From NetGalley: Kyle Higgins sends Nightwing to the Windy City to track down his parent's killer!
After the Joker's attack on the Bat-family, Nightwing finds himself in a new setting with an unlikely ally, The Prankster. Together they are being hunted by the mysterious Mask Killer while Dick tries to find the man who killed his parents, Tony Zullo. Twists and surprises are at every turn in this exciting new chapter of Nightwing!
Kyle Higgins, my favorite Nightwing writer, took him out from under the shadow of Batman and made Nightwing into his own hero. The struggles with finding out that Tony Zucco was still alive and tracking him down helped define Nightwing. The additional change of moving to Chicago also gave him a whole new environment to make his own. Higgins is a master of plotting and characterization. Dick Grayson sounds right when his dialogue is scripted by Higgins. And the art is amazing. Booth, Rapmund, and Conrad all do a fantastic job of bringing the scripts to life.
Highly recommended. If you are any kind of Nightwing fan, pick up and read all of the Higgins collections.
