Finished reading Nightwing: Raptor’s Revenge, concluding writer Tim Seeley time with the character as Dick finds himself in desperate need of help when the villain Raptor returns. The book opens with Nightwing swinging through the streets of Blüdhaven when he finds himself having to save a Senator from the appearance of Raptor who has come to Blüdhaven with the Senator being one of his targets. After defusing the situation and Raptor escaping by using a waitress as a destruction, Nightwing turns to his allies in hope to get some help against Raptor but due to letting his friends, the Run-Offs down which led to the death of their friend and the Police being unable to help, Dick goes to the last person in the city that might be able to help, Roland Desmond. Overall this was a great book as writer Tim Seeley wraps up all for the plot lines from throughout the from the rerun of Raptor coming to meet with Dick in his new home of Blüdhaven to Dick rebuilding his friendship and trust with his friends the Run-Offs. The book also does an amazing job in delivering on the character interactions between Dick and Raptor that helps to make the story feel more personal to Dick thanks to how Raptor reveals more about his past with Dick’s mother. While the book also does a great jobs with the development of Roland Desmond as a character with how he is affected by Raptor’s plans for Blüdhaven especially when the casino that he runs becomes ground zero for the release of the Blockbuster serum into the city. The art throughout the book is great as it does an amazing job in bring to life the aesthetics of Blüdhaven extremely along with the amount of detail that goes into crafting the action scenes and bringing across the tension and other emotions at play between characters within their conversations. While the book also does a great job in transitioning between the changing art styles incredibly well with what parts of the book that changers. 8.5/10.
