Nightwing #43

The cover of Nightwing #43 sets a tense, charged tone with its bold tagline "Somebody's Gonna Pay!" — Nightwing in his blue-and-black suit is caught in a brutal struggle amid rubble with a blond, masked figure sporting a "NITE-WING" jersey, the two locked in what looks like a furious brawl under a moonlit sky. Cover pencils by Matt Haley and inks by Drew Geraci give the confrontation real kinetic energy, all sharp angles and gritty atmosphere. Inside, writer Chuck Dixon and artists Greg Land and Patrick Zircher bring "Improper Angles" to life — a 2000 DC series firing on all cylinders.
