"Nightwing is back-and his drive to keep Blüdhaven safe has never been stronger! But his adoptive city has elected a new mayor with the last name Zucco. When Nightwing enlists Batgirl's help in investigating the politician bearing the same name as the man who murdered his parents, she unearths details that will shock and fundamentally change the hero. Dick Grayson's big heart has protected those persecuted by bullies in his youth, combated evil alongside Batman as Robin, and pledged his newly inherited wealth to enriching Blüdhaven as Nightwing. His kindness and generosity have always guided his life. But now a new villain stalks the back alleys, removing the hearts of the city's most vulnerable. Who is this terrifying new menace named Heartless, and will he be able to resist plucking out the biggest heart in all of Blüdhaven?"--

I really want to get more into DC and especially batfam comics and this was such a good introduction into Nightwing.

The former Robin is out on its own trying to form his own identity outside of the Batfam.

This was such a dynamic comic, Bruno Redondo is insane. I truly love his illustration style. He has such a dynamic and precise way to draw that no action is left unpainted. The fight scenes are drawn in comic wide panels and each panel describes a different action. It also brings such an amusing sense in normal scenes like when they are walking down the stairs and each panel describes an action taken while walking down the stairs. Just very imaginative and creative approach that adds so much the storytelling. Tiny things like overhead shots or the characters going through the panels that breaks the monotony of just simple illustrations.

This volume also serves as a very nice tribute of sorts to Alfred, to thank him for his work. As someone once said "The world would be lost without the heroes he raised. Without his generosity, his love, his support."

The storytelling was great in on itself, just Dick Grayson settling in a new city and trying to make it better. He initially tries to leave all his family and friends behind but sometimes, family is all you need.

4.5 stars

Okay, so this was my first every DC comic and I don't think I could have picked a better one. I love it. I love Dick and Tim and Babs and I am so excited to read more of the comics!
