Tom Taylor’s Nightwing run is one of my favorite thing in mainstream comics right now. When I read it I get teary eyed, emotional and it warms my heart.

[@justarandomdude.9285]

same thing

[@roka3960]

Still, this is the best Nightwing run I've ever read. And issue 105 is just awesome and Redondo is definitely my favorite artist !

[@Carlos-xz3vi]

@fishin4bass2002There is one run that everyone considers “the best” which is Chuck Dixon’s…this run is much much better.

[@zhisangchen4562]

@fishin4bass2002 I have an unpopular opinion but even Dixon’s run is a solid 7/10 to me not 10/10. Nightwing is in desperate need of a A-list Supervillain. Deathstroke was that villain but then he’s turned into a Teen Titan villain. Then Batman villain, used as a Green Arrow villain and at this point is a DC villain rather than a Nightwing one. Which leads to my biggest complaint for Tom Taylor’s run: Heartless. I was very very excited for this new villain. But two years later not much has developed.

[@thegloveofficial3838]

​@@zhisangchen4562 I wish these new nightwing series were like serious and cool like the newest DD comic especially the art in DD Comic by chip zdarsky and the story adds so much to the DD but have that for nightwing even tho he is a comedic character so not too dark. BUT I do like tom Taylor's run

[@thegloveofficial3838]

​@fishin4bass2002nightwing comics before New 52 were good tbh like when he was a cop or detective and he was fighting deathstroke that was good but they should go back to the more grounded nightwing takes because I get what you mean. Not all his runs are consistent but the first couple were good

[@McCoy97]

This is the only Nightwing run I’ve read, but I love this run and character.

[@McCoy97]

@tfoxrng4923 I have actually read Black Mirror too now that you mention his time as Batman.

[@ryangarcia3729]

Hoping to get this oversized one day!

[@Ntron475]

Nightwing/Dick Grayson is hands down my favorite character in comics. This is easily in the top 3 runs of the character. Love the recognition this run has been getting as well.

[@MP.860]

Best Nightwing since Dixon! Break your oath Omar! Take the plunge. Digital is here to stay.

[@jamesdunn9457]

I love your “How did this omnibus get here?” moment. =)

[@mattthompson3371]

I think I'm going to dive into these HCs and probably rebuy the books if they do omnis.

[@andrecrispim3209]

or just wait for an omni, be smart.

[@mattthompson3371]

Or double dip. I make enough to upgrade later. @@andrecrispim3209

[@sharebear421]

Omni is coming

[@toeknee1505]

Thanks for this nice Nightwing overview, Omar!

[@IcyShades31]

finally caught up with your videos (I was away for 1 week)

[@Dumballa]

Definitely start to read them as they come out. I mean they're so good. And we can still get them when they come out in TPB. Started with leaping into light and it hooked me. Beautiful collection man

[@gqd1975]

Looking forward to the omnibus!

[@lazuruswolf6668]

Hope we get a DCeased Omnibus as well, or at least an Absolute Edition for the first story.

[@Qwarky]

I can't wait to get to rebirth era and beyond in my reading list to read these!

[@devynrossi]

Same. I've got a long way to go, though.

[@Qwarky]

@@devynrossi oh, I have SUCH a long way to go, my current reading is hovering around post-Infinite Crisis and 52, and before Blackest Night. It'll be AGES. I've read the New 52 Batman and Batgirl runs (plus Eternal), so I don't have to re-read those (probably) but it'll still be a long long while.

[@himakadabra]

My boy is enjoying his best era and I couldn’t be prouder 🥹🥹

[@WatchYeego]

I haven't read any Nightwing books yet but I will someday, and this run will be the first, or second..

[@ba6972]

Can you do an overview of those custom bound omnis and Rebirth Deluxe editions? Great Video !

[@peterverschoor884]

Omg you made me go looking like crazy for nightwing rebirth deluxe book 4 and 5, didn't hear that some of them where customs haha. I thought am I crazy, I never seen them before.

[@justarandomdude.9285]

It's amazing I really love the batfamily!

[@ogmsbk8002]

Looking forward to the Omnibus. Probably my favourite run of Nightwing yet!

[@shenal1369]

I've seen your Batgirl by Miller omnibus also is the same, but how in the world do you have custom omnibus that oversized!!! please answer, great video as always

[@redlander55]

the book covers are so good

[@zhisangchen4562]

As a Wally Flash fan I envy the art on the current Nightwing run. I dislike pacing and will definitely buy when an omnibus is out

[@fernandozavala2393]

Been on the fence on waiting for the tpb versions or jumping on these standard sized hc books.

