Nightwing #90

Nightwing finds himself badly outnumbered on Patrick Zircher and Andy Owens's kinetic cover, where the blue-suited hero charges forward against a chaotic press of armed adversaries — a bat-armored brute, a gun-toting cowboy, a sword-wielding fighter, a goggled mercenary, and several others converging from every angle against a bold red-and-white spiral. Devin Grayson's "Burned" arc was already delivering high-stakes trouble for Dick Grayson, and this 2004 issue makes a strong visual case that the odds are nowhere near in his favor. If you've been following Nightwing's solo series, issue #90 looks like exactly the kind of chapter you won't want to skip.
