This really is the platonic ideal of a Nightwing comic—playful, endlessly charming, wholesome to a fault. There are very few stakes to speak of, and none of the tension lands, but it's such a breezy collection of superhero adventures with pitch-perfect character writing that it's nothing less than a delight to read. Taylor's villains are still lackluster, so don't expect that to change. The series' success thus far is entirely due to how perfectly Taylor gets Dick Grayson's character. I hope there's some meatier development or conflict for him to deal with at some point, but until then, it's not like I'm opposed to seeing Nightwing take down street-level baddies and hang out with his friends.

The other star of the series is Bruno Redondo, who is just killing it on the art front with the book. The much-talked-about "one-take" issue is one of the funniest single issues of a comic I've read in ages. Redondo's art is spectacular, and the full-page spreads are a glorious showcase of all his best qualities as an artist. The momentum, energy, colors—the whole issue is a rush of vibrant personality. Even the final issues with guest artist Geraldo Borges are fun and maintain the same vibrancy and character that Redondo has so effectively developed for the series.

A banger of a comic with some of the best "Saturday Morning Cartoon" vibes out there.
