museums, that Dick has decided to try to go after. But he's thrown right in when he stops at the Cloisters right as one is occurring. But with all the antiquities around them, all they're after is the body of a dead Knight. Also . . Dick's not aware of it yet . . . but there's a series of body snatching going on at the same time. They're stealing cadavers out of cemetaries, but nobody knows it yet because they're tunnelling in from underneath. In the beginning of the book, it doesn't seem like this is connected to the Museums, but, by the end I'm almost convinced it is. Oh . . did I mention that Rags Morales and Michael Bair are on the art chores now? If not, I am remiss, because it is a fantastic looking book. These two artists styles compliment each other very well. If this is a look at the future . . then this book is in great hands.
