Summary: Shrike returns
Comment: In this volume of Nightwing, Dick tassles with Catwoman, a newly emerging assassin who is latest to claim the name Shrike, and looks for the mysterious mobster Freddy Minh. Also in the back story, Torque (Dudley Soames) and Nite-wing are planning a prison break for their ultimate revenge.
Dick is finally given a real challenge in the form of Shrike. Shrike is a person from Dick's past who knew him as Robin. What ensues is a grudge match of epic proportions that nearly kills Nightwing. He is finally facing a killer whose skills rival his own.
Dick finds himself spread out too thin as a guardian of a town that seems to spurn his protection (Bludhaven). Even Blockbuster seems to be immortal. Dick can't catch a break to save his life (literally!)
The battle between Shrike and Nightwing as well as the battle between Shrike and Desmond's goons (in other words, all the Shrike fight scenes) make this volume worth it.

Summary: Pretty Standard
Comment: Nightwing: On the Razors Edge was OK. There nothing bad about it just lacking excitement. Chuck Dixon's writing is ok but I feel as if his writing needs more spark.
I wasn't really aware of shrike's past (even though he was on the rollcall page) so his appearance didn't really appeal too me. Greg Land's art was fantastic and makes a very awesome well toned Nightwing. His Oracle is fantastic and Babs looks so much better with green eyes. Black Canary & Amy were also done wonderfully with beautiful facial expressions along with the rest of the cast.
The other artist with just blech...i thought there styles just weren't right.
Anyways the graphic novel was ok...though I was rather read something else in my spare time.
Ciao

Editorial Reviews:
|
Bldhaven has seen its share of battles between its costumed protector, Nightwing, and various criminals. But when an army of ninjas arrives, its only a harbinger of the deadliest threat yet. Shrike, long thought dead, is back, and he wants revenge on his childhood palNightwing. Shrikes current master, Blockbuster, would be only too happy to see the vigilante destroyed, but Shrike wants to see to Nightwings destruction personally.
