Like the commenter above, I have to say that I liked NW right upto the point where his building blows up (after which point he sleeps on fire escapes with newspapers for blankets, despite the fact that his childhood home is just over the river and there isn't a superhero in the universe who wouldn't pull out their couches for him. I can never look at that panel without howling with laughter.)
But you know, it's hard to hate Devin Grayson when poor Dickie has pretty much always mistreated by his writers. My one especial peeve with her writing is how she managed to make Dick and Babs' relationship seem so damaging and toxic. Other than that, let's face it - the only time NW has ever got fair treatment after The New Teen Titans was at the hands of Wolfman, Dixon and Tomasi. Devin was actually one of his better writers despite descending into utter crackfic territory during the latter part of her run. I realize that this is actually more of a sad commentary on the ham-handedness of his other writers and less a commendation of her writing, but honestly, I'll just take what I can get. Even when the overall plot makes NO FUCKING SENSE (as is usual in comics, I find) she writes good character interaction when she's on form. And I throroughly enjoy her unrestrained fangirling and objectifiction of Nightwing that comes out in her writing, in an indulgent sort of way. And yeah, I found that rape scene to be icky as all hell but I have selective canon retention. Retcons are wonderful things sometimes and it's only a matter of time before one comes along.
Honestly, after the toe-curling monstrosity that was NW Annual 2 and the majority of OYL (DIES BRUCE JONES DIE!) Devin's fond fangirly crack feels like literary genuis. I may revise this opinion drastically if I ever find out that she had more to do with the fridging and character assasination of certain people in War Games and War Crimes than formerly suspected, but for now I'm not going to fuss about it.
