Nightwing #105

Part five of six in the "Nightwing Year One" saga arrives with a cover by Scott McDaniel and Andy Owens that makes an immediate statement: Nightwing and guest-star Robin surge forward side by side, fists raised and expressions fierce, while a fallen Batman lies in the foreground — his bat-symbol prominent, cape splayed beneath them. That "Batman Down!" tagline paired with this dynamic duo charging into action sets a genuinely compelling tone for the penultimate chapter of this origin-revisiting story. Writer Scott Dixon and Chuck Dixon, with McDaniel's kinetic linework carrying through from interiors to cover, make this 2005 issue a compelling stop in Dick Grayson's evolution from Boy Wonder to solo hero.
