These days, a review about Nightwing is really a review about writer Peter Tomasi. Tomasi’s name is one I hadn’t remembered reading before I pounced on his Great Leap arc in Nightwing 147-150, but then I looked the guy up. His work on last year’s Black Adam mini was richly entertaining, but his Nightwing work has really been top notch. With issue 150, Tomasi concludes his Great Leap arc.

Great Leap, loosely part of the Batman RIP event, pits Nightwing against the villain many consider to be his true arch foe, Two-Face.

The twist?  Nightwing starts out the arc with a little help from Harvey Dent.

You heard me.

Well, I missed doing Rapid Reviews for the last couple of weeks. I apologize if anyone was anxiously awaiting these short little recaps/reviews of last week’s comics. But I am back this week with more quick shots of comic book goodness.

This week, I will quickly be reviewing Foolkiller: White Angels #2, Guardians of the Galaxy #4, Captain America #41 and Robin #177. So hit that jump and check out these Rapid Reviews!
