Grayson Annual #2

[superfangirl1]

We get a brief flashback to Dick Grayson time as Robin, which details a team-up he and Batman had with Superman to take down Blockbuster.



In the present day Dick Grayson is preparing to leave Gotham and reintegrate himself into his role as an agent of Spyral. Leaping from a building, he is caught in midair by Superman, who thinks he’s suicidal.



After the death of the Fist’s leader, Christian Fleischer, his followers have devoted themselves to murdering people based on a “points system:” the better and rarer the kill, the more points you get, and the better position in the group.

Dick and Clark being superheroes, they’re worth more points, which they use to their advantage to keep the crazies from civilians and minimizing collateral damage.




Clark suggests they call Lex Luthor to help them, which Dick flat-out refuses.

I do like their interactions.

I've been finding this Grayson stuff to be generally pretty boring so appreciate the catch up. But should he be standing out in the open blurting all that out?

What have they got to lose? Everyone already knows both of their secret identities.

Well, Dick is still believed to be dead by pretty much everyone.

I forgot about that, good point. Though now the whole Bat-Family knows he's alive, so the news is starting to spread.

Always love when Clark is played as the "Cool uncle" to Dick, haven't seen much of that in recent years.

I loved this issue. So much great Clark-Dick interaction. There are some frames not posted here where they work in tandem, physically connecting, that play really well. Nice, natural dialog and the art is pretty. I'm REALLY not a fan of de-powered, crew cut Clark, but I liked him in this.

So that was fun. Now bring the real Superman back, DC!!

Not really on topic, but this reminds me of another occasion pre-new52 when Superman also caught a jumper who turned out to be Dick. Anyone recall which issue?

Ooh, I know what you're talking about. Dixon run, I believe.

Always happy to see some Clark/Dick interaction! Unlike Clark and Bruce, there's an easiness about their relationship that's fun to see. Interacting with Bruce is like pulling teeth. These two understand it's okay to enjoy your work, though lately it's been pretty dark for them.

I can't get used to that costume on Dick. That's Tim's thing, not Dick's.

Awww Clark and Dick hug. That's adorable.
