Summary

This is Volume 12 of the Nightwing series written by Tom Taylor and drawn by Bruno Redondo, collecting the DC "2016 Nightwing" run and corresponding to the stories in the English edition Nightwing Vol. 12: Fear State, which collects Nightwing issues 84–86, Nightwing 2021 Annual, and the Nightwing story from Batman: Urban Legends issue 10. The story ties into the Batman family crossover event "Fear State": the Bat-family receives instructions from "Oracle," only to discover that the messages were not sent by Barbara Gordon herself—the Oracle system has been breached, and vast amounts of personal information are at risk. The manipulator behind it, "Anti-Oracle," spreads false messages amid the fear sweeping Gotham, making the whole city more unsettled. With communications unreliable, Nightwing heads to Gotham to trace the source of the "Anti-Oracle" signal; along the way Batgirl and Nightwing are unexpectedly affected by something, and each one's deepest fear is dredged up—and that fear happens to concern the other. The story then continues into post-"Fear State" Gotham, with another tale of Nightwing and Red Hood as "sworn brothers," and an appearance of Nightwing's classic "Disco Wing" look. This is Volume 12 of the series; reading in order of the previous volumes is recommended.

Editor's review

汤姆·泰勒与布鲁诺·雷东多的《夜翼》被不少读者视为近年蝙蝠家族支线里最能「抬头看天」的一部:它没有把迪克·格雷森困在阴影里,而是让这个从罗宾成长起来的男人继续相信人、相信城市。本册恰逢「恐惧状态」联动,编剧把蝙蝠家族惯用的信息网络做成叙事核心——当「神谕」的声音不再可信,英雄们赖以协作的信任链条被逐环拆开,恐惧才真正有了着力点。雷东多的分镜灵动、肢体语言干净,动作场面读起来像舞蹈;人物互动则保留了大量轻松幽默的对话,让沉重议题不至于压抑。此外书中还收录夜翼与红头罩的短篇,对老读者是彩蛋,对新读者也是认识这对「兄弟」关系的好入口。

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • 追读蝙蝠家族系列、想补齐「恐惧状态」联动的读者
  • 喜欢迪克·格雷森个人故事线、关注其成长与情感关系的粉丝
  • 偏爱画面流畅、动作设计有舞蹈感的欧美漫画读者
  • 想通过短篇了解夜翼与红头罩关系的新读者

Not a good fit for

  • 完全没有接触过 DC 漫画、对蝙蝠家族人物关系陌生的读者
  • 期待单册完整独立故事、不愿看联动与前后作衔接的读者

Reading tips

  1. 建议先读本系列前几册,了解夜翼在布鲁德海文的处境与人物关系
  2. 阅读前可简单了解一下「恐惧状态」大事件的时间线与「神谕」这一设定的来历
  3. 留意配角与蝙蝠少女的对手戏,这是本册情感张力的主要来源
  4. 读完短篇后可回头对照夜翼与红头罩的早期合作故事,体会人物关系的变化

FAQ

这本《夜翼》第12册是独立的完整故事吗?
不是完全独立的。本册与蝙蝠家族大事件「恐惧状态」联动,且延续了汤姆·泰勒主笔《夜翼》系列前几册的人物状态与线索,建议按系列顺序阅读,否则部分情节衔接会显得突兀。
本册收录了哪些期刊内容?
据 DC 官方与图书馆编目,对应英文版《Nightwing Vol. 12: Fear State》,收录《夜翼》第84—86期、《夜翼 2021 年年刊》第1期,以及《蝙蝠侠:都市传奇》第10期中的夜翼相关故事。
「恐惧状态」是什么?需要先读别的书吗?
「恐惧状态」是 DC 在 2021 年推出的蝙蝠家族跨刊事件,主线围绕哥谭被恐惧情绪与虚假信息笼罩。本册是该事件的联动支线之一,不了解主线也能读,但预先了解事件背景会更顺畅。
