Product Description: Dick Grayson was the first Robin, the teen sidekick to the Dark Knight, Batman. Then he became Nightwing and stepped out of Batmans shadow. The story behind that transformation and how it affected Batman, the Teen Titans and Dick himself is explored in this graphic novel. When Batman fires Robin, an angry Dick Grayson is unsure of where to go. On his journey, he receives advice from Superman and aid from Deadman, and makes the decisions that lead him to become a brand new crimefighter.
Dick Grayson is an unfaithful mess, who would cheat on the woman he would later attempt to marry with Barbara Gordon if Babs didn't have the morals that she did.
Dick Grayson is a pathetic mess who bullies children.
Dick Grayson is a sad creature who doesn't know what to do without Batman dictating his life.
This is pretty awful. Chuck Dixon is the worst thing that has ever happened to the character of Nightwing, as he took someone who was pretty awesome and made him a spineless jerk. Dixon spends the whole volume trying to erase every ounce of Nightwing's Titans history.
Sorry, Chuckie, you're just not that good. Thank God DC had the smarts to fire you.
Great story, Great characters, Great adventure! GREAT! This is a must have for Robin/Nightwing fans. The story fills in some great details on Dick's transition from "Boy Wonder" to "Man Wonder".
Every character has their own voice and familiar characterization. Dick is brave and resourceful, Alfred is caring, Batman is callous and Jason Todd is a brat. The linear nature of the story is wonderful, not wasting time in re-caps and histories, but going forward with a great adventure.
The only drawback is the blocky, cartoony nature of the artwork, but the story is so well-written you hardly notice it.
coming of age NIghtwing Year One is really a coming of age story. Dick Grayson grows up and this details his break with Batman and changing from Robin to Nightwing. Nightwing has always been a favorite of mine, though that probably relates to how big of a Batman fan I am. And I loved the artwork, with its thick lines and heavy blacks.
Good way to start nightwing series I read this recently, and it was worth it. both the writing and the drawings are good.
