The blue stripes are back! Nightwing gets an updated suit starting this issue! Meanwhile, after the distressing events of rescuing Haley from getting dognapped by bad guys, Nightwing discovers there are way more hits on Dick Grayson than he realized, thanks to going public about his fortune, and he needs to find a clever way to be Dick Grayson and Nightwing at the same time. Meanwhile, Heartless tries to buy power away from Blockbuster in order to take control of Blüdhaven, and both of these big bads have Nightwing in their crosshairs.

Looks like Gunbunny was hired to kill Dick Grayson (not his Nightwing alter ego) and…

…the Titans were there to thwart the attack thanks to Barbara Gordon aka Oracle also aka Batgirl, but Gunhawk is still on the attack…

…leaving the Flash Wally West to…

…to take his long-time friend to Mister Terrific Michael Holt for…

…a new more protective costume.

Blockbuster, behind the attacks, sends a B Team in who…

…are taken out by the Titans who also confront Blockbuster in dramatic fashion.

The book ends with the revelation Heartless is still in the picture and…

…he liberates Gunhawk’s heart from him in addition to teasing a confrontation with Blockbuster.

The Pulse:

A thrilling issue that elevated Dock Grayson to Nightwing level in terms of focus and interest in the book. Compelling action. Nice to see the Titans together. Amazing art. 9 out of 10.
