Nightwing #150

Tomasi, Kramer, Leisten & Ramos
An excellent issue. Sure, the arc has been all about Two-Face, but this issue reads so well that it really could be a stand alone. We get a good plot device to drive the action and the crime, plus we get some good character interactions and some great foreshadowing. It’s such a solid issue I would recommend this even if you don’t normally read or follow Nightwing. It’s a very good comic.
According to the publisher, the February-shipping issues of Robin, Nightwing and Birds of Prey will be the final issues of the respective series.
As well as being the final issues, Robin #183, Nightwing #153 and Birds of Prey #127 will end eras for Batman-related titles, as each stretches back at least nine years.
The three titles were roughly in the middle of DC’s lineup, sales-wise, with Nightwing seeing sales of over 50,000 copies to comic shops for September, while Robin and Birds of Prey saw sales of 32,000 and 21,000 copies, respectively.
DC declined to say if the series’ cancellations were due to sales, or if the three titles would be replaced by three new titles in 2009.
July 7, 2008 - Just days after announcing another new printing of BATMAN #676, the first chapter “Batman: R.I.P.,” DC Comics announces the BATMAN #677 has sold out and is going back to press for a new, second printing.
