Finished reading Nightwing: Back to Blüdhaven, after his global adventures with Spyral and Raptor as Dick moves to Blühaven after the idea being brought up by Superman. The book opens with Dick waking up from a nightmare where he sees his Titans teammates being brutally killed by Dr Destiny. This gains the attention of Superman due to having experienced fighting a different version of Dr Destiny and plans to help Dick by traveling into Dick's dreams to defeat the villain. The main story of the book sees Dick moving to Blüdhaven and getting a job as a volunteer at a local community centre. Later that night Dick dawns his Nightwing suit when he notices Police helicopters as Dick finds himself fighting Gorilla Grimm who is being suspected for murder. Before being apprehended by the police Grimm gives the name of Dick's new boss Shawn Tsang who turns out to be the villain Defacer and a part of a group named the Run-Offs who left Gotham after being caught by Batman and Nightwing yeas prior and have tried to change their life only for someone to be setting up each member for murder. The final story of the book has Dick and Shawn's relationship take centre stage as the two talk to their friends and family as their relationship development. Overall this was a great book as writer Tim Seeley scales back Dick's life after the constant global adventures which allows for Dick to have some great character development and brings about a new a intriguing supporting cast who each get some nice development right away. The art is great as the action is drawn extremely well with the movements of Nightwing being very easy to follow that's to the amount of detail put into it. While the more character driven moments does a great job in capturing the emotions of people reactions and conversations. 8.5/10.
