Nightwing #42

Nightwing #42 promises an intense clash as Dick Grayson squares off blade-to-blade against a grotesque, demon-masked foe in a mid-air sword duel, with a looming shadowy giant dominating the background and a chained, cloaked figure watching from below — the "Dragon's Duel!" tagline says it all. Jorge Jiménez's cover crackles with kinetic energy, capturing Nightwing in full acrobatic form, his escrima exchanged for steel as he meets his opponent's katana head-on. Written by the team of Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing with interior art by Jorge Corona and colors by Mat Lopes, this 2018 issue looks like a genuinely thrilling chapter for fans of Blüdhaven's favorite guardian.
