Nightwing #116

Part of DC's 2006 Infinite Crisis crossover, this issue arrives with a title — "Betrayed!!" — that says plenty about where things stand for Dick Grayson. The cover by Phil Hester and Ande Parks puts a battered, bloodied Nightwing front and center, his red-and-black suit torn and his expression a mix of defiance and pain, while two sword-clashing silhouettes loom in the fiery orange background behind him — one clearly the armored, orange-and-black figure of Deathstroke. Writer Devin Grayson and her artistic team deliver what looks to be a brutal chapter in Nightwing's Infinite Crisis journey.
