Nightwing: Fear State by Tom Taylor
5.0
While Redondo's art was sorely missed (like, a lot), this was a lot of fun. We see Gotham going through a police state, deepfake moment which, while not particularly interesting, ties back into whatever's happening elsewhere and gives us some nice moments between Dick and Tim. Barbara is also there a lot and gets suited up which is fun. In fact, the plot is mostly Babs' if we're being honest, but I enjoy seeing her on her feet so much that I can overlook her overshadowing Dick.
We get a nice bit involving Jason and his relationship with Dick and finally a Christmas issue which brings us "A Christmas Carol" by way of some extremely potent Fear Toxin. I'm always up for some Batfamily moments and this volume has plenty of those, but doesn't move the overall Nightwing plot along much. I don't mind because it's a nice little collection with some fairly innocuous stakes and has great dialogue with plenty of banter. Highly recommend!
