First off, we have a beautiful Ethan Van Sciver cover. Then we have Marv Wolfman, back to chronicling Nightwings adventures. Well I don't think he ever did it directly, as with this title. But, between the Titans and the Batman titles, he's had his finger on Dick's pulse for a long time. We're dealing with a flashback type of story this issue. Dick has found himself at a physical disadvantage. He's been beaten physically and emotionally, and now finds himself at the bottom of an empty grave. Which wouldn't necessarily be bad if there wasn't someone on top trying to fill it in. Somehow, it's all connected to Jace Lorens. He was a scientist who worked for LexCorp and was dying of radiation poisoning. So he stole the Raptor armor and was trying to find some scientists that could help him with his condition. The problem is that everyone that was associated with the Raptor armor, has been killed or disappeared. Which now, put a target on Lorens back. Jace was killed and when Dick came to his grave to look for some answers, he found it to be empty. But someone was there. Someone who took advantage of his already sore disposition and hurt him badly enough to knock him into the grave and then cover him up. Oh, and he didn't call him Nightwing, he called him Grayson. So now, as Dick is trapped and trying to dig his way out, he's mentally forgetting about his predicament by try to figure out how all the pieces of the puzzle fit together. He succeeds in escaping, but he's not any closer to figuring out what's going on. And on the last page we see Lorens body on a prep table surrounded by what looks like doctors or scientists. It's nice having you back Marv. I hope you keep the ride bumpy.
