In Case You Missed It: NIGHTWING #20

Fri, 05/17/2013 - 9:00am | Pamela Mullin

As most of you know, in the pages of NIGHTWING #19, Dick Grayson (a.k.a. Nightwing) has recently moved to Chicago. In the latest issue, NIGHTWING #20, written by Kyle Higgins and illustrated by Brett Booth and Norm Rapmund, on shelves now, Nightwing returns to the apartment he’s subletting in the Windy City for some well earned rest following his explosive encounter with the Chicago Police Department.

If you look very closely at the posters adorning Dick’s new room and his friend’s t-shirt you can see a visual nod to PUNK ROCK JESUS, the celebrated Vertigo mini-series written and illustrated by Sean Murphy! Check out the pages in the gallery above.

PUNK ROCK JESUS tells the story of the ultimate reality show stunt: Chris, a clone of Jesus Christ, becomes an overnight sensation as the star of a reality television show watched by billions of faithful viewers around the globe. A thought provoking story that lies at the crossroads of celebrity, science and faith, it’s a game changer you won't want to miss.

Both NIGHTWING #20 and PUNK ROCK JESUS are available in stores now.

Mon, 04/16/2012 - 9:00am | Alex Nagorski

For this week’s installment of Preview Mondays, we’re giving you exclusive first looks at NIGHTWING #8, DOMINIQUE LAVEAU: VOODOO CHILD #2 and MAD #515.

The “Night of the Owls” has begun! Following the shocking revelation (SPOILER ALERT!) that Dick Grayson was originally intended to be a Talon, Nightwing must work to save both his name and Mayor Hady from The Court of Owls’ assassin targeting him. But when Grayson arrives to City Hall only to find innocent blood has already been shed, will he have failed his mission before it’s even truly begun? And how does turn-of-the-century era Gotham factor into all of this? Find out in NIGHTWING #8, written by Kyle Higgins and illustrated by Eddy Barrows, Ruy Jose and Eber Ferreira. Click here to see an exclusive preview of the issue.

Last month marked the launch of DOMINIQUE LAVEAU: VOODOO CHILD. In the series’ premiere issue, you were introduced to Dominique Laveau, a New Orleans college student who is believed to have ties to the murder of the Voodoo Queen by the royal court. In the series’ second issue, learn more about the origins of Dominique’s family and why she’s become a target of these supernatural forces. Click here to see an exclusive preview of DOMINIQUE LAVEAU: VOODOO CHILD #2, written by Selwyn Seyfu Hinds and illustrated by Denys Cowan and John Floyd.

For over fifty years, “Spy vs. Spy” has appeared in the pages of MAD Magazine. This dastardly pair (one dressed in black and one dressed in white) has continued to one-up the other, til death do they part. In MAD #515, writer/artist Peter Kuper continues this longstanding and classic tradition with his new strip depicting this diabolical duo of double-cross and deceit. Click here to see the latest installment of “Spy vs. Spy” and be sure to pick up a copy of MAD #515 when it hits newsstands on April 24th.
