Yeah it went from a pile of s**t to the best comic on DC's shelves.

 

[sinewave]

how are people calling this the best comic that dc puts out after one issue under wolfman? i think we're just overreacting after the horrible run that jones gave us. it's like living off plankton for a year and then someone putting a pb&j sandwich in front of you. of course you're going to think that pb&j is the greatest thing you've ever tasted, because your totally sick of that damn plankton.

 

[Green Lantern]

Because its my favorite writer of all time. Anything he does catapults up to the top of my list.

 

[CConn]

I didn't even read any of the Jones' run, and I think it's one of the best DC comics out there right now. Yeah, it's only one issue, but, generally, you can tell the quality of a series from 1-3 issues of it. I mean, everyone knew Jones' crap from issue #1, what's so surprising about people knowing Wolfman's run is great from issue #1?

 

[Darthphere]

Lets not forget Jurgens.

 

[Green Lantern]

Besides its Wolfman. He was Geoff Johns in the 80s only his quality didn't taper as they added more books to his load.

 

[sethcohen]

and he doesnt hang from richard donner's sack

 

[WompuM]

Well, his name IS Marv. That's just a sweet name. Unlike Geoff. I mean for God's sake. It's spelled J-E-F-F. Don't you fancy it up with your G and your O. Gee-Off.

i gave jones the benefit of the doubt for the first issue, but around the second or third i realized it was irredeamable.

Jurgens is ok, but I'm not digging Dick looking like he stepped out of the 80's again. Oh well, it's still better than the crap the artists from the last arc put out.

Man cosinewave, you need to learn how to use paragraphs. I mean, that was a triple post extravaganza.

You could just copy/paste the quotes into one post... thats what 99% of us do...

Wolfman gets it and Jones doesn't get it. That's also why Wolfman's run will be so much better.

 

[XwolverineX]

NO!!!!

Nightwing has had a fantasic turnaround starting with this month's issue, #125. Dan Jurgens (I primarily know him from this "Death of Superman" days) pencils the issue wonderfully, giving Dick a late 80s look that somehow suits him. And the issue was written by Marv Wolfman, the guy who created the charatcer. #125 is a great place to start for those who haven't read much of Nightwing--it has a tight story, moments of baudy humor (gotta love it) and some dizzying fight scenes.

****, seriously? Nice, I love Nightwing, but the comic was so bad, I couldn't bare it. When did #125 come out?

 

[Bullseye]

Nightwing #125 shipped on October 4.

 

[Darthphere]

Strange, I cant remember the last time I looked forward to a new issue of Nightwing.

Really, Wolfman just doesn't get it, Wolfman invented it.

Nightwing: Year One was good.

 

[Green Lantern]

YO was good... but not WOLFMAN good.

 

[Bullseye]

If not Wolfman good now, then soon.

Strange, I cant remember the last time I looked forward to a new issue of Nightwing.

Nightwing: Year One and the recent story arc with Deathstroke.

 

[Green Lantern]

No, Wolfman is Wolfman good NOW. Year One was good, but not WOLFMAN good.

Dude what's the matter with you, PB&J sandwiches are totally awesome.

Cause it's spammy and thread-cluttery and annoying.
