Nightwing, Vol. 7: The Bleeding Edge by Benjamin Percy

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This was my favorite Nightwing Volume since DC Rebirth. The first part of the book is set in Bludhaven as a new software promises people the abiliity to manipulate their environment, but of course there's something more nefarious afoot. Nightwing follows the evil plan to Gotham where the evil plan involves fake news and media manipulation. The events of that part of the story lead Nightwing to a no-holds-barred race on a mysterious island with a moral dilemma coming along with the prize if he wins...and survives.

This book does a great job exploring the conerns many have about technology without going preachy. The ideas are well-thought out and often unsettling. I also love Barbara Goardon in this. This is yet another book where Barbara is better written than she is in her own series.

Overall, this was engaging and fun and really left me eager for the next volume.
