Nightwing #5

Part 2 of DC Rebirth's "Night of the Monster Men" crossover arrives with a cover by Yanick Paquette that wastes no time setting the tone — Nightwing, in his blue-striped suit, is caught in the grip of a massive, spider-limbed creature with a grotesque, skull-like face, the crimson background making the confrontation feel genuinely dire. Looming tendrils and eerie organic shapes crowd the foreground, suggesting the monster threat has grown well beyond anything a single hero should face alone. Writers Steve Orlando and Tim Seeley, with interior art by Rogê Antônio and colors by Chris Sotomayor, promise a dark and satisfying chapter in one of DC's most compelling 2016 team-up events.
