Nightwing #20

From the New 52 era of DC Comics, Nightwing #20 arrives with a cover that crackles with electric menace — a shadowy, lightning-wreathed figure looms behind a staggered Dick Grayson, whose eyes are marked with a bold "X" suggesting he's been robbed of his sight. The tagline "Blinded by the Prankster!" sets the stage for Kyle Higgins's story "Flying Blind," while Brett Booth and Norm Rapmund's cover art delivers a striking contrast of neon blue electricity against deep shadows. It's a vivid snapshot of Nightwing caught at his most vulnerable — and that tension alone makes this one hard to put down.
