Dick Grayson: Robin, Nightwing, Batman, Agent of Spyral Appreciation 2019

Soon. Ric storyline doesn’t seem to be ending anything time soon.

I have to wonder how will they make his return strong

[Godlike13]

That’s easy, they won’t. They’ll probably leave Jurgan’s on even.

What's wrong with that? It's not like Jurgens is the one who made him Ric in the first place - he took on the story after that status quo had started. If you don't like the current story, that's editorial's fault, not his.

The only way I see Dick having a strong return is if they have him revive the Titans. The Titans/TT franchise has been a mess for years and still is, but it's much more preferable to this Ric nonsense.

Why would you say that when we know he back next spring
Why don’t we just make a second Dick Grayson thread called the nightwing drag so we can retread and repeat the same things

We don't know if he's back next spring. We only know it's in 2020.

He’s boring and formulaic, and just because he didn’t make him Ric doesn’t mean he hasn’t been terrible on the title. Every month the book falls to new lows under him. He needs to go. He has been as bad as Lobdell, worse even sales wise. He obviously generates no real market interest anymore.
And it’s not like he’s a new writer people just don’t know who they are, he’s a long time vet. People know who he is, they just aren’t interested. Leaving him on for the return just tells people get ready for more of the same. That’s not how you make a return strong.

I don't know if there's even going to be a Titans as we know them with 5G coming up.

[Godlike13]

Cancel the current series and relaunching it with new and more interesting creators would be a good start. But unfortunately after 2 years of unwavering shit with Ric, in this market, it’s going to be an uphill battle now for Dick. They not only have restore general interest but general fan morale on the character too. They can’t blatantly demonstrate to readers that they don’t really give a shit, for as long as the have with Ric, and that not have an impact going forward. Whatever they do next with Dick is what is going to truly feel the results of Ric and the unimpeded bad work by the current team on the book.

The lack of information about a potential Titans team in 5G is either because DC doesn't know who's going on the roster( the only confirmed changes seem to be Jon taking over for Clark and Luke taking over for Batman) or everyone connected to the the Titans are retired/ killed off or turned into villains.

Although Bendis' YJ will probably get a stay of execution for one reason or another (even if they're not selling amazingly).

Bendis' Young Justice will likely follow the format of the cartoon, keep some of the OG members around as mentors, and bring in new faces to maintain the "Young" part of the title.

And the book doesn't sell great in the direct market, but do we know what it looks like in digital, trade, and scholastic yet?

Less than Teen Titans, from what I've read.

Or on the Justice League.

[Godlike13]

Or just completely irrelevant. I’m not sure why the DC comic guys would change their stance on the Titans with 5G.
