Nightwing #25

The "Blockbuster" arc reaches its anniversary milestone with this extra-sized issue, and Brad Walker and Drew Hennessy's cover makes the stakes unmistakably clear — a massive, grotesque Blockbuster pins a battered Nightwing to the ground, jaws open and teeth bared, while a blond figure looms ominously in the background. It's a raw, visceral image that captures Dick Grayson at his most tested, with Blockbuster's sheer physical dominance filling nearly every inch of the frame. Tim Seeley, Minkyu Jung, and Chris Sotomayor bring their 2017 Rebirth run to this high-tension chapter in fine form.
