This issue is a little complicated in it's time-line. It actually takes place shortly after Dick went out on his own and formed the Teen Titans. It was also shortly after he donned his new identity, Nightwing. But the villain they're fighting, Wrath, is back from when Dick was Robin. It was on one of his trips from home. Bruce kept him away longer than usual because the villain came after Alfred and beat him up pretty badly. They didn't want Dick to come home to see that. Anyways, now he appears to be back. But when Batman beat him, he went down in flames, off the side of a building. So how is it that he's still alive? They question his former lover, Grayle Hudson. She's the former princess of a crime family, and now works in the clinic with Leslie. The Wrath goes to her apartment to confront her, but it seems more likely that he's a friend or relative of the other guy. It was just something in his conversation. The way he addressed Grayle. But we won't learn what he is this issue. So far he's killed 2 cops. But it'll only be a matter of time before he comes after Bruce, or one of his many associates. He won't be able to protect them all. It was an interesting story by Tony Bedard. Rags Morales and Mark Farmer do the art. And it was fantastic. Rags is a very good artist and doesn't get nearly enough credit. Overall, I thought it was a good book. My only complaint, like I said, was the time-line. But, I'm sure I'll get over it.
