In order to pimp my favorite superhero, here are twenty NIghtwing icons, made from art from the Nightwing issues #44-#50. Please comment if you take one, of course you can customize them any way you want.
I'm happy you'll spread the pretty so that more people fall prey toread Nightwing comics.
Thanks! I'm thoroughly smitten with the entire Batfamily, and these days I'm making a point to pick up not only Batman, but also Robin, Nightwing, and Teen Titans. Mmm... pretty. And so dysfunctional.
I just read Devin Grayson's Nightwing/Huntress collection, and now want to read all of her work on the comic. But all the other collections are Chuck Dixon! When did she take over writing the series?
Devin Grayson started to write Nightwing with issue #71, but it's really not her best work. I mean I'm not nearly as discontent as some other people, but if you want to read great (and really, really slashy) Batfamily stuff written by Devin Grayson read her run on Gotham Knights from #1-32. Which afaik aren't out in a collection, but it's well worth tracking down the issues.
Me, personally? I love what she's been doing with Nightwing. It may not have the pervasive slashiness of her B:GK run, but it's featured such wonderful moments as Dick challenging his fellow BPD cops who were gay-bashing his new partner Gannon Malloy (and, when one of the creeps came back, 'why, are you his boyfriend,' answered, "What if I am?"), and the later conversation with said partner about whether Dick's 'dad' is 'gay', in response to which Dick gives a very convincing laddie-doth-protest-too-much 'no no no no no! nobody's gay!' ::tongue firmly in cheek::
To my mind, most of the criticisms of Devin's work on Nightwing boil down to a) predisposition to dislike anything she writes, b) lazy reading, or c) both. Naturally, my advice is, go, read, and form your own conclusions. I've yet to read any of Devin's work that I haven't liked, though.
Ebay (http://collectibles.listings.ebay.com/Comics_W0QQfromZR4QQlotrZ1QQsacategoryZ63QQsocmdZListingItemListQQsocolumnlayoutZ3) is a great place to get back issues, particularly when you're after longer runs that are harder to find intact at a comics shop.
For me it isn't so much about slashiness. I mean I'm not foremost a slash fan, though I enjoy slashiness when it's there. I had problems with the plots so far, and also with how the breakup of Babs and Dick developed, though I like a lot of stuff in Devin Grayson's Nightwing run as well. And I didn't like everything in Dixon's run either, for example a while right at the beginning of the current series, all those different mobs and their relation to each other totally confused me, and I read in part with the SF&O chart overview of Blüdhaven's underworld next to me to keep track, and I was rather annoyed with the Tad Ryerstad focus, too.
I think the recent Nightwing comics are well worth getting, just that they're not her best writing.
You know, I'd planned to use #17 for when I was in a growly mood, a "things that make Jack go GRRRR" sort of icon... but I haven't felt the need for it lately. (:
So, I'm going to surrender my share of #17 so that someone else can claim it. While I'm here, I've decided I'd like to use #2 -- I'm fine with sharing, if Dick-swinging-through-the-rain takes anybody else's fancy.
eee! may I have #1, for sarcasm purposes? (And I *want* to do something with 6--it's *begging* for something--but I just don't think any caption I could come up with could do it justice.)
Nice Nightwing pimpage (he's my current fave, too).
I think'll share #13 b/c I don't have a woobie icon. The other icons are more Righteously Angry!Nightwing of Fierce Warrior!Nightwing, or are angsty, and I have a favorite one for that right now...
Hi! :waves: I found you reading shrift's LJ which I found reading thete1's LJ. I've been reading Batman family comics for a while, but just found other LJers who are also comic fans. I am so relieved! It's not just me!
Not sure of the etiquette here - Do I need to not take one someone else has already claimed? I'll totally credit you in the keywords. As I have *no* comic icons except the one you see, I'd love to share 10, 3, 5 and 14. Is that too many?
Let me know - I won't use them until I hear from you.
Always glad to hear from more people being sucked into comics. *beams*
Not sure of the etiquette here - Do I need to not take one someone else has already claimed?
The etiquette I know is that usually the icon belongs to the first person who claims it, unless they said in their comment that they'll share the icon, like for example sanj and buggery did.
Usually the rule of thumb seems to be to claim just one or two icons when someone posts a set, but since the post has been up a while I have no problem with you taking more, especially not if they're used and spread Nightwing's prettiness. *grin* shrift already claimed 14, but as far as I can see 3, 5, and 10 are still free.
Oh, really? I didn't know about all that etiquette stuff, I'm fairly new to livejournal. I was going to use 6 (after adding some text and shtuff)...if someone's going to sue me for it I'll use 3 instead :P
Well buggery who first claimed #6, claimed it to share, meaning that they don't mind others using it too. People have different preference for that. I'm glad you like the icons.
The specific issue numbers of the NW comics should show on mouseover. I don't actually remember whether I scanned the pages of these comics for icons myself or took them from a downloaded copy, since I own all these NW issues but also have scans of them others made and it's been a while.
I'm trying to pick which one to use! They're beautiful, I'm falling in love with Dick after reading some of D. Grayson's (hurhurhur) issues on Nightwing.
Other people claimed some of them, and on LJ, at least at the time I posted these, the etiquette is that icons aren't shared for multiple people unless it is said explicitly. Some people commented they'd share the icon, others commented they took them. I'm not entirely sure what a reaction gif is, and whether that is different from an icon. If it looks different from an icon I have no problem with you using these to make that, since I didn't customized or changed the source much beyond cropping the scanned images.

And Nightwing is great for a woobie icon. Well great for anything, really, but then I'm biased. ;)

Also, if you want more comic icons, I recently have posted icons from Superman/Batman #7:

with most still unclaimed.
And still earlier 22 DC icons (with lots of Batfamily), with only 5 claimed, so there still might be one you like:
