scans_dailyA cover and four pages from the forthcoming "Deadman and the Flying Graysons" have been posted over at the DCU Blog
Dick's look at Boston and thinking... "Something about that is familiar, but why do I get the feeling it SHOULD be me tied up?"
Have to say, I'm loving the art here.... (plus we get to see where Dick inherited that magnificent posterior of his... HEL-LOOOOOO John Grayson! :D
Check out panel 1! (Well, you can check out the others too, but c'mon... RAGDOLL!!
Interesting that John appears to be wearing a variation on Dick's new look!
And Kyle Higgins has some comments about his stint as new writer on Nightwing...
Nrama: As you take over Nightwing, Dick Grayson is a little different than he's ever been before, isn't he? Simply because he's been Batman?
Higgins: That's a big part of what we're doing in the series. I don't think you could do a Nightwing book at this point without dealing with the fact that he was just Batman. I'm not sure I should say much more than that, except that one of the reasons he's Nightwing now is because of him just being Batman. You'll have to keep reading to find that out.
But in terms of his skills and confidence level, Nightwing has an even greater experience behind him now. So in our comic, he's become the best version of Nightwing that he's ever been. It's what has made him better.
Nrama: He's working out of Gotham in this title, right?
Higgins: Yeah. Gotham City was always the one place he'd always avoided, but now he's been successful there. So he's staying in Gotham because the city has changed around him, and he feels like the city genuinely needs him.
Nrama: Since he's in Gotham, does he bump into other people in the Bat-universe?
Higgins: Yeah. The thing about Dick Grayson, and it's something we're playing a lot with in Gates of Gotham, is that in his nature, he's a very social person. That's one of the big things that separates him from Bruce.
He works well with people. He works well with other members of the Bat-family. So yeah, there will be people popping up in the comic. And Dick's direction in Gotham City is tied to him continuing his mission, because he feels the city needs him and he's done avoiding this place as he has over the last few years, which Scott has explored wonderfully in Detective Comics. So it's not just him isolated in the city.
So Dick is back to knocking around Gotham... not sure how I feel about that, Dick shouldn't feel tied to Gotham (except, of course, literally) maybe he's suing for joint custody of Damian!
Oh, and to close the evening off, this lovely piece of fanart I found over on tumblr
