Writer Zack Kaplan, of Eclipse and Port of Earth is to be the new co-writer of DC Comics' Nightwing series, replacing Eric M Esquivel as co-writer/scripter on the comic book, working with Happy Death Day writer Scott Lobdell.

The comic is out next week, man they kept that one tight, didn't they?

Eric M Esquivel was dropped by DC from Nightwing, and the book he was writing Border Town, was cancelled after allegations of sexual harassment were made online.

NIGHTWING #57

(W) Scott Lobdell, Zack Kaplan (A) Travis Moore (CA) Chris Mooneyham

Destiny…fate…predetermined inevitability… these are all things that Ric Grayson has struggled to reconcile now that he has been given a second chance at life. A life recently unburdened with years of trauma, defeat and struggle when the hero known as Nightwing was shot in the head. Now, Ric must come to terms with who he is, and what kind of hero he wants to be…if he wants to be one at all. And while Ric is content to walk away from the mantle, one woman has been hiding in the shadows, waiting to solidify an identity of her own…an identity tied for all eternity to the clown price of crime…enter The Joker's Daughter!

The answer is both.
