Is Nightwing Ending?
DC has already announced “Fallen Grayson”, a new story arc that will culminate writer Tom Taylor and artist Bruno Redondo’s time on Nightwing. “Fallen Grayson” will be a five-part arc beginning in Nightwing #114, which will be available wherever comics are sold on Tuesday, May 21st. In it, the culmination of Heartless’s sabotage on Nightwing reaches its dramatic climax when Nightwing loses his ability to leap, impeding his duties to be the superhero we know and love.
“We’re pretty damn proud of our guy,” Taylor revealed. “and I’m very proud of our whole team on our 40+ issues of Nightwing. Everything we’ve worked on since issue #78 has been leading to this story. The villain, Heartless (working with Tony Zucco—the man who killed Dicks’ parents), has planned what comes next for a very long time. He has watched a city changed for the better by one hero, and he has waited for the moment when tearing out the heart of Bludhaven would hurt the most. Bruno and I wanted to put Nightwing on a pedestal. We wanted to show how high this flying Grayson could soar. Now, it’s time for him to fall.”
As mentioned above, Super-Pets Special: Bitedentity Crisis #1 will be released wherever comics are sold on Wednesday, July 30th.
