Nightwing's Butt Now In The Capable Hands Of Humphries And Chang (And His Book Too)

Published Sat, 16 Sep 2017 08:00:55 -0500

Sam Humphries and Bernard Chang will take over Nightwing in December.

Tim Seeley may have believed he had gotten the better of Sam Humphries when it was announced he was taking over Green Lanterns from the writer, but it's Humphries that has gotten the last laugh. Humphries will take over Nightwing, ending Seeley's long run on the title, along with artist Bernard Chang.

The news was revealed in an interview on CBR, where Humphries rubbed it in by praising Seeley's work on the book.

"One of my favorite things from the run is, Tim understood that Nightwing is a great hero in his own right," said Humphries, clearly taunting his colleague. "He needs his own top shelf villains, supporting cast, and city environment."

"Bernard and I are keeping that tradition alive," Humphries continued. "We've got a new bad guy, we'll be developing his supporting cast (both friendly and unpleasant), and we'll be exploring the past and present of Blüdhaven. 'Nightwing The Untouchable' is gonna be filled with crazy ideas and big street-level action, all threatening to collapse on our star character, Dick Grayson."

But Seeley appeared unphased, tweeting of his Nightwing run:
