Nightwing #10

With the "Night of Owls" crossovers now official done Nightwing moves forward with a new arc as Dick Grayson makes several important decisions about his future. We also get our first look at the army of vigilantes dressed up as knights and led by another New 52 villain - Paragon.

Nightwing, at least for the forseeable future, seems to be staying in Gotham and so is the Haly's Circus as Dick comes up with a new plan to fix up Gotham's run down amusement park Amusement Mile perhaps with the help of Tony Zucco's daughter Sonia. We also finally get back to the story of Nightwing being framed for murder (remember that?).

The issue finally fills in some information about the corrupt cop Detective Nie who tried to pin a murder wrap on Batman by planting evidence looks to be the man behind Nightwing's stick showing up at a recent murder as well. This story works better for me than Paragon (although I'm betting the two are related). This was a make-or-break issue for Nightwing for me, and although it's not great there's enough here to bring me back for another month. Worth a look.
