Following the recent announcements that Teen
Titans and the Suicide Squad were being relaunched this summer, DC Comics now
announces that Nightwing will also be getting the same treatment. According to
USA Today, DC is planning to rebrand Nightwing, aka Dick Grayson from a masked vigilante
to a superspy in a new series simply titled Grayson.
To be written by Hack/Slash co-creator Tim
Seeley and former CIA counterterrorism operations officer Tom King, with art by
Mikel Janin, Grayson takes place in the aftermath of Forever Evil, where much
of the DC Universe believes that he's dead.
"He's doing something that's going to cause
pain to his friends and family, but he believes in the cause. That tension
between having to do something good but having the cost of it being pain to his
family, it drives him a little crazy," King said about the series
So Grayson will be leaving the world
of supervillains behind? No. Despite now working for the Spyral spy agency,
Seeley and King are planning to give him his very own nemesis.
"He's always been a character who hasn't
had a villain associated with him," King said. "We want to give him his Lex Luthor,
his Joker."
The first issue of Grayson will hit the
shelves on July 2nd.
