Nightwing: The New Order by Kyle Higgins
4.0

New Order was different than what I expected and yet I really enjoyed it, this is by far Kyle Higgins best comic I've read so far. I'll even give his Nightwing run another chance now.

So what is new Order? A elseworld story where Nightwing has taken powers away from 90% of super humans. In this new world there is far less crime, or mass murder, and it's been "better" but is it really? Everyone is tense, they are using "cures" on people with powers, and worse of all locking some up when they can't get the cure. But Dick is focused on his son and creating a safer world but soon that begins to crack when an unlikely person forms powers.

It's a new world...or old world been a lot of cool ideas. Dick is still himself, and it's nice to see how he interacts with friends in a normal way you would after changing the world. A lot of great designs here, the art is top notch, with some great fights. I also enjoyed the pacing, very quick, and a bit more brutal than I expected. The negative would probably come from some of it feeling rushed at points though.

However, The New Order is easily a Nightwing book you must read. It stays true to his character and makes him a star once more. A 4 out of 5.
