Nightwing #56

The cover of Nightwing #56 makes its promise loud and clear — "At Last… The Return of Ric Grayson!" — as a determined, street-clothed figure surges forward wielding one of Nightwing's signature escrima sticks, chains trailing behind him amid a chaotic crowd of panicked bystanders and an armed opponent closing in from the right. Chris Mooneyham's cover art crackles with kinetic energy, all snarling intensity against a smoky urban skyline. With Scott Lobdell and Fabian Nicieza co-writing and Davide Gianfelice on art, this 2019 chapter of "Night Terrors" has the feel of a long-building story finally shifting into a higher gear.
