Nightwing #5

In "The Belly of the Beast," Nightwing finds himself caught in a web of corruption and violence in Bludhaven, where a brutal murder by a man named Tad forces a tense confrontation. As Dick Grayson struggles to regain his footing in a city where integrity is scarce and a slick new cop, Mac Arnot, climbs the ranks with questionable ethics, an unexpected return stirs up old shadows—Torque’s reappearance hints at deeper currents beneath the surface. Written by Chuck Dixon and brought to life with sharp, dynamic art by Greg Land and Patrick Zircher, with inks by Mark McKenna and colors by Patricia Mulvihill and Jamison, this issue’s cover by Scott McDaniel and Karl Story captures the grit and tension of a city on edge.
