A good issue with a lot going for it. I loved the way that this "love story" actually turned very tragic for someone we weren't suppose to like to begin with. Many of us have had one relationship in our lives that bordered on obsessive, and this was a great example of just that kind of love. The fact that it was done so well gives this issue four stars. Now I hope this doesn't come off wrong, and if it wasn't intended to be a funny scene, geez I apologize, but the whole Pringle's moment actually made me laugh out loud. Our villain is in the middle of a car chase, throws a can of chips at his enemy who's chasing him, and then realizes he's hungry. I got a kick out of that scene. Good stuff. Wasn't sure about the quickness of the bombs being planted, unless Nocturne had planned the whole thing from the beginning, which would have been a bit of a stretch, but the story in completion worked so well, it was just a minor little squabble. Once again Dick's voice was really solid in this. Great job. And of course, I'm giving it four stars for the story and one more for the awesome cover! God I love this art department! None of them can do wrong.  |

On the plus side, you've really built Nocturna/Night Theif into main antagonists for Nightwing. The antagonism and similar skill level really works.
On the down side, Dick is taking too many risks with his secret identity! If Anton weren't so obsessed with Nocturna, he mignt actually figure it out!
Four stars.

Hahaha, the first thing I have to comment on is the Pringle's scene... I wrote the story, printed it off, and then Mom asked to read it. She got a funny look while reading it, and held up the page. "Pringles? 'Flying snacks'? I think you'd better cut that part." I told her that I HAD to keep it, and she reluctantly said O.K. I read Brian's reply and HAD to call her over, lol. She laughed and still said that the scene was pretty darn weird. Which it is. And yeah, it was kinda intended to be funny. :-P Wasn't sure about the quickness of the bombs being planted, unless Nocturne had planned the whole thing from the beginning, which would have been a bit of a stretch, but the story in completion worked so well, it was just a minor little squabble. Once again Dick's voice was really solid in this. Great job. And of course, I'm giving it four stars for the story and one more for the awesome cover! God I love this art department!

Thanks for the feedback, arcalian. I really do love writing Night-Thief and Nocturna. I tried to minimalize the chance that Anton would figure out his identity, but... a guy's gotta take chances. Anton's a reeeally fun character to write... obsession and all.

This was a very interesting issue, and it was paced and laid out quite effectively. The numerous perspective cuts could have been too much, but they worked in the frenetic story set-up and I liked it. The conclusion was rough and bloody and heart-breaking for Dick and quite enjoyable. The three characters were sharply drawn against each other, and their actions definitely grew out of who each person was.
Well done, and I look forward to next issue.
Take care
Don

"The conclusion was rough and bloody and heart-breaking for Dick and..." I wince..... "...quite enjoyable." Hmmmmmm. Note to self: Don likes gory endings...  Ha, thanks... one reason I chose to write Natty and Anton at all was because they weren't really established at DC2-- like Joker, or Lex Luthor-- and it gave me a little more flexibility to write. I didn't want to ruin their characters, but wanted room for a little creativity...  Glad to hear that it worked at least a little. Thanks for taking the time to reply, Don! Appreciate it! |
