Talla appears to be more resolute and no-nonsense than her predecessor–thankfully Seth MacFarlane knows better than to just give her Alara's traits. Things started cordial enough with the Regorians until Grayson (Adrianne Palicki) reveals her and Bortus' (Peter Macon) birthday is nearing In response, the Prefect (John Rubinstein) declares them "Gilliacs" and imprisons them, banishing the rest[...]

In October 2017, DC Comics collects the Grayson run from Tom King, Tim Seeley and Mikel Janin that gave us scenes like this. And this. And this. The Grayson: The Superspy Omnibus is out on 24th October for $99.99 With Dick Grayson, exposed as Nightwing, believed dead, and operating as Agent 37 for Spyral, planted by Batman. This oversize omnibus collects[...]

Last week we told you how an upcoming issue of Daredevil had completely changed from its solicitation. Well Grayson #19 by Jackson Lanning and Collin Kelly was solicited for this month drawn by Carmine Di Guandomenico It's the ultimate spy showdown! Civil war has broken out at Spyral, with Dick Grayson stuck in the middle[...]

But today's issue of Grayson goes out and out to make itself as much like James Bond than ever before. And not the James Bond of the novels, currently being recreated so expertly by Warren Ellis and Jason Masters But the James Bond of the movies, specifically the Connery and Moore days Including the ski chase from[...]

These two pages of the upcoming Grayson #13 previewed by ComicVine have caused considerable commentary by the commentariat Some of which has seen writer Tim Seeley responds on Twitter. The sexual objectification of Dick Grayson has been a central running gag of this series (and others) but it may have reached an apogee this week. In which[...]

Clark Kent and Grayson there, in today's Grayson annual Looking at the changes to the big superheroes of the day, emphasising the power of the brand, over who may be embodying the brand at the moment… Over in Superman #44 we even see Superman getting fired from the Daily Planet, and for his erstwhile employer to[...]

Wonderful.  While in Grayson we get a proper reunion of Dick and Barbara where little needs to be said, it has all been said before This device, used throughout the issue sees Dick reuniting with the rest of the Robins and Batfolk, their common history overwhelmingly present in the initial meet Like We Are Robin and[...]

Today's Grayson is an example of the success of innovation and experimentation at DC Comics – Batgirling if you will – with the comic taking a narrative approach you might be more likely to expect in Promethea, Cerebus or Sandman. But this is Grayson so there are other concerns upon meeting a duplicated version of himself[...]

Grayson is definitely one of the Batgirled titles at DC Comics, a creative vision transforming a character for a specific demographic, with style, elegance and panache. And also very entertainingly pandering scenes Such as this one. And these ones. Or this one. Absolutely exquisite Well the shameless pandering gets turned up a notch in today's Grayson, from Tim Seeley,[...]

Mark Bristow writes, Since Forever Evil, Tom King, Tim Seeley, and artist Mikel Janin have been paving the way for Dick Grayson's new status quo as a secret agent for clandestine organization Spyral This week, we saw the end of the first chapter as main line DC takes a break for the Convergence event With Grayson[...]

  From tomorrow's Grayson #8, previewed on DC's media partner Crave Online…  They really know their audience, don't they? So which are you, Team Jim or Team Juan? Say I wonder if "gay" Dick Grayson will get Catwoman headlines? Though I like the fact that the character is "in the closet" regarding his heterosexuality at the school… [...]

Last year was the year that DC Comics finally decided to embrace the dick jokes that everyone else had been making for decades regarding Dick Grayson Like these. There was a time during the launch of the New 52, that DC Comics encouraged writers to use the guy's full name.   But now? With the launch of Grayson,[...]

By Shawn Perry 'Sup Bleeders, It has been too long since I waxed eloquent about my favorite superhero sans-super-powers so I am going to get right to the point: Grayson #7 by Tim Seeley and Tom King was the most effortlessly brilliant issue of the run Once again Mikel Janin and Jeremy Cox prove capable of creating[...]

