Nightwing #151

Part of the "Last Rites" crossover, Nightwing #151 presents a striking cover by penciller Georges Jeanty and inker Karl Story: a composed but clearly tense Nightwing faces off against Two-Face, who looms in the background sketching an X over the hero's image with a marker — a chilling visual threat rendered with quiet menace. The creative team inside includes writer Peter J. Tomasi and artists Doug Mahnke and Shawn Moll, making this a strong entry in Dick Grayson's solo series as it winds through one of 2009's most talked-about Batman-family storylines.
