Dull. It's basically retreading the exact same ground as the original Nightwing run... Dick goes to Bludhaven to be his own man. Falls in love. And apparently, according to solicits, Blockbuster is going to be a main antagonist in a few issues.
I've already read those stories, and they were BETTER when they were ORIGINAL.
Man, Nightwing has had a rough run of it. Back in the New 52, there were a lot of great ideas that kept getting prematurely cut (living with Haly's Circus on the road, owning the circus, setting up the Circus in Gotham...) but then they "killed" Dick and turned him into Agent Grayson instead. Which was well written, but I still didn't like it because Dick is a SUPERHERO, not a SECRET AGENT. After that, the Raptor/Court of Owls arc, again, was interesting but prematurely ended.
Basically, Dick can't catch a break. He's either having his interesting new ideas prematurely cut off, or he's in WTF land, or he's retreading old ground.
