As an adult, the former sidekick took the identity of Nightwing and now forges his own identity as a crimefighter. This latest volume in the series written by Legendary author of THE NEW TEEN TITANS, Marv Wolfman, explores the lost year of Dick Grayson's life, after he quit being the Dark Knight's partner and before he joined the New Teen Titans.

The new Vigilante stands for everything that Nightwing thrives not to be, and accompanied by the look into Grayson's past, it makes for a very good read. My only regret is that it was cut short (thanks to The Ressurection of Ras Al Ghul), but hopefully with the Vigilante series starting later this month, will eventually get more of what happened. ...
