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[...]

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[...]

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[...]
