Secret Origins #8

Dick Grayson takes center stage on Bryan Hitch's kinetic cover, leaping forward in his sleek Grayson spy-operative gear with twin pistols raised — a far cry from his circus and Robin days, which are evoked in the background through two distinct Robin incarnations tumbling into action. This New 52 installment of Secret Origins promises an inside look at the stories behind the world's greatest heroes and villains, and with Tim Seeley, Tom King, and Stephen Mooney on interior duties, fans of the Grayson era have plenty to look forward to. A solid pick for anyone who wants to understand how Dick Grayson's remarkable journey — from the trapeze to the Batcave to the world of espionage — shaped one of DC's most enduring characters.
