About Heroes

This Review was submitted by Knightwingbk:

Writer: Marv Wolfman
Artists: Dan Jurgens & Norm Rapmund

After last months mediocre but better than Jones issue, Wolfman delivers a solid piece of writing, in both plot and character. Nightwing is buried alive by a contract killer who knows his Dick Grayson identity. As Nightwing must dig himself out he must come to grips with his life, and keep himself alive before his air runs out. Dick is in a very uncomfortable situation here, buried alive. Even though we know that he will come out ok, Wolfman still manages to create a suspenseful situation. This issue does not do much to move the story along, but its a good issue nonetheless that anyone should be able to read without any problems. This is partially due to the fact that Dick goes over the events of the last two issues, as he tries to keep himself focused.

Dan Jurgens and Norm Rapmund are a solid team, but this is the first issue of theirs that I thought their art did not feel dated in any way. How they managed to do that after following a great Ethan Van Sciver cover is beyond me... A solid issue, I have no complaints, but nothing to rave about either. B-.