Bruce Wayne and Jason Todd's Robin having a chat. And from today's Grayson #7… …clearly he got the "talk" as well, Comics courtesy of Orbital Comics, London, with a Liz Prince signing this Saturday… And a Kieron Gillen signing the next! Yes, folks, that is how Kieron will be spending Valentine's Day…   [...]

A few changes 'txist solicitations and publications, from Marvel and DC Comics… Grayson #7 is solicited with art from Mikel Janin, but instead will be by Stephen Mooney. Patrick Zircher is no longer the artist on New 52: Futures End #39, instead it will be Stephen Thompson. Secret Origins #9 has seen the solicited Javi Pina replaced by Alessandro Vitto.   Earth[...]

Dick Grayson buttshots have been a bit of a running joke There are Tumblrs such as F— Yeah Dick Grayson's Ass and Nightwings Ass Appreciation, with memes like these running around the place. When writing the Nightwing/Oracle comic for Convergence, Gail Simone said, I am writing it, of course there's Nightwing ass! That's a funny[...]

Today is a very special episode of Grayson, in which our hero walks across a desolate expanse in extreme weather conditions, clutching a small baby, trying to keep them both alive.   No, wait, sorry, that's from Angela: Asgard's Assassin #1, also out today But back to Grayson #5. I know that dream… Clicky for biggy, No, I[...]

From Grayson, I believe this is known as the female gaze Who needs a face to look at when you have a bod to lust over? Anyway, it's always good to go from one extreme… …to the other, courtesy of Robocop #5 Nice stencil detail. Brian Bendis pops up in Nailbiter, though as you can see, his[...]

For decades, DC Comics have done their best to watch out for any double meaning for the use of Robin/Nightwing's name, Dick Grayson There have been a couple of flubs along the way – the DC message board once censoring any use of his first name, for example But the comics have done their best[...]

Shawn Perry writes, This past week Grayson: Futures End by Tim Seeley and Tom King was published and it exceeded all my expectations It's a unique one-shot where each page goes further back in time… Holy Crap. Grayson: Futures End was awesome! The story begins with a jarring flash-forward to five years from now that I will not[...]

And not one willing to use his superbreath to bring rain, or whatnot. Aquaman went to war with Earth 2 in Aquaman: Futures End, though at odds with his isolationist Atlantenas, things didn't go well… Batman has also been in the wars, from Detective Comics: Futures End #1,   Is he man or is he cyborg now? As to[...]

Grayson is the new DC comic, relaunching Nightwing as an international spy working for Spyder, as well as Batman It is a $2.99 comic book in comic stores and the readers are grateful for that. But on the newsstand as these photos demonstrate, it is instead a $3.99 comic. This appears to be the same trick Marvel[...]

By Shawn Perry [*Mild spoilers for Grayson #2 below!] The second issue of Grayson by Tim Seeley and Tom King follows the pattern of the modern Hollywood sequel in that it takes what was established in the first issue and builds on it My only complaint is that it refines without advancing and while that is not[...]

Today's Grayson goes to England. Now I live in England, and am rather sensitive to the way she appears in American comic books So let's take a fine toothcomb to check it out.   Finishing schools, the reserve of the upper class, and the nouveau riche, not particularly representative of any England I know, though St Hadrian's does[...]

I loved it, but it sure pissed Jesus off. DC's Grayson #2 was even better than the first I'm won over to this new status quo for the time being and look forward to more guest stars and cameos. Aaron Haaland of A Comic Shop in Orlando, Florida, writes: Hey Fandom! This week is rocking those Guardians[...]

By Shawn Perry Earlier this week, Grayson #1 hit the stands and I am happy to report it was a promising and highly entertaining debut for the new series by Tim Seeley and Tom King Whether you're for or against Nightwing taking off the mask and playing spy, this series looks primed to take one of[...]

So who knows Batman's identity in the New 52? The Batfamily know, Tim Drake worked it out, Superman knows – and so Wonder Woman probably knows too. But recently we saw that Lex Luther had worked it out too. And in the new issue of Grayson? With a last page spoiler, another one to add to the[...]
