A Heartless Endeavor in Nightwing #116

It’s not all sunshine and backflips in the grimy, neon-laced streets of Blüdhaven: our favorite dark-goggled vigilante, Dick Grayson, finds himself in yet another sticky situation. And no, it’s not slathered with his nemesis Heartless’s evil caramel. Nightwing #116, the most recent installment of the Fallen Grayson saga penned by Tom Taylor and brought to life by artist Bruno Redondo, dishes out a twist no one saw coming. In a twist of cruel ingenuity, Heartless sets up Grayson to don his very costume and seals the deal by accusing Dick of a crime he didn’t commit. As if that wasn’t bitter enough, all of Grayson’s government allies are also slapped with corruption charges. It seems crime-fighting just got a whole lot messier in Blüdhaven, folks.

An Epic Finale in the Pipeline for Nightwing

Taylor and Redondo haven’t been cutting cardboard since they took over the Nightwing narrative from issue #78. Their spin on Robin’s oldest living incarnation has raked in a humongous fan base, even overshadowing their previous high-water mark with the New York Times-bestselling Injustice series. Their achievements stretched into workshops and award ceremonies alike, bagging Eisners for Best Continuing Series and Best Cover Artist.

The Nightwing series, under Taylor and Redondo’s guiding hands, soared to the rank of one of DC’s best sellers. The series fared marvelously in both monthly periodicals and as trade-paperbacks, garnering critical acclaim and winning industry accolades. Looks like these two are ready to hang up their superhero storytelling gloves at the peak of their game. Let’s just say, Nightwing #116 won’t be fizzling out anytime soon. Rather, the duo promises to leave the stage with a deafening bang.

Pull up a Chair for the Nightwing Showdown

The chilling climax will be unveiled on July 17, 2024, at comic shops all around. Time to start the countdown. If these pages could fly, they’d be scattered across Gotham’s rooftops within minutes. But for now, comic enthusiasts worldwide must exercise a smidgen of patience until the Day D arrives. Nightwing #116, scribed by Tom Taylor and depicted by Bruno Redondo, is one drama-packed nook of the DC world you won’t want to slip through your gloved fingers. So, mark your calendars, don a cape if it suits your dramatic flare, and anticipate the showdown of a lifetime. And remember, crime does not pay, but justice clearly does.
