GOING BACK TO GOTHAM He was the first Robin—and a replacement Batman. He was a superspy—and a dead man. Now, after going underground and around the world in a battle to reclaim the secret identity that was stolen from him, Dick Grayson is going back to Gotham as his own man, his own hero: Nightwing! But stepping back into his old life isn’t as easy as putting on his familiar black and blue costume. Not when his former boss, Batman, insists he should work solo. Not when he’s trying to rekindle a romance with Barbara Gordon, a.k.a. Batgirl, who’s got a life and crime-fighting career of her own. When a mysterious masked man called Raptor swoops in, claiming to be an ally but looking every bit the enemy, Nightwing must join forces with Raptor to take down Parliament of Owls, the all-powerful criminal conspiracy that’s left its nest in Gotham City and is spreading its wings around the world. To pull it all off, Nightwing must be more than equal to his mentor. He’s got to be better.

THE SUICIDE SQUAD IS DEAD- LONG LIVE THE SUICIDE SQUAD! Killed in action. That’s the official story on the Suicide Squad, the crack team of the world’s most dangerous super-villains assembled to do the jobs too dirty for the good guys to handle. Also known as Task Force X, they’ve been X’ed out, leaving their minder and master, Amanda Waller, behind to pick up the pieces. At least that’s what they want you to believe. Thanks to Harley Quinn’s secret contact on the outside, the Squad has faked their deaths, leaving Harley, Deadshot, Cheetah and Diablo free to live life on their own terms…or so it seems. But by escaping both Waller and the walls of Belle Reve Prison, they may have dug their own graves. They’ve fallen into the clutches of the Fist of Cain, the insane death cult that helped them play dead-and who are now trying to make their ruse a reality! To survive, the Suicide Squad must turn to their one-time captors-and Deadshot’s hated rival, Captain Boomerang-for help, or they’ll finally live up to their name… It’s the end of an era for the team behind the blockbuster movie, as creators Tim Seeley (GRAYSON, BATMAN ETERNAL) and Juan Ferreyra (GOTHAM BY MIDNIGHT) seal their fate in NEW SUICIDE SQUAD VOL. 4: KILL ANYTHING!

UNDERCOVER...AND IN OVER HIS HEAD. Dick Grayson-the former Robin turned Nightwing turned superspy Agent 37-is back to work at the covert global agency, Spyral. But one question continues to haunt him: Who is Agent Zero, and what does she want with him? Reluctantly aided by his partner, Tiger, Grayson uncovers Agent Zero’s origins within the secret lair of Spyral’s deceased founder, Doctor Dedalus. In doing so, he and Tiger also become ensnared in a malevolent ouroboros, a self-consuming circle of violence that endlessly connects Spyral to the criminal organization known as Leviathan. Grayson’s path soon becomes clear: he must take down Spyral and its director, Helena Bertinelli. Unfortunately his former partner, like the hell-bent huntress she is, has deployed a syndicate of the world’s best spies to neutralize the rogue Agent 37. If Grayson and Tiger are to survive, they’ll need to align themselves with a group as formidable as Spyral-and quite possibly deadlier.

When Waller discovers that Task Force X is being manipulated by a shadowy corporate conspiracy, she decides to take her team off the grid. Now, without their bombs to keep them in check, the only thing keeping the world’s worst heroes from becoming full-blown villains again is their desire to see justice served.
