Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I don't understand those covers.

The covers are more comprehensible than the plot. Or characterization.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Is Nightwing out to kill the Statue of Liberty or something? I don't understand those covers.

Dick's in New York working as a model, where he is being Single White Femaled by Jason, who has a shiny, curvy knife and likes to use it on bad guys.

Also, Dick can't turn left, and just lost the VH-1 model award to Jason.

I'll be very sad if this arc doesn't wind up with them opening a Center For SuperKids Who Want To Learn To Read Good and Do Other Stuff Good Too.

PS, the second part of my summary is a lie, but it's really what should have happened.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

This is the Jason who magically came back from the dead, right?

I kind of get the SWF idea with the whole Robin thing, but...a model?

Yep. Superboy Prime punched him back to life.

Well, he *is* really, really ridiculously good-looking.

Not the way he's being drawn right now, he's not....

Didn't you read the ICSF&O?

Okay. True.

The Infinite Crisis of San Francisco and Oakland ? No, I haven't read anything new in close to a year now.

Thank you all for making my decision to drop DC in toto a relatively painless one. Sounds as if I jumped ship just in time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Nightwing's been startlingly bad.

52, on the other hand, is much more fun than I was expecting.
