Nightwing #103

Part three of six in the "Nightwing Year One" saga finds Dick Grayson in a fighting stance, fists clenched and expression fierce, while the ghostly red form of Deadman looms large behind him — a pairing that makes this 2005 issue feel genuinely charged with otherworldly tension. McDaniel and Owens's cover crackles with kinetic energy, capturing two very different heroes sharing the same uneasy space. If you've been following this retelling of how Dick Grayson stepped out of Batman's shadow to forge his own identity, this chapter's guest-star promises a fascinating shift in the story's direction.
