Agreed. I'm just hoping the whole Batman R.I.P. doesn't completely distract from where everything was going with Nightwing...

I hope it won't as well. The RIP crossover is only 2 issues I think, and as Batman has hardly been in this book I'm guessing it'll just be a couple of scenes to tie it in. Again, Tomasi better not leave this book anytime soon!

fyi - Its 4 issues (147-150).

Looking forward to this, Nightwing has been awesome lately ... and it's been a while since I've been able to say that!

It's weird that this issue apparently features Talia... who's supposed to have a part to play in Morrison's story... yet this issue isn't branded with "RIP". I guess that means Talia can't be too major of a catalyst for "RIP", then. I guess she isn't part of the Black Glove if Morrison/DC is fine with letting her appear in Nightwing at this point in time.

@flapjaxx - Talia's been part of NIGHTWING for months.

@flapjaxx - I didn't know that every issue that comes out on a given Wednesday actually happens on the exact same day in the DCU. Interesting.
The story here was interesing and I like Talia's role, but good lord was the art bad. That is the worst drawn Batman I have seen in a long time. His visible face is a white blob with stubble. It is better than I could ever hope to do, but not good enough to be in a comic of this caliber.

I really like the Talia/Nightwing dynamic, I'd love to see her regularly cross paths with Dick.
I think she'd make a good foil for him.

Good to see the list of artists is shorter this month, although I still really liked the last issue. The change in art style was a bit jarring, but the story was strong enough to pave over that. As long as Tomasi stays on this book I've got faith.
