Dark Knight News
As always, Nightwing #108 is a comic with amazing scripts, stunning art, glorious color, and crystal clear, crisp lettering and sound effects from Wes Abbott. This series has been nigh-on perfect month after month for years, and that's why it's at the top of my reading list every time. - 90
COMICON
The pirate life ain’t all it’s cracked up to be as Dick Grayson has quickly found out within ‘Nightwing’ #108, the penultimate chapter of the hero’s current story. Bold colorful action alongside some character work is the name of the game for a story-arc that has proven to be a good bit of fun all around. - 90
Geek Dad
This issue is a pure swashbuckling adventure, that actually manages to work in some really excellent dialogue along the way. It's certainly a weird divergence for the titleand one that leaves many of the ongoing subplots behindbut it actually has some fascinating reveals about the way Bludhaven works that promise some interesting fallout. - 90

Nightwing is undercover for this four-issue arc, but it hasn’t felt like a time-killer. And with this unexpected cliffhanger it’s gonna be a long wait for the next installment. - 80
AIPT
While Taylor and Byrne have one last issue together for “The Crew of the Crossed,” this one ends on a huge cliffhanger that will leave fans wondering what happens next and how everything will fall into place in the conclusion. Meanwhile, “Odd Hours” ends on a great note, offering a fun adventure and a heartwarming conclusion. Overall, Nightwing #108 is another solid entry in the series. - 80

From the leap, it's clear Stephen Byrne should have been drawing Nightwing stories long, long ago. Beyond that, Taylor's script refuses to pull any punches as the writer continues punishing Dick Grayson one panel after the next. Maybe it's sadistic, but it's a treat to see the writer work his magic on this character and story. - 80
DC Comics News
Nightwing #108 is another solid issue in this run. The surprises surprises and they suggest some deeper developments to come. This whole "pirate storyline has been interesting from the first time the Hold was introduced. There's a lot of heart in this issue between both stories, which is one of the strengths that is a part of this title. - 80

Overall I liked this quite a bit, the most I've enjoyed a Nightwing issue in a while. - 80

Nightwing’s pirate adventure gets bigger in a fun way, and then gets badder in a really exciting way. - 80

Nightwing takes a huge leap with its latest chapter, introducing a brand new location unlike anything the series has done before. Taking action-adventure to the high seas continues to prove successful for the former Boy Wonder and his superstar creative team. - 80

Comic Watch
Nightwing fans are likely to feel the pirate arc is overstaying its welcome—which is a bummer because there’s so much that could be done. Hopefully next issue picks up better. - 70
Batman-News
In my opinion, I can't blame anyone for double crossing Bea. Under her and her father's watch, the entire organization is unquestionably a complete joke. Honestly, Tom Taylor has done an atrocious job of endearing readers to this strangely commercially viable pirate crew. I can't think of a single reason Quartermaster and this group should have ever thought to justify threatening anyone. Even the menacing new villain isn't enough to garner any real challenge out of Nightwing. Overall, while I very much enjoy Stephen Byrne's illustrations and the idea of the group, The Crew of The Crossed Keys are staggeringly underwhelming pirates. At this point, I just want Nightwing to get his possessions from the vault, and let Dirk revitalize the group for evil if there is a chance it will help. - 70
Comic Book Revolution
Nightwing #108 keeps up the high stakes though the predictability in the plot did remove some of the excitement. Tom Taylor and Stephen Byrne strength as a creative team keeps you investment in where Dick Grayson and Bea Bennett's story goes. Add in a fun ending to the back-up story by Michael Conrad and Serg Acuna provides more value to this comic book. - 70

This pirate arc is reaching its final sea legs in terms of keeping my interest. The issue’s plot plays out in predictable succession with forced humor mixed in to produce a slog of an entry into of the more mediocre arcs Tom Taylor’s run on the series to date. Taylor hasn’t done enough to make Bea’s role as pirate lord (or her apparent influence over Haven’s political infrastructure as revealed here) feel earned, nor does it allow the issue’s climactic final seen to payoff in the way it was likely intended. Stephen Byrne’s art is the highlight of this issue, with many callbacks to earlier designs from Bruno Redondo’s approach to depicting moving scenes into single panels. We’ll see how this arc concludes soon, but I’m ready to make port and get back on land. - 50
Weird Science DC Comics
Nightwing #108 is a mediocre entry in the pirate arc with passable art and a bizarre retcon that makes Nightwing appear even more ineffectual in his series. For once, the ending has a bit of an emotional punch, but the overall comic is dramatically flat. - 50
