Publisher: DC

Cover date: April 2006
W: Devin Grayson
A: Brad Walker

Synopsis: While recovering from radiation burns, Dick ties up some loose ends and makes a life-changing decision.

Thoughts: Nightwing 116 stunk! But 117 makes up for that. While not a terrific issue, it's certainly better than the previous installment. What keeps this one from being great is Grayson's (the writer; not the titular character) need to wrap up her story before handing the book over to upcoming writer Bruce Jones. Everything from Dick's interaction with Alfred and Bruce, his fight with Slade and Rose, and the emotional ending could have been... could have meant so much more had she one more issue. Instead, everything is crammed into here and feels rushed.
