From a very early age, I was fascinated with the Robin character in the Batman universe. Not just with the comics, but with the '66 television series, the animated series, and continuing on into Teen Titans and Nightwing. He eventually would break away from Batman to be his own hero. He recognized that he would forever be in Bruce's shadow so he left Gotham and became a vision of hope for a new city that needed a savior.

Flash forward to the New 52 and I was enthralled in Kyle Higgins' vision of Nightwing. When you read the text you could really feel that this man loved the character. I was bummed when his run came to an end and it seemed DC was again deciding to kill off Dick Grayson. But then a new book was announced, titled simply 'Grayson.' The story was by Tom King and Tim Seeley and the new artist would be Mikel Janin. I read the first issue this week...and a calming sense of relief filled me as I know Dick Grayson was is in good, capable hands.