[@zainj9070]

Hey Omar, thanks for the video! Would love to see you do a video showing off those custom Dixon bindings in more detail. Were the Dixon books ever released in any sort of oversized format that was used for that?

[@Im_connorreviews]

I really want to read this run

[@michaelsu4044]

Hey Omar, you think there's any chance of DC putting this out in a deluxe hardcover?

[@OMACexperiment]

I know a lot of us are omnie lovers but these HC volumes DC has been doing are pretty neat for me who wants to read the run before waiting years for a Omnibus!

[@josearrocha3377]

I finished reading leaping into the light which was excellent. Swung by just to confirm Fear State was the second volume after reading Batman Detective Comics Fear State.

[@carlosnicolini1719]

The new intro reminds me of the one from Babylon 5’s last season.

[@alimallett2140]

Issue 87 is just normal single issue, it doesn't fold out unfortunately. I love this run so much though, I've double dipped singles and HC and if they do deluxe will triple, and if Omni quadruple dip 😂

[@NearMintCondition]

Thanks for the information!

[@jjm6187]

What are those three Dixon omni's? Were those custom made?? What was DC's rational for doing soft cover compendiums for the reprinting of that run?? That's a bummer

[@j2174]

Wait, where did you find those 3 Nightwing Chuck Dixon Ominbus?!

[@shirasimcha6492]

If I want to start reading dc comics specially batman and the bat family where should I start?

[@fernandonietoabad7842]

The issue was one fold out in spain

[@KillerTacos54]

The run itself is fine, but Redondo’s art is absolutely phenomenal

[@mateonunez8871]

How many comics aré?

[@NichoMania2]

Really debating on jumping into this. On one hand, I love Nightwing. On the other hand, I've had mixed impressions from Taylor, with highs and lows in DCeased, which is most of what I've read from him. That, and I'm not much of an Injustice fan. 😅 But after jumping out of comics after Rebirth fell apart, loving the good parts of Superman, Titans, Batman, Red Hood & The Outlaws... untilthe Bendis stuff happened, I don't know what to dive into as a 'Dawn of DC' title...especially after having not been reading for a while, after Snyder JL/Death Metal made me dip from keeping up with things.. I'm just genuinely worried about getting invested, and then burned again... 😓But I don't want to stay a negative person to the comics I used to like either... Anybody have any recommendations?

[@NichoMania2]

@fishin4bass2002 Ahh, fair enough. Yeah, might skip out then... I'm able to stomach politics that don't align with my own, but some of the Taylor stuff reads like a Sunday Morning cartoon special with the most shallow understanding of the topic it's tackling... 😅to..put it mildly... [which sucks, given a lot of the time, they're very serious subjects themselves.]

[@alwaysaninstigator]

Easily the best run on the character ever written

[@jamestbrown6317]

Still want to see the Scott McDaniel run.

[@James-ip7zk]

Has that run been collected? In would like to see McDaniels art again

[@joshuahelmeke]

There’s no way I’m waiting for the Omni with this run. I AM collecting the deluxe editions, but…I guess this is an act of good faith on DC’s part…we’ll see. That glued binding, though: 🤮

[@andyking8524]

These aren’t glued binding. If you flip the book upside down you can see the sections which have been sewn together. From the top the overflow of glue makes it look like sewn binding

[@tylerscott6640]

I thought the first arc was amazing but everything since has gotten progressively worse and more boring to the point that I quit reading the new issues. If I hear about something big happening down the line I might jump back in but this series got old super fast.

[@rushero4629]

I hope for trade paperbacks they will fix the title to 'nightwing and friends' or something.

[@TevyaSmolka]

honestly Tom Taylor nightwing I found to be so disappointing and really boring and not interesting at least in my opinion.

[@lazuruswolf6668]

That is your opinion and you have the right to it... but its also an opinion you are 100% wrong on. Goodbye.

[@TevyaSmolka]

@@lazuruswolf6668 okay?

[@boombapdoom493]

@@lazuruswolf6668yea you can’t be wrong on an opinion cause that’s why it’s an opinion… anyways I personally love this run

[@kelogeist]

I agree. I want to like it, but the story just feels so dull and flat past the nice art and fluff

[@TevyaSmolka]

@@boombapdoom493 i can agree with that and honestly like I said before if people like that series that's cool more power to you I won't stop you because at the end of the day we all have are own opinions. :)
