Nightwing: The Joker War by Dan Jurgens

Dan Jurgens, the writer and artist best known for his work on “The Death of Superman,” takes us through the changed course of Dick “Ric” Grayson’s career. Gone are the memories and alliances that once defined him, replaced by a near blank-slate persona.

Nightwing Vol. 2 takes us inside those early moments of Ric’s new life, his strained reunion with a stranger named Bruce Wayne, and an entire life turned upside down. But amid the chaos lies opportunity…not for Ric, but for an old foe who’s been waiting a lifetime for a moment like this. Echoes of the past return in this collection as Ric Grayson gets closer to the truth about what happened to him. Have the members of the Court of Owls taken advantage of his injured state from the beginning? And what does that mean for the life he thought he lost?
