Dick Grayson: Robin, Nightwing, Agent of Spyral - Appreciation

[HLOTS]

It's really nice to see Dick getting some cool covers. Thanks DC.

Gorgeous cover. Maybe Batman is just on it to help sell the book as it hopefully finds its footing.

If i wasn't so bitter toward Batman I would really love this cover.

Edit: BATMAN 75 THEME MONTH VARIANT COVERS

Love it

[The Conductor]

I'm cautiously looking forwards to "Grayson", I like the character enough to not care what kind of spandex he wears. And I really like the new (what I assume to be) Helena Bertinelli. It's a great example of a racelift done right.

I'm also really looking forward to this book and even though it is unlikely i hope this new direction sticks. Everything I have heard from interviews seems pretty perfect and that last section of Nightwing 30 was pretty awesome.

I like the cover, It's stylish and fits Grayson. I like to believe that Batman is Dick in this and not Bruce.

That's really nice, even if Bruce is honoring Judge Dredd's scowl.

I'm going to give Grayson a try. Not having any history with Dick's character will be a benefit for me.

Actually, it probably won't seeing as how this story is a continuation of Batman Incorporated and the Spyral agency.

But those kinds of things are easy to catch up on -- just Google. Meanwhile, not having preconceived notions about Dick's character, what he should and should not do or look like or think, could help make the comic enjoyable.

I don't see it as being a problem for someone that isn't aware of those two things though. I'm coming at this without having read much of Batman, Inc. myself (not a fan of Morrison to be honest) and don't think I'll have trouble following along here.

Really looking forward to Grayson starting. Hopefully it delivers on it's promise to elevate the character to where he belongs.

Indeed. If I like the comic, I'll research a bit more. Lately, I've been finding the less I know going into a comic or character I'm not well versed in, the more I enjoy the character.

I feel the same myself. I enjoy the characters I know well but I also like being able to try out characters that I either had no interest in before or who are completely new ones. Takes me back to when I first started reading comics and everything was new to me, which is why I took the reboot as an opportunity to explore other corners of the DCU that I hadn't found very interesting to me before. I also find myself doing the same with Marvel titles recently. When I started reading comics I knew almost nothing about the characters or books I was interested in except that I wanted to give them a try and it's very rare nowadays that I get to experience that anymore. I imagine that's where your coming from.

Same here. I have been trying to be more open in regards to different writers interpretation of a character that I'm familiar with. I think it allows the writers to play with different aspects of a character without worrying about fans crying this character wouldn't do this or that. I think that's why things have gotten to this point with Dick. He was to type cast as the golden boy who would never do this or never do that. In my opinion that doesn't allow a writer much room to explore with. It made the character very predictable which can be boring in some ways. Grayson has the potential to add more dimension and depth to the character.

In a way, yes this is where I'm coming from. The spy angle is bait for me and I like the artist too. If I enjoy the book and Dick, great. That's all I want really.
