"BLOCKBUSTER" part one! After years of living in the shadows of others and traveling the globe, Nightwing has found a purpose and a city to call his own in Blüdhaven. Now, Blüdhaven's prodigal son, Blockbuster, returns to reclaim his city and dispose of Nightwing by any means necessary.

Well, it has undergone somewhat of a change. Blockbuster, it seems, has been delayed… and we get a chance for one of the successful graduates of DC's Writer Workshops. Nightwing #2 is now written by Michael McMillan with art by Christian Duce, a cover by Brad Walker and Andrew Hennessy and a variant cover by Casey Jones.

Following the events of "Nightwing Must Die," Nightwing has returned to Bludhaven and after an encounter with a criminal is feeling like a lesser superhero without having powers. The Flash (Wally West) comes to Bludhaven to get out of Titans Tower, spend a night fighting crime like they used to and try his best to not think about anything involving Barry Allen or Linda. The duo's night is interrupted, though, by a new villain named Timebomb who has the ability to create stasis fields that freeze time and allow him to commit large crimes. And this device allows him to fight the Flash effortlessly. Nightwing and Flash have to beat him and they have to find out where his time freezing equipment came from. This story leads directly into the upcoming "Blockbuster" story.

Here's an early look at the new cover…
