Nightwing #146 - DC


I'm really enjoying this series. I wish Rags Morales could illustrate every issue, but, in his absence, Don Kramer is a more than adequate replacement. This issue wraps up the story with Creighton and Talia. Well . . not so much with Talia, but at least the Creighton part of it. He gets a little full of himself and when Talia comes to spot-check his new base, in the Hudson river, he takes her as a hostage. She had hired him to create an army for her . . for her defense, and Damian's, against her father. But, he was also serving his own purpose . . trying to create an army of winged warriors. Nightwing, of course, comes in and spoils everyone's plans and ends up taking Creighton down. With a little help from mother nature . . which is ironic because in reality she was his biggest adversary. Dick is definitely his own person. I feel, he no longer has to feel that he's working in the shadows of Batman. I think he's accomplished enough, and faced enough trials and tribulations to be the master of his own destiny. And now we get a double dose of him every month because he's back with the Titans in their new series. Also, sometimes, with the Outsiders. Peter J Tomasi is doing a fantastic job with this book. Right now, I don't feel that it could be in more capable hands.
