I read a post how everyone says the current issue is lame and there are only a few mentions aout people enjoying the current run book. So if you like currently how the book is going please put a note here and don't forget to vote.

The only way anyone will admit to liking Nightwing again is if Dixon comes back.

There needs to be a Wait and See option. I'm not judging anything based on two issues.
Every writer has some bad issues. Even Alan Moore... though they are fewer than most.
When Greg Rucka started Wonder Woman it was slow, boring, it seemed out of character and wasn't much fun. What Rucka did was set EVERYTHING up at the expense of a few months and told the best (IMO anyway) Wonder Woman stories since Perez.
Moral of the story: you have to give it some time. If after the first arc it hasn't changed... yeah, start a poll like this. But based on two issues? Not a good foundation.

I can’t say yet, as I haven’t read those issues. What I can say is that I’ve been disappointed in Bruce Jones’s DC work so far. His Batman movie special featuring The Scarecrow was dull. I dropped both Warlord and Man-Bat after one issue. And I saw through the plot twist in Vigilante upon finishing the second issue (of six); consequently, after confirmation in the fifth issue and due to my regret that such an obvious revelation was even used, I didn’t bother with the finale. I find this recent run of bad work unfortunate because I’ve always liked his previous efforts.
Oh, well. So it goes.

Ok, I'll admit it. I like the OYL Bruce Jones Nightwing. I bought the 118 & 119 thinking they'd be horable, but lo and behold, I was laughing and really enjoying it. Jason Todd is a great use of a character who should be dead. (Hell, they even brought back Bucky over at Marvel. What's next? Uncle Ben?)

So far, I've hated Nightwing OYL. Jones hasn't shown any understanding of Nightwing so far.
I have not been very impressed with Jones' writing on Nightwing. I don't find the fashion/costume design storyline particularly interesting. I think that the Pierce brothers come across as generic villains. I'm not thrilled with Nightwing returning to NYC. And, I really don't enjoy how Jones has written Jason Todd. Jason as the Red Hood was an interesting, complex and conflicted character over in Batman. DC could have made Jason their version of the Winter Soldier. However, Jones has reduced Jason to nothing more than a one dimensional pyschotic nutjob. Very uninteresting to me.

The only thing I like about this arc, and the only reason I voted yes, is Dick going up against Jason (I'll at least let Jones know he's doing something halfway right). Unfortunately, it's only been in a fisticuffs-type manner. I just want to see them go at each other verbally. Has this been done already in any of the previous storylines following the Red Hood arc?
Aside from that, Dick in New York City I could do without. I'm praying he at least shows up in the last Battle for Bludhaven issue, but that would lessen the 'impact' of all ninety characters currently vying for position there.
And, fyi, the only redhead I want to see Dick sleeping with is still in a wheelchair. When the hell are they going to get Barbara out of that damn thing? I'm not saying she needs to be Batgirl, but at least give her her damn legs back. Then they can marry them off in about eight years, and retcon that $#!? two years later.

It's like they make sure that every Nightwing writer is worse than the one before it...

I'm a big fan of Nightwing and have followed him for years, but it's been really lackluster of late.
We need someone who knows/loves this character on as writer, stat! Both Fabian Nicieza and Geoff Johns have expressed interest lately, and I think either would be great!

I reserve rights to criticize later. No storyline in any book I have read has been completely edge of the seat gotta have the answer right now. If that was true every friggin issue of every friggin book would be a one shot.
I am not saying the book is ok but I want to see where it goes 2 or 3 issues cannot condemn or canonize a book.
It needs work but so do a lot of other stories. I like Nightwing the character and want to keep it around for a good long time.

I like Nightwing a lot, but I am having a hard time with this arc. I dont want to drop the book, if I made it past the clone Saga I can make it past this. So I just hope when this is all done they will put a good writer on Nightwing.

You can't be serious. The art is bad too but I've seen worse on the book before (who was that guy after Land that everyone one wrote hate mail in about?).

Whoa, pretty heavily skewed toward NOT liking Jones. Hell, I want Devin back if we can't get Dixon... Jones is THAT BAD.
