icon_ukAuthor Benjamin Percy is starting his run as writer on Nightwing in May, joined by new artist Chris Mooneyham. There's an article up about it at Entertainment Weekly
"The best way to approach Nightwing is as a high-octane, adrenaline-fueled mystery and adventure.
Consider how Gotham and Blüdhaven are shadow-soaked, crime-ridden environments. One of the things I love about Nightwing is his irrepressible optimism. This joy—a love of the game, a showman’s theatricality—is tonally essential to my approach. I see it as a necessary counterweight to material that might otherwise feel oppressively grim. In this way, Grayson really captures the hopeful maxim that has defined the Rebirth era."

icon_uk...which hasn't been fair as some of the recent stories have been rather good, but having just seen THIS from Nightwing #38, if I didn't post this IMMEDIATELY, I suspect I would need to resign from Scans_Daily forthwith..

Now, as we sort of know, there are few people Damian actually likes. He respects a couple, loathes several and disdains nearly everyone else on the planet. But people he actually LIKES, we're probably limited to Colin (who seems to been lost in the New52) and of course, his big brother and favourite partner in crimefighting, Nightwing.

So what could possibly increase tensions between them?
Perhaps the only thing that Damian is ALWAYS concerned about

A Nightwing catch-up - Nightwing 9 and 10
Dec. 26th, 2016 11:18 pmicon_ukThe current twice monthly scheduling of Nightwing is good news for those of us who like more Dick in our lives, but can make the deciding of when to make posts a little tricky, but I'm working on it.
The latest arc has Dick moving away from Gotham, to somewhere both familiar and different, on multiple levels.

Rebirth - Nightwing #1 - Back in blue
Jul. 15th, 2016 12:41 amicon_ukAnother busy issue to start a Dick Grayson related series as we close off a few strands from "Grayson" and set things up for the new series...

informationgeekLet's face it, we all knew a crossover was coming eventually in Rebirth. Now, DC did say there would be breaks to allow the bi-weekly series to stay on schedule. This sounds like this crossover over will be that.

icon_ukAs may, or may not, be known, the planned issue of Nightwing #30 by Kyle Higgins and with guest art by Meghan Hetrick was set aside to make way for the King and Seeley Nightwing #30 that came out last week, and despite having Bruce and Dick half naked for much of the time... did not exactly set the fanbase aglow with positivity.
Meghan has now posted all the approved, though unlettered, art pages, and has put them up for sale, so we can see what the original issue would have looked like
( And it would have looked bloody spectacular! )
