Rating: 4/5
See my reviews of volume 1 and volume 2.
Dick Grayson, aka Nightwing, has joined the ranks of Spyral, a spy organization that seeks out secrets of the world's superheroes. Someone is killing people associated with every mission he has gone on for the organization. Is the former Boy Wonder behind it or is he being framed?
I like this book because it delves into Grayson's past a bit more than the previous volumes. He chooses to leave Spyral and strike out on his own. Part of his journey involves finding his former friends and allies to let them know that he is still alive. There are glimpses of the comradery they shared, while tying it into the current plotline. Normally I wouldn't like to see this much crossover, but it worked well.
This feels like a placeholder between volume 2 and 4, though that isn't a bad thing. It gives the reader and the creators a chance to back off the super spy motif a little bit and get back to the roots of the character. It segues from the second volume and sets the stage for the next one. I am definitely interested to see where things go from here.
