(Just so no one thinks I’m stealing: Comic covers and Bruce edited in. Rest of the less attractive stuff is all me )
They were my very first DC comics a bajillion years ago! I lost track of the hobby during university, and only started up again a few years back. Rather than jumping into Rebirth and New 52, I picked up where I left off. It’s been slow going, but I just passed the Chuck Dixon threshold!
This is a little sketching fun I had in personal celebration. I tried to mimic the 90s art style. How’d I do? aside from Dick’s wonky arm
Anyway! When I read that Devin Grayson was going to take over for Nightwing, I got really excited. I liked what I had read of Gotham Knights (up to issue 30 or so), as well as her part in various crossover storylines. Then, peeking around the web, I saw a lot of people were unhappy with her Nightwing. Like, really, really unhappy.
I’ll try to go on with no expectations either way, but deep down I’m a little .
Without spoiling me, what’d you guys think of the post-Dixon era? Would anyone recommend skipping ahead?
Having discovered Dixon’s work only since I’ve been on DC Universe, I love his stuff, especially Nightwing. I reread the full run recently, and it’s a wonderfully interconnected story.
As far as Devin Grayson’s run goes, I’ll say that I have liked some things she’s done (haven’t read Gotham Knights but her Titans is excellent), but she dropped the ball with Nightwing in spectacular fashion. It’s particularly rough if you’re a fan of Dixon’s run. I’d say give it a chance, especially since there are some good parts of it, but temper your expectations.
And that sucks to hear from you, Jamags, since I agree on a lot of your reviews. Ah well. I’ll still give it a cautious go and remind myself I always have the Dixon days to relive if things get too bad. I think, in interviews, I read Dick was her favorite DC character at one point, too. Wonder if that love of character made it harder to write what was best for him.

Night wing drawing mustaches is hilarious. 
still really wonderful.
