Nightwing Vol. 8: Lethal Force
by Chuck Dixon
This series kind of went out on a whimper.
What happened? I know this is around the time Dixon departed DC but he was setting up his big returns of his baddies and they never did anything.
Also this book was hit with crossover fever as almost half of it was consumed by either Bruce Wayne Murderer? Event or some Joker event I never read (Is this empire joker?) Either way it was confusing to see Nightwing being a police officer and doing his thing, and next issue fighting weird Joker-lookalikes, and then him "I killed Joker I'm no good" without context. If nothing else the event sounds fun but the way it was placed in here is confusing.
The art sometimes is great, stylish, and fun. Other times I couldn't tell what the fuck was happening. The stories range from lighthearted and good but it also felt like Dixon was just spinning his wheels doing generic bad guys on the corner beatem up stories.
This could have been way better and not happy this was the final volume in a otherwise good-great run.
