Grayson #4

Dick Grayson charges forward on Mikel Janín's striking checkered cover, surrounded on all sides by red-caped, white-masked female assassins closing in with weapons drawn — a composition that instantly telegraphs the dangerous double life at the heart of this series. Part of DC's New 52 initiative and published in January 2015 to coincide with Batman's 75th anniversary, this fourth issue carries the story title "The Raid," which fits the swarming cover threat perfectly. Writers Tim Seeley and Tom King, with colors by Jeromy Cox bringing the bold red-and-grey palette to life, have crafted a spy-thriller series that gives the former Boy Wonder a world all his own.
