Ok we got a new creative team. Marv Wolfman, Dan Jurgens and Norm Rapmund seem to off to a quick start. I have to admit, this issue seems a lot more upbeat than say any of the last twelve in this series. I'm not saying I don't like the series, but the morose and self wallowing can only stretch on and on and on and on for so long. Everybody has a good day. Or at least a day where they're happy to be alive. That's how I feel that Dick feels this issue. He's chasing after a bad guy, or so he thinks so far, called the Raptor. And although he seems to be getting the bad end of the stick, and doesn't really seem to have a chance of stopping him on his own, he feels alive. When he does start to feel down, he runs into two hotties from his building, Ryan Diaz and Zen. Ryan is a masseuse and after straightening his spine, makes him feel warm all over. We also get to see Dick trying to go through the mundane task of trying to find a job. Soon we get a look at Raptor, under his armor, and he appears to be as much a victim as his supposed victims were. Finally we end with Dick taking a long hot shower. He's supposed to go over to the girls apartment for a party, but instead rests his eyes and promptly passes out from exhaustion. The girls are knocking at his door, later, trying to get his attention. And while he sleeps, someone is lurking in the shadows of his room, "Dick Grayson. . . you were supposed to die in the crisis, but somehow you survived. That will have to be corrected." Kind of an ominous ending, but with Marv and Dan on board I think we'll get some fun back into this series also. This picture is actually a different cover than what is on #125. I can't explain it, but enjoy.
