Shrike returns

In this volume of Nightwing, Dick tassles with Catwoman, a newly emerging assassin who is latest to claim the name Shrike, and looks for the mysterious mobster Freddy Minh. Also in the back story, Torque (Dudley Soames) and Nite-wing are planning a prison break for their ultimate revenge. Dick is finally given a real challenge in the form of Shrike. Shrike is a person from Dick's past who knew him as Robin. What ensues is a grudge match of epic proportions that nearly kills Nightwing. He is finally facing a killer whose skills rival his own. Dick finds himself spread out too thin as a guardian of a town that seems to spurn his protection (Bludhaven). Even Blockbuster seems to be immortal. Dick can't catch a break to save his life (literally!) The battle between Shrike and Nightwing as well as the battle between Shrike and Desmond's goons (in other words, all the Shrike fight scenes) make this volume worth it.
