Nightwing #126

Nightwing faces a high-stakes rooftop confrontation in this January 2007 installment of "Targets, Part 2," as Dick Grayson — in his blue-and-black costume, escrima stick raised — squares off against a red-armored, rocket-propelled adversary whose jet exhaust tears across the building's edge in a ring of fire. The tension between the two figures, caught mid-motion against a moonlit night sky, is palpable, with cover art by Christian Alamy delivering clean, energetic linework that puts the danger front and center. Marv Wolfman and Dan Jurgens continue their run here, making this a solid chapter for anyone following Nightwing's solo adventures.
