Nightwing #119

Part of DC's "One Year Later" initiative, this June 2006 issue drops readers right into the tension with a striking cover by Mark Simpson — two figures in Nightwing's signature black-and-blue suit clash dramatically against a blazing red cityscape, one diving upside-down with a wire trailing behind while the other rises to meet the challenge, escrima sticks at the ready. The dynamic composition captures the acrobatic intensity that defines Dick Grayson's world, with the city sprawling ominously below. With Bruce Jones writing and Joe Dodd on interior art, this is a compelling chapter in Nightwing's post-"Infinite Crisis" chapter.
