Finally reaching adulthood, the former sidekick took the identity of Nightwing and began to forge his own destiny. Moving to neighboring Bludhaven, Dick established himself as the protector of a city steeped in crime and corruption fighting crime as a police officer by day and a vigilante by night. In this volume, Nightwing goes undercover as a made man after leaving the police force and feels his life spiral out of control after being adopted into one of New York City's crime families. Can he escape this new odyssey into the depths of the criminal underworld? Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Not perfect, but...This isn't the best story out there, but it gets the job done in my opinion. As the cover, title, and summary explain, Dick has suffered through loss, and appears to be drifting away from what he once was. If you're looking for a typical good over evil, blah blah blah type of story, this isn't it. If you do get Mobbed Up though, you definately want to get Renegade with it, which picks up right where this story leaves off. Rating: - A break from BlockbusterCharacter driven stories are normally not my cup of tea.

Okay, I'll admit it is interesting but I was really starting to get tired of his whinning and about how he failed to protect a bad guy right about now. This story is just interesting enough to keep me picking up the book from time but I wouldn't buy. You are not missing out on anything special if you pass this one up. You know DC almost killed Mr. Grayson but decided to keep him alive for some strange reason. Instead they kill Kon-el?!! He (Dick) would ... Read More Rating: - Nightwing meets the SopranosYup, Grayson becomes a mob enforcer known as "Crutches" cause he fights mob guys using his crutches as a deadly weapon...bwhaha! Apparently wounded in Batman War Games, despondent and alone, he somehow befriends the mob that takes him in as one of their own. The only rules Crutches has is, no guns, no use of deadly forces and no kids! He is the PG-13 version of Christopher form the Sopranos. The mob is tantalized by Grayson's fighting ability and disregard that he is an ex-cop and the former ward ... Read More Rating: - Going DownThe quality of the Nightwing ongoing title has been in steady decline with the only bright spot being the Year One issues. Infinite Crisis has come in time, hopefully, to save the book from continued decline. Nightwing: Mobbed Up (Nightwing (Graphic Novels)) Buy superhero comic book collectibles at the Superhero Mall! |
