Nightwing #147 - DC


Peter J Tomasi is doing a fantastic job with this series. Dick is one of the cornerstones of the DC Universe, and the stories that are being presented here live up to the legacy that is Dick Grayson, Robin/Nightwing. I wish that Rags Morales could've stuck with the series a bit longer, but I'm also happy to see Don Kramer on this story-arc. And Rags did do the cover. Anyways, this issue, Dick makes a deal with the devil . . or rather, Two-Face. He presents it as an altruistic endeavor, trying to protect an assistant DA. But, you just know there's going to be more involved than Harvey's presenting. I'm sure he's keeping his cards close to his chest. Nightwing agrees, because there's innocents involved, but he still tells Harvey how he feels . . . "Y'know it'd be easier for everybody if you finally pick a side and stay on it!" As Nightwing swings away though, Harvey's response reveals he may be up to more than he let on . . . "Don't worry Nightwing. I always choose a side." Anyways, Dick lives up to his side of the bargain . . he protects Carol Bermingham . . she makes it to the trial in Gotham . . and he saves her life . . twice. But after the final save, on the last page, Dick's lying on the ground bleeding out from a gunshot wound. I'm wondering just what it is Harvey's up to ,but since this is only part 1 or 4 . . we're not going to get the answers right away. This is a fantastic character, and book. It's definitely deserving of being a part of the Batman library.
