Issue Description

A shipment of game consoles and computers was hijacked. Nightwing (Jason) took one of the men at gunpoint. He blew his head off and threw a knife into the throat of another. Nightwing (Dick) appeared and began battling it out with the impostor.

The Pierce brothers watched security camera footage with one of the survivors.

Dick (in costume) visited with Clancy as the Pierce brothers spoke with their "expert." Dick told Clancy about Jason and that he was supposed to be dead - twice. Both believed Jason idolized Dick to an unhealthy extent. Jakob, the Pierce hire, believed the "real" Nightwing had a relationship with the other, and that he was purposely holding back. He was hired to catch the fake in order to trap the real one.

The morning papers ran a cover story on the twin vigilantes. Cheyenne changed gears on her afternoon show - superheroes would be the theme. Dick was asked to model her Nightwing costume. He reluctantly agreed, but flipped out when he was cheered on by Jason Todd during the show. He leapt off the runway at Cheyenne's date. The audience loved it, thinking it was part of the show. Jason threatened Dick's friends were he to take him in.

After Dick quit, Cheyenne went looking for him. Using her powers, she broke into his apartment and found Nightwing leaving through his window. While she watched, Jason called and left a message on his machine describing a crime scene.

Jakob stood above Todd while the real Nightwing went after the robbers. Cheyenne intervened and almost got one of the men killed. She left telling him he could trust her. Dick watched as Jakob (a mind reader) morphed into a monster and attacked Jason.

Promo

Following his solo starring roles in Nightwing: Alfred's Return and the September Nightwing 1995 mini-series launched after Grayson's turn under the Batman cowl in Batman: Prodigal, Dick Grayson was rewarded for years of heroic service with his own ongoing series, written by Chuck Dixon and with art by Scott McDaniel, coming off the success of Dixon's Robin (1993) series.

Setting up camp in Bludhaven, a city close to his Gotham City home and twice as corrupt, Nightwing quickly acquired quite a rogues gallery. From underworld boss Blockbuster to the acrobatic Lady Vic to the twisted former cop Torque, Nightwing battled his way to respect in his new town, and the fans took notice.

A hit from the start, Nightwing lasted 153 regular issues, a #1000000 issue, 2 annuals and a special #0.5 issue from Wizard magazine.

As the series came to an end in 2009 with the Death of Bruce Wayne story line running throughout the Bat-family titles, Dick Grayson went on to star as Batman in Batman, Detective Comics, Batman & Robin among others.
