It’s a day in the life – well, more like several weeks – as Dick Grayson and Shawn Tsang (formerly known as the wanna-be villain Defacer) begin a perilous relationship. Perilous not just because growing old together is unlikely in most relationships. He’s FREAKIN’ NIGHTWING, ferchrisesake! Imagine having Batman for your father-in-law. Whaddaya get him when Chrsitmas rolls around?

But still, these two crazy kids are gonna make a go of it, despite all the “help” of the Bat family, one-time Teen Titans, and the Run-Offs. We watch them go through all the dance steps of a new routine: first date, first kiss, first sleep-over, meeting the parents, first fight, and it makes me glad I’m married (14 years this month; yay me).

Minkyu Jung joins us for this issue, and the artist meets the usual comic book criteria for piloting figures through all the running and jumping and fighting and humping* but also scoring on all the emotion and facial expressions.

The cover touts the story as an epilogue to the Bludhaven story arc, but it dovetails directly into new territory, laying the groundwork for the next few issues. So in a way, it also serves as prologue to – well, we’ll just have to wait and see, I guess.
