Nightwing (Benjamin Percy) Books in Order

Benjamin Percy's Nightwing run is short, but it has a clear hook. Dick Grayson is still doing what he does best, protecting Bludhaven with agility, nerve, and a very human kind of stubbornness. The problem is that the city around him is changing fast, and not for the better.

The main story in The Bleeding Edge drops Nightwing into a conflict over technology, gentrification, and control. A powerful technologist promises a brighter future for Bludhaven, a cleaner, smarter, more connected city where everything can be tracked and optimized. On paper it sounds like progress. Dick, being Dick, quickly sees the trap. The more polished the system looks, the easier it becomes to hide cruelty inside it.

This is a street-level story with a digital-age villain.

That tension gives the run its flavor. Percy keeps the action nimble, but he also uses Nightwing well as a character who believes in people even when institutions let them down. Dick is not Batman-lite here. He is warmer, more open, and more willing to move through the city like part of the community rather than above it. That makes the threat feel different too, because it is aimed at the social fabric of Bludhaven, not just one masked hero.

If you like Nightwing stories that mix acrobatics, detective work, and a little near-future unease, this run is an easy pickup. It reads fast, but it has a solid idea at the center and knows exactly what kind of hero Dick Grayson is.
