NIGHTWING #138
Written by Fabian Nicieza
Art by Don Kramer and Wayne Faucher
You can always count on Fabian Nicieza to deliver the goods. If I was a betting man, I'd wager this was the best issue of Nightwing, and the best Dick's been portrayed, in years. He's funny. He's competent. You couldn't ask for a better Nightwing. Hopefully DC realizes this and sticks Fabian on this book full time.
Seeing as this is the second part of the Resurrection of Ra's al Ghul, I guess I should talk about that storyline. This issue gives the event a major kick in the pants and has finally got me excited for this story. This issue features all kinds of ninja canonfodder, comical relief in the form of the three lovely ladies featured on the cover and lots of quipping and fun interplay between Dick and Tim as they take every opportunity to diss Damian as they crack ninja skulls.
On top of all that fun action, Fabian manages to progress Batman's plot with some excellent exchanges between he and Talia and we even get to see more of the mysterious Sensei's plot to kill Ra's for good. All in all, you couldn't ask for anything better than this issue.
Verdict - Must Read. It does everything right in this multi-title crossover event and it's easily the best Nightwing issue in a long time. If you ask me, and you did since you're reading this, even if you don't care for the Resurrection story, this is still a must read issue for anyone, as it's just too much fun not to get.
