icon_ukI've bemoaned, in the past, what the DCnU cost Dick Grayson, gone was his long history as Robin, his maturation into Nightwing, his role as team leader, and the fact he lived in a world beyond Gotham (not always far away, but beyond the city limits). The reboot had him ousted as Batman and losing Damian as his snidekick (That's like a sidekick, but well, more snarky) and living in Gotham City.
What plots they set him up with tended to get sidetracked by "Events", like his annoyingly Gotham-centric new family history for "Night of the Owls", which ended in nothing, as the "Talon" title (Which in fairness is a good deal of fun and you should check it out) sort of took over where I might have thought a new Nightwing arc would start (since Talon is all about a former rebellious Talon seeking to dismantle the remains of the Court of Owls powerbase) and the less said about the overblown nothing that was "The Death of the Family" the better IMHO...
So now we have Brett Booth, fresh of the Teen Titans, as new artist coming to join Kyle Higgins, and they've changed as much as possible, and frankly, it's the sort of start this title has needed since the reboot IMHO.
( Chicago, Chicago, that toddling town... )

DC's next gimmick cover theme may be a gimmick, but that doesn't mean it can't be pretty!

Sep. 20th, 2012 06:55 pmicon_ukAs I posted a preview page, I'm limited to three pages, so I picked three which highlight different aspects of the story.
( Hmmm, well, it's certainly different... sort of )

icon_uk... but then I realised that they might have been waiting politely for me to do it.
In any event, welcome to one of my rare "Context is for the weak" posts, as we discover the motivation of the cop who appears to be persecuting Nightwing.
( Okay, even I wasn't expecting THIS one! )
