And just when Nightwing finally feels like he's got his life in Blüdhaven under control--a murderer from his Gotham City days has arrived in his new city! How many people will die before he's stopped this time? Or worse than that...what if Dick can't stop him? Find all this and more in Nightwing: The Rebirth Deluxe Edition Book 3.

3.5-4.5: The Judge being some kind of immortal sea being was not what I expected
May 8, 2022
3.5 Stars
Pretty good volume. We have the return of Raptor which I liked, a story featuring a villain called the Judge which was okay, a one shot set in Japan which I didn't get, and a Nightwing/Robin/Arsenal team up issue that was very entertaining.
Overall another solid volume.

The first half of this finished Tim Seeley's run. Been flip flopping between good artist/mediocre artist with every other issue. It's infuriating. Otherwise I enjoyed it.
The Untouchable. Story covers first 7 issues of the new author run. Okay but the villain's back story is confused and seems to change as the story moves on. The art is too choppy and square with little definition in wide angled panels that need lots of detail.
Issue 42 (single story): Japanese style art and story. Dick saves Damian.
Issue 43 (single story): The Noble, The Obnoxious, and the Inept. I really enjoyed this one. The relationships and story were fun. The art was great. My favourite story of the issue.

Rating: 4/5
Reason: The thrilling conclusion to the DC Rebirth era of Nightwing makes no sloppy landing in this book. A harrowing tale of Nightwing that checks off all the items one could want in a superhero tale: action, drama, suspense, love, betrayal, intrigue, crime, warmth, and that classic Nightwing smile! As I have stated previously, other than Tom Taylor's run, this is my favorite iteration of Nightwing. The three deluxe books, or rather, the entirety of Tim Seeley's run of Nightwing is arguably the most cinematic the character has ever been. I don't think you could call yourself a true Nightwing fan if you haven't read this. Nor do I think you could call yourself one if you didn't love it.
Thank you for reading,

Notes: This comic was great, I finished it sooner than I had anticipated. There were quite a few different team-ups in this volume, which was just a bonus to see. The art style is excellent, I liked how everything seemed to be neatly detailed.
I really liked that this collection delved deeper into Nightwing’s backstory. Given all he’s been through - which is rather a lot - it just makes more sense now as to why he acts like he does. He almost always seems to have reasons for training more as well. His character is so nuanced that he isn’t really predictable at all, which is a good thing. I would highly recommend this comic if you’re interested from the description or are looking to read a really entertaining story.

Overall, just fine. The Raptor is an interesting anti-hero that bleeds into bad guy. But the supporting cast in this just isn't interesting.
The Judge was a cool baddie, but I still wasn't sure if the Judge MADE characters do it with his powers or if they just had something offered to them that was so good, they couldn't turn it down. I feel like there was a little of both.

The Raptor arc was weak, maybe because I don't particularly care for the supporting cast. The Untouchable arc was surprisingly engaging and nicely creepy, and I also enjoyed the standalone chapters, especially the Japanese-influenced one.

Didn't like this one as much as the first two deluxe editions. I'm unsure if I want to continue with Nightwing. As much as I like him and his relationship with Damian, I don't really care for most of his villains or other characters. We'll see how I feel.

The filler issues were just okay but both main arcs were pretty good. With the Judge storyline really winning me over.

Starts okay then keeps going downhill. The "I thought Netflix & chill was a cafe in Bludhaven" line from #43 made me throw up in my mouth.

Finally, a Nightwing comic I actually liked! The second half with the Judge was way better than the first half with Raptor.
