I was, of course, tickled pink by the continuity reference.
That aside, was a clever murder mystery, and above all a detective story--with our heroes using their brains.
Using Robin "publicly" like that was an especially nice touch.
Also Tim "holding court" at the party.
I also note the well done and subtle nuances of the Tim-Dick relationship here, how it is, and yet is not, like the Dick-Bruce relationship.
Food, More food in this book. Especially the sandwich and the doritos. (Was it cool ranch doritos? *slurp*) Food references are always fun, but for me they are sometimes harder to work in.

Yes, food. I think Brian once commented on the gallons of Coca Cola that Dick was consuming. And do you know that I actually hate Doritos? Detest the nasty stuff. Blech! Y'know, you're right, it is a detective story, but I don't think that any of them actually even threw a punch... mabye Batman did when he was gone, but there's no mention if I remember right. Bit of a difference from 'Black Friday Blues', eh?  |

This was a nice little mystery. It's fun to see the batkids use their head, rather than just their fists. I also enjoyed the allusions to Sherlock Holmes.

The old ice-block trick... classic detective msytery stuff. This issue reminded slightly of the way Paul Dini writes Batman. A quick one-shot that has a story and a plot, but is focused through the interactions of the main characters, Dick and Tim.
I liked that Tim had to go to that party with Dick. It was a nice little nuance touch and a great moment for Dick to have the role-reversal in his life where he forces a youngster to go to the dinner party, instead of being forced. Ah, growing up....
Overall, stellar job! I like Tim stories and hope to see him grow even more into his role as Robin.

Thanks! Hey, even the slightest good similarity/comparison to Paul Dini isn't bad... :-D Haha, yeah, I gotta kick outta the dinner thing myself, lol. And I like reading Tim stories, though I just started writing them... enjoying it, though. Glad you enjoyed... thanks for your feedback! |

Great mystery, AWESOME characterization, and beautiful cover made for my favorite of the week... err... last week. There wasn't a beat out of place with this story. Keep up the great work! But is Nightwing coming back...  |

But is Nightwing coming back... Thanks, Brian, glad you enjoyed it! And believe me-- NO ONE misses Nightwing more than I do. I actually went to the comic book store a coupla days before Christmas and picked up my first NW comics just so I could read something with him in it again... lol. I know, I'm pathetic. :-P |
