i bought a book and i haven't even opened it, and i might regret it
firstly the blurb on amazon is different, the final line isn't the same
i feel misled i don't like the actual book blurb
oh, wait, i HATE the book blurb
"featuring a teenage dick grayson"
if he hasn't met bruce yet, he has to be at maximum like 8/9, not a teenager. i hate when writers make dick older than he should be, it just makes me feel icky. if you are so desperate to write a dick grayson love story then do that AFTER he became robin and is a teenager, don't age him up pLEASE. there is a good chance he is older than jason was when he became robin and that just makes me uncomfortable
"dick loathes spending his summers performing"
no he doesn't?????
dick loves performing, he loved being up on the trapeze doing the routines. this is like an essential part of his character, him loving the performance is why he's so himself as nightwing. joking and making fun comments is because he is a performer. it's what he loves to do and we see him missing the circus.
"choosing between loyalty to his family history"
ok, i know this is about the flying graysons but it feels like weird given that, if you go back like 3 generations, you find william cobb, an assassin for a secret society that runs gotham... fun family history there
"redefining dick grayson for a new generation" or as said on amazon "writer and illustrator redefine dick grayson"
yeah we don't need him being redefined. he's an iconic dc character for a reason, has been around longer than wonder woman, had been around for 80 years when the book was published. in the nicest way possible, he doesn't need to be redefined, just better introduced to a new generation
and a minor nitpick, why did they say "suspend readers from a tightrope" when the trapeze was RIGHT THERE
rant over, time to actually read it
EDIT: i read it, i talk about it here

Mai nap érkezése, ami kisebb szívrohamot adott, mivel a postás próbálta a vékony leveleknek szánt ládába beletuszkolni, ahelyett, hogy becsengetett volna... De szerencsére semmi baja nem lett.
Visszatérve a lényegre: a mostani 'Nightwing' sort nagyon élvezem mind történetileg, mind grafikailag. Vagány, modern, de mégis ad egy ilyen retró (?), nosztalgikus (?) bájt, ami Dick és Barbara személyiségével nagyon szórakoztató. És Bitewingről nem is tedtem említést!
A kötet szép kivitelezésű, mind a védőborítő, mind a belső design okosan kigondolt. A 'Nightwing' füzetek 87-91-ig, illetve a 'Superman: Son of Kal-El' 9. füzetét tartalmazza, mivel a legtöbb rendelőfelületen egy ideig rosszul tűntették ezeket fel.
És a végén érdekes az a pár oldal 'hogyan készült', ami a 87-es füzet folyamatos grafikájának progress képeit mutatja. Azt ugyebár spanyolul, kihajthatós formában szereztem be, de lapozgatva is élvezhető.
Remélem ez a kreatív csapat még pár kötetig együtt marad, mert jól kiegészíti Tom Taylor írását Bruno Redondo/Geraldo Borges rajzolása és Adriano Lucas színezése...

Moonwatcher’s tail on the cover of the new book is making me go crazy
It’s like she has a rainwing tail + even more tail
Other than that, I think it’s a very pretty cover lol
