Ya, thats a lovely statue.
Man, those Nightwing solicits have my complete attention. This is exactly the kind of stuff I've wanted to see out of Nightwing. A death race? Mobius chair? Leviathan? Hell yeah. It's like Percy was reading my posts, it's so right up my alley.
I hope the issues actually live up to these descriptions. I liked Percy's first issue of Nightwing well enough, but haven't picked up the second issue yet. What do you guys say? Is it at least the same quality as his Arrow? I liked that enough to trade wait it.

Too lazy to find it now, but Percy confirmed the book is back to being twice monthly. Which means we get #50 in October now (and #51), guessing something relatively big will happen in it.
So in July, we get Batgirl #25 and Nightwing #46. In August, we get Nightwing #47 and the Annual #1. September, #48 and an oversized #49. And over these months, from#51-55, and probably beyond, we get Dick in King's Batman. And now even Titans may be going twice monthly, but regardless it's getting an oversized #25 and #26 in September. Looks like someone just remembered the Titans series and YJO comes out this year, and that it'll do DC good to promote Dick more. Although I'm sure King is using Dick because he wants to and that Percy is only writing so much because he easily can.
I’m glad the double ship is back, and Percy has not been bad so far. Still not sold on the art though. I just don’t think it fits.
Plus issue 49 is 48 pages. And yeah, the art is certainly different at the moment
The double shipping on both nightwing and the titans on that month ,might be a DC promotion for the digital shows lunching later this year.
This also indicates the dcu service may lunch September.
September Nightwing Expenses
Nightwing #48 & #49 = $8.00
Titans #25 & #26 = $9.00
Batman #54 = $4.00
More or less $21.00 just for my Nightwing comics... I might even add Batman #55 for another $4.00 depending how much Dick plays in the story. If I don't buy one console game then that is at least 2 months of Nightwing. Rest in Peace my gaming hobby. Hello more Mr. Grayson
Dick is playing a part in King's Batman, but I'm not buying until I know he will have at least 1/3 "screen time". I read King's Batman in trades. It would take a lot to move it to my pull list, especially when Justice League is also double shipping. The recent Batgirl & Nightwing team up was just okay, so I might skip Batgirl #25. Although this might change when I hear in the next months those issues were great. The $3.99 double shipping is killing my wallet faster than Steam sales.
If you like his previous issue, you will like his recent issue. For me, his Nightwing run is not in the same quality as his Green Arrow. But it might be too early to tell. He has only written two issues.

Thanks. Maybe I'll pick up the second issue this weekend when I hit the LCS. I was on the fence about it, and still am, but that "death race" solicit is really making me question whether I should give it a little bit to find its stride. Percy's Arrow was fun, in a heavy-handed, beat-you-with-a-club-with-its-message kinda way. It was fitting for Ollie's character so I felt it fit, but I hope for more subtlety from his Nightwing. Maybe I'll give Percy a real shot to win me over here......

Im happy about the double ship, but it’s a little confusing. Creatively there doesn’t really seem to be a push or something to help accommodate it.

I thought the second issue was just as good if not better than the first. It does have some heavy hand to it though, not enough to get on my nerves or anything. Didn't read GA so not sure how it compares there for your taste. I'm going to check this whole current arc out, it seems pretty cool. Hopefully it stays good or gets even better because like you, I'm loving the sound of a motorcycle death race.
Maybe something interesting can happen faster now.
Titans must debut in september to make the most of all the dick grayson issues
I wonder if this is Percy's upcoming Morrison homage storyline. I mean kinda feels that way. Leviathan, Silencer (new supplementary Leviathan concept), Flamingo, a motorcycle death race. Mobius Chair stuff? Say word?
