- Title: Nightwing #118
- Comic Vine: link
- Writer: Tom Taylor
- Artist: Bruno Redondo
“Fallen Grayson” concludes with our hero taking on Heartless first as Dick Grayson (publicly shattering his smear campaign) and later as Nightwing. While we get appearances by the Bat-Family and their search for the missing children, most of this happens off panel with the focus of the comic back on its star and the criminal who has attempting to take everything from him. Hell, the baddies even deny Dick getting justice for his parents and shooting Dick’s dog!
Nightwing #118 is a solid conclusion to the arc with Nightwing returning healed and out for justice rather than vengeance. After taking Heartless down, we also get a nice epilogue featuring Dick returning to his parents’ grave along with Barbara for some closure to the arc which weaved in Dick’s origin as well. Despite clearing his name, and putting the villain behind him (even going so far as to call on his friends work to keep the memory of Heartless from overstaying its welcome), it will be interesting to see what lasting effects there may be as a new creative team takes over.
