This Week's Comics: Nightwing, Dr. Strange

[sdelmonte]

As promised, the other half...

Nightwing 127 - Our hero has been left for dead and buired six feet under. Can he get his act together long enough to escape? Wolfman plays with narrative structure and our expectations of Mr. Grayson in this very effective installment. Flashback and narration are both used quite well. i think that this book is in good hands.

Doctor Strange: The Oath 3 - We learn that the villain of the story is the doctor who operated on Dr. Strange's hands all those years ago, and that he's also a sorcerer. Otherwise, while the script and art are strong, there isn't really much happeneing here. It's a vintage BKV script without out much purpose. Still, it's 60% finished, so why not stick it out?

Of course Nightwing is in good hands. It's being written by Marv Wolfman! And thank Ghu for it.

There was a stretch in the 90s when he wasn't so great. Hi slate Titans works was especially meh. Glad to see he's past that.

Also very pleased by Nightwing. It's so rare that we get to see Bruce as the, um, what was it again? World's Greatest Detective? And we get to see Dick as his best student even less.

Good hands, indeed.
