Issue 01 - Nightwing: Leaping Into the Light

  • Summary

  • It's the debut issue of Comic Reactions!

    Dick Grayson has a history almost as rich as Batman's. Since his debut in Detective Comics #38 we have watched Dick grow from sad orphan into the heart of the DC Universe. 

    As Nightwing, Dick has seen an increased story focus across the DCU, and in reading Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo's run on the character, it's easy to see why.

    In this first episode we run through the debut story arc from the duo, Leaping Into The Light, originally published in Nightwing (Vol. 2), #78-83.

    Learn more about how Dick is four dimensional, how he outranks Batman in the Golden Age, and what makes this comics run feel like an instant classic.

    ***SPOILERS ABOUND IN THIS EPISODE***

    We also take a look at one of Robin's weirdest adventures from the Golden Age in our Backup Strip.
