Lange nicht mehr so gute Comics von DC gelesen

5 stars

Seit Jahren tu ich mich schwer mit aktuellen Comics aus der Welt um Batman. Aber das viele Lob an Tom Taylor für seine Nightwing-Hefte hat mich neugierig werden lassen. Und bei diesem Band "Leaping into the Light" (oder in deutscher Fassung "Der Sprung ins Licht" - ISBN 978-3741626944) stimmt wirklich alles. Die Geschichte geht relativ flott voran, hat Spannungsmomente und Szenen zum Schmunzeln, die für mich wirklich funktionieren. Hinzu kommt ein Zeichner, dessen Stil sich mit "Augenschmaus-Optik" beschreiben ließe. Ich bin echt erstaunt und fast traurig, so lange gezögert zu haben. Das Werk erinnert mich an sehr lesenswerte Marvel-Geschichten um Daredevil und Hawkeye.
