In March, writer Eric Esquivel was set to co-write Nightwing with Scott Lobdell, with eventual plans for Esquivel to take over the title. That wasn't to be due to obvious reasons. But it looks like DC has found a replacement, as a leaked-on-4chan solicit for April's Nightwing #59 lists a new writer, Dan Jurgens, alongside current artist Chris Mooneyham on Nightwing #59. Will Jurgens be taking over as a permanent replacement? And will he undo that stupid "Ric Grayson" name change?

You can read the full solicit below, which, sadly, is still calling him "Ric." It does seem like "Ric" might be rethinking his recent attitude change, however.
