Nightwing #71

Nightwing #71 sets the stage for a bold new direction, as the cover — penciled and inked by Michael Golden — hurls Dick Grayson's alter ego through a blinding explosion of light, debris, and shattered rubble in a breathtaking display of kinetic energy. The tagline "A New Chapter Begins… With a Bang!" says it all, and Golden's dynamic composition delivers on that promise with Nightwing's blue-suited figure caught mid-flight against a cascade of golden shockwaves. Writer Devin Grayson and artist Rick Leonardi bring their talents to "Something About Mary," making this 2002 issue a genuinely exciting jumping-on point for fans of Bludhaven's finest.
