Nightwing #5 – Variant – Vol. 4 – 2016 

Nightwing #5 – Vol. 4 – 2016 (Variant Edition) delivers a sharp narrative shift as Dick Grayson returns to Blüdhaven, but not in the way longtime fans might expect. Written by Tim Seeley, with atmospheric art by Javier Fernandez, this chapter marks the conclusion of the “Better Than Batman” arc, culminating in a dramatic confrontation between Nightwing and the enigmatic anti-hero Raptor.

The variant cover showcases Nightwing in an intense, stylised pose that reflects the emotional weight and action-driven pulse of the issue. For collectors of striking alternate covers or followers of DC's Rebirth, this edition adds unique visual flair to any comic collection.

Inside, Nightwing is tested both physically and emotionally. Raptor's true motives are revealed in full, along with painful ties to Dick's past at Haly’s Circus, creating a morally charged climax. Tim Seeley doesn’t shy away from introspection and vulnerability, expertly balancing inner turmoil with fast-paced combat and sharp dialogue. As secrets unravel, Nightwing must choose between vengeance and the hero he aspires to be.

Javier Fernandez's artwork captures both the fluidity of Grayson's acrobatics and the gritty undertones of the plot, matched by sombre colouring that sets the perfect tone for the fallout of this arc.

Ideal for fans of character evolution, gritty revelations, and high-stakes storytelling, Nightwing #5 cements the Rebirth era's commitment to redefining legacy heroes with depth and nuance.
