Nightwing #139 Review

This issue felt like total filler. On top of that, it's predictable and I think the only purpose of it was to give a random Robin versus Nightwing battle, but even that fight was pretty much a dud, as it wasn't even something I'd call a fight.

Basically, Robin is tempted to use the Lazerus Pit or, at least, try to take a sample back to help him bring back Superboy, Spoiler and his father. Nightwing tries to stop him, with his fists and, later, with words. In the end, he let's Robin decide whether he wants to do it or not and Robin pours the vials out.

But what about Ra's and Batman and all this resurrection nonsense? Well, seeing as this isn't Batman or Detective, we don't get any story progression, whatsoever, and are expected to take this filler as a valuable and noteworthy addition to this crossover. So far, the entire story can be had if you only buy Batman or Detective. So, while there's nothing terrible about this issue, it's not good either and the fact it's filler in a line-wide crossover, I feel cheated.

Verdict - Avoid It.
