"DC wanted horror stories… Excuse me… 'Mystery' stories' revolving around all the different holidays. Well before I knew it, all of the older, established comic book writers from the generation of Denny O'Neil, Len Wein, Marv Wolfman..., etc. quickly gobbled up such things as Christmas, Valentine's Day, Halloween, yada yada yada. So I decided to go the most 'Unexpected' way and being merely a DC Junior Woodchuck, I asked for and got a go ahead to craft a story about Easter. The one warning I was given was that they did not want a Jesus/zombie 'back from the dead' story. Figuring I had nothing to lose, I decided to push the envelope as far as DC, my editor Jack Harris, and the powers that be at the Comics Code would allow. After an inspiring listen to my childhood record of Gene Autry singing, 'Here Comes Peter Cottontail, Hopping Down the Bunny Trail,' I started writing." -- Michael Uslan

Issue #123's ending had had the Flyboiz of Blüdhaven asking Nightwing for help.

Issue #124's beginning was Oracle expositing what that help would involve - medical attention for those Flyboiz who'd been poisoned by significant exposure to " Chemo-infected corpses " - and Nightwing summing up with " They need blood transfusions. "

This did not sit well with the Teddies, the other Blüdhaven gang Nightwing was helping.

( The Flyboiz and the Teddies had been in conflict. )

The current run opened on the city's criminal dynamics being disrupted with a bomb.

What followed included Blüdhaven police getting jetpacks and laser guns - and Nightwing's suspicions of the givers, Spheric Solutions and its CEO Olivia Pearce.

In issue #122, Nightwing'd discussed those with Blüdhaven mayor Melinda Grayson-Lin and police commissioner Maggie Sawyer.

( They weren't receptive. )

Rather than a series of unconnected stories, this fifth annual DC Pride book will feature a framing story, with different characters having their own episode within it.

From the Press Release:

DC Pride 2025 brings DC’s heroes together when a century-old tavern, the center of queer life in Gotham City, unexpectedly announces its imminent closure. It’s a huge loss to the community, and generations of patrons return to pay respects to a space they’ve endowed with entire lifetimes of memories, wishes and dreams—including Alan Scott, the Green Lantern. Alan returns, for one last time, to the place he fell for his first love, Johnny Ladd, to touch the wall on which they carved the symbol of their love, to remember the days before everything went to hell for them…and to say goodbye.

But love is a kind of magic, and, in Alan’s experience, magic can take on a life of its own. Before anyone knows it’s happening, heroes, villains, and civilians alike from across the DCU with powerful ties to this mysterious place—the Question, Midnighter and Apollo, Harley Quinn, Green Lantern Jo Mullein, Bunker, Connor Hawke, and Blue Snowman among them—find themselves spirited away to strange, alternate worlds where everything they ever thought they wanted can be theirs…but at what cost?

Issue #1'd had three-years-in Batman identifying the killer, who'd started with a lawyer and continued with those the lawyer's work'd touched.

Issue #2 opened on Batman explaining what he'd deduced to Jim Gordon.

" .. you know who he's going after next. "

The run's not like the preceding, which traded on the reader's investment in Oliver Queen as a character with a publication history in a shared universe - it's telling a crime story with only nodding acknowledgements to the greater setting, one where Ollie's role isn't obviously stage-setting for a future story.

The issue marks the shift in scope with Green Arrow's first appearance in it being the foiling of a convenience store robbery.

Afterwards, the crime's introduced.

( It's through news-as-exposition. )
