The Comic
Holy artist change, Batman!
Very cartoony. Seriously, Batgirl, the special guest star, has legs longer than her whole upper torso. Seriously.
The art is very dark, and at times it is difficult to understand what is going on. The two female characters featured in this issue look exactly the same. If one didn't acknowledge the other by name then there is no way I could tell them apart. Oh, and one has a ponytail.
This issue plays as a way to catch up the reader to what has happened in the first three issues by bringing in the special guest star. This works well until the end which just throws me for a loop even more, and I've read the first three issues.
I said I was done last issue, but then I saw that Batgirl was in this issue and I wanted to see how she was handled outside of her own title. She is much more formidable in this comic than her own comic, and apparently a little more flexible.
I'm sorry, I can't say much more. Everything with this book is just not for me.
The Cover
Can you tell who the evil Nightwing is supposed to be? If you are going to have two different Nightwings on the cover and want to distinguish who is good and evil by their eyes, make sure that you can see both sets of eyes, or how else do you think I can tell who is evil? Just by the red eyes?
Grades
Words: 5/10
Pictures: 4/10
Recommend: If you want to give it a try, it is a good enough issue that catches you up to speed and lets you know if you like it or not.
Buy Next Issue: Not I.
