However, I'm not sure that an issue of Nightwing was the outlet to use... <BR/><BR/>I actually read an interview somewhere where Devin had said that the scene wasn't a rape, but that the sex was not consensual, which if you think about it doesn't make any sense. <BR/><BR/>To me though, while the rape was what gets the most publicity out of this issue, the thing that annoyed me the most was the way Nightwing allowed Tarantula to execute Blockbuster. That act was so contrary to the entire Dick Grayson character. <BR/><BR/>While the raping of a male character is unique, especially by a woman, it just seemed so tacked on with everything else that happened in this comic. It just seemed so unneccesary... I guess depending on what comes in the next few issues will determine what, if anything this act will add to the series.x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-13793389833158003112008-11-12T15:01:00.000-05:002008-11-12T15:01:00.000-05:00I have never read this issue, but I've read commen...I have never read this issue, but I've read comments people made about it in forums. From ramblings I've seen (which may not be true) the writer of the issue was raped, and she wanted an outlet for her expereience. So if the rape seems purposeless to the storyline, it may just be a catharsis for the writer. On the one hand it sounds kind of out-of-place, but on the other, it actually makes Nightwing more unique. That's not a storyline I've seen in any other comic with a male lead.Kellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08968990603380238489noreply@blogger.com
