Nightwing #24

Crouched on a gargoyle high above a city engulfed in fire and smoke, Nightwing surveys a skyline on the verge of collapse — alone, mask pushed up, the weight of the crisis etched into his posture. The cover tagline "A City Aflame… A Hero Alone!" captures the mood perfectly, and Will Conrad's art delivers that sense of isolation with real dramatic force. Part of DC's New 52 line, this 2013 issue of Nightwing promises a story that puts Dick Grayson squarely at the center of a crisis with no cavalry in sight.
