A) Why do we need an issue on a D list side character from one of the most hated Nightwing runs of all time? Why does Tom keep trying to make her relevant?
B) This was just a bad issue. At this point what isnt she? This is just like 'ah yes this character actually has a tragic past, secretly awesome and shoots rainbows, love her!' This is exact opposite of what you should do if you want to m more

when ResearchReader says "the most hated Nightwing runs of all time" he's talking about Ric Grayson, Taylor is just boring.

ResearchReader - May 1, 2024 (edited)

Yes thank you @Tempra16v2.0Turbo. I was referring to the infamous 'Ric Grayson' era. As for this run. I find it quite funny @DChimp you call it one of the most acclaimed unless you mean its in the top 5. It started off ok, dont get me wrong and it doesnt ruin the characttter in anyway, but this run has no flare. It will not be remember 10 years from now unless its about how hilarious it was that Nightwing wouldn't remove Heartless allowing the person to kill so many more people.
