Nightwing #55

The stakes couldn't feel more urgent than they do on Chris Mooneyham's cover for Nightwing #55, where a determined young hero — weapons in hand, costume torn — squares off against a menacing, staff-wielding Scarecrow amid swirling clouds of sickly green fear gas. The tagline says it all: "If a new hero fails… a city falls!" — a reminder that Blüdhaven's fate rests on shoulders still proving themselves. With Scott Lobdell and Fabian Nicieza wrapping up the six-part "Knight Terrors" arc, this 2019 issue promises a tense confrontation between fresh resolve and one of Gotham's most psychologically formidable villains.
