Dull would probably be the word that comes to mind for this run.

It's not horrible, or truly bad, or crappy, or ruining my childhood. It's just okay. And maybe in itself that's sad, seeing as Dick is one of the better characters in the DC Universe.

This is just okay. So Dick is trying to fit into Chicago life. He even moves into a new place and gets a roommate, with ex-roommate almost killing him and potentially being a romance option down the line, because of course. Then this volume really focuses on Nightwing verses Prankster. Because that sounds so fun, right? Wrong.

Between the boring villain, the side stories of most of these lame supporting cast, and the sluggish pacing I barely wanted to finish this volume. Save for some solid art and great chase scenes this series is turning into a chore to finish. Debating even reading volume 5 (Which would end Higgins run on the character).

A 2 out of 5.
