#having travis moore illustrate the ric grayson arc was beyond cruel

Are you a big Nightwing comic book fan? And if so how would you suggest someone get started with Nightwing comics. I’ve loved the character Dick Grayson from Teen Titans and YJ for years but have no idea which comics to start with.

Generally the Nightwing runs are not great. I have read every issue of every volume, and Dick is just rarely at his best in his own solos. His Batman runs are better than his solo nightwing runs and he is always at his best with the Titans or in crossovers. It is where DC has severely screwed up on any opportunity to make Dick the hero he should be portrayed to be. If they would give him the writing he deserves in his solo, he could be one of the top heroes, although it may be 20 years too late for that...

I like Tomasi's run from Nightwing vol 2 the best, but generally just start with Nightwing vol 2 #1 by Chuck Dixon. There are a lot of flaws with his writing and he is the one who made Dick a c*p, but he kind of defined who Dick is in modern terms. So much of his character and interpretation came from there. The best decision, regarding the Nightwing runs, that DC has ever made was having Travis Moore illustrate some. The bad part of that was they had him illustrate the Ric Grayson arc which is easily the worst arc of his ever 😠

Would you mind pointing me in the right direction of Travis Moor's run on Nightwing? And/or any other reccomendations for comics you like? Travis Moor's art is beautiful from what I've seen

Travis Moore's art is something I will never be over. It is stunning. He worked on Nightwing Vol 4 #50, 51, 53, 57, 58, 68, 75, 77, but not always the full issue. He also did a lot of the covers between 50-77.

In regards to comics I like, there are a few DC are putting out that are so good-

Trial of the Amazons just concluded which is a crossover event of 5 titles and will shape the Wonder Women universe with major implications, I am excited for the Artemis one shot and Nubia coronation specials that are the aftermath of the event

DC vs Vampires of course

Blue & Gold just finished if you enjoy Ted Kord (Blue Beetle) qnd Booster Gold and just absolute nonsense. It is a fun run.

Task Force Z is currently the best version of Jason Todd who is leading a suicide squad of zombies

Wonder Woman Historia is amazing. It tells of the history and lore of Themyscira

Batman Beyond the White Knight is a continuation of Sean Murphy's White Knight series and I am highly anticipating every issue

Batman the Knight has been flawless and continues to highlight Chip Zdarsky on top of his game and showcases why he is one of the best writers and about to take over Batman (a run I am highly excited for!) It is Batman before he was Batman showing his journey to hone his skills

The Shadow War event is a crossover, that while not particularly good, is interesting at the least. It is about the death of Ra's al Ghul and Damian's maternal side of the family following the death tournament in Robin

The Flash with Wally at the helm has been fun and mostly batfam free which is refreshing

Batman Gotham Nights is a fun run with individual stories about Gotham and the batfam. It is not a continuous story so you can start at any issue or read just one by itself so no big commitment or plot to remember

Batman Superman World's Finest is Batman and Dick as Robin working with Superman. It is 2 issues in and the art by Dan Mora is the only contender that competes with Travis Moore for top tier Dick Grayson art- I am obsessed

Aquaman Andromeda starts June 7th and I have it marked, ready to read. Fingers crossed it is good

I am reading many more, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend them. I am just trying to stay in the loop. There are also new series and cross overs starting all the time. I hope this helps 😁
