Nightwing #1 - First pages and the red-eye explained

[icon_uk]

Now with added letters.

Found these over on tumblr, I suspect they might be from a preview copy, since they do appear to be scanned rather than released graphic images.

We've seen a couple of these pages unlettered







Image removed as it resulted in more than four pages from a MORE than recent comic.



I like that Dick's confident about things again (even if calling himself "flawless", whilst possibly accurate from any number of angles seems a little presumptive) and especially that the red eyes are not his standard look!

This book looks promising, especially if Dick is taking all that he learned from being Batman and using it to improve his crime-fighting methods. :)

Also, unpopular opinion, but I'm really liking the red and black costume a bit more than the black and blue one he originally had. :3

If they continue coloring it this way, I'm with you! Sadly, the black and blue SHOULD have looked this good, but was often presented as blue on darker blue.

Yeah, as a colour scheme red and black works really well since they contrast better than black and blue, with blue being a cool colour and all.

Which would be correct I think, as it was usually depicted as light blue on on navy blue in the comics.

A very very dark blue, but the light reflected off it as blue highlights, rather than white.

Giving it a more washed-out look than this version has. I imagine the blue would look amazing with these artists!

You might want to try this then :)

YES!!!! THAT is AWESOME! DC's missing an opportunity. They should publish two versions of the book, and let the readers choose!)
