In "Die Trying," Nightwing finds himself unexpectedly wealthy and puts his new fortune to work building a custom high-performance car, but his focus is quickly pulled away by a tense reunion with Tad, who's visibly unsettled by a conversation with the man who once wore the Tarantula mantle. The issue closes with a chilling glimpse of Man-Bat in the final panel, hinting at looming danger. Written by Chuck Dixon and brought to life by Scott McDaniel’s dynamic art, with inks by Karl Story and colors by Roberta Tewes and Jamison, the cover by McDaniel and Story captures the story’s electric tension.
