Nightwing #0

Nightwing #0 arrives as part of DC's New 52 initiative, and the cover by Eddy Barrows wastes no time making an impression — Dick Grayson bursts through the page itself in his red-and-black costume, escrima sticks raised and ready, with a determined look that says he's done waiting in anyone's shadow. The torn-panel effect surrounding him gives the image a kinetic energy that feels perfectly suited to a zero issue promising to dig into who this hero really is. Writers Tom DeFalco and Kyle Higgins, along with artist Eddy Barrows and inker Eber Ferreira, bring "Perpetual Motion" to life in what shapes up to be a compelling look at Nightwing on his own terms.
