Dick Grayson evolves into something else in new "Grayson" comic series

Consider this a post-FOREVER EVIL spoiler of comic book universe altering proportions... So if you haven't been up to date with the latest happenings in DC Comics' New 52 universe, you have been properly warned.

That being said, the cat has been let out of the bag courtesy of USA Today... BIG CHANGES are happening for Richard "Dick" Grayson, and he's getting the "Secret Agent" treatment in the upcoming "Grayson" comic book series, to be done by the creative team of Tim Seeley of Revival fame and former CIA operative Tom King.

Better known by his persona as "Nightwing", Dick Grayson was the very first Robin and sidekick to Batman, before stepping out of his mentor's shadow and becoming his own man. However, he still maintained ties with the Bat-Family, and even took over as The Dark Knight for a time following Bruce Wayne's supposed death. Now it seems that Dick has to adopt a new role following the result of his identity being exposed in Forever Evil by the Crime Syndicate... And whatever happens as a result of the end of that main event storyline by DC Comics. Only time will tell for certain what follows afterwards. For more on the story, visit the source post at USA Today.

"Nightwing" ends with issue #30 when it hits on May 28, with "Grayson" to follow soon afterwards.

DC Comics: Superman: Unchained and Nightwing for The New 52 ends this April

What started out as a new a prospect title during Superman's 75th Anniversary last year will finally bite the bullet and call it quits, as DC Comics' official solicitations for April 2014 have pretty much confirmed that the Scott Snyder and Jim Lee series will be drawing to a close...

But the other big news is that Nightwing is actually ending. Following the news of mainstay series writer Kyle Higgins' departure, the comic that stars Dick Grayson will apparently see its end and be written by James Tynion IV... And is it because of whatever turns out in the aftermath of Forever Evil? We'll only have to wait and see how things turn out once everything is said and done.

DC Comics: Sinestro gets his own New 52 ongoing this April

Those who've been steadily following Green Lantern and its comics during and after the Geoff Johns era may want to pay attention to the latest news from DC Comics, as a prominent face from the mythos is getting his own very own ongoing series come April, just around the time the big DC Comics New 52 event "Forever Evil" ends.

That's right... THAAL SINESTRO is coming back in his own ongoing comic book series, appropriately titled "Sinestro" and beginning this coming April. Written by Cullen Bunn and illustrated by Dale Eaglesham, the new book sees the former Green Lantern and Yellow Lantern in a hard and desperate setting, possibly reinforced by whatever happens in the conclusion of Forever Evil. After Geoff Johns run saw him lose everything he holds dear, Sinestro's only left with the one thing that's driven him since he began his mission: Fear. Joining him in the book will be his one time ally/ enemy Lyssa Drak, and one has to wonder where everything leads to in the entire setting of the Emotional Spectrum and DC Universe. For more information, visit the source post at Newsarama and DC's official Green Lantern Facebook page.

SINESTRO begins on April this year!

DC Comics releases Forever Evil: Arkham War #3 sneak peek showing off "Bat-Bane"

Looks like big changes are coming to Gotham City come next month when DC Comics releases their next chapter to their Forever Evil tie-in series centered around Bane and the Arkham villains with Forever Evil: Arkham War #3 hits shops on December 11.

The official DC Comics website has released a teaser image for the latest issue, written by Peter J. Tomasi and artwork by Scott Eaton and Jaime Mendoza, showing off what pretty much looks like Bane taking things to the next level in his mission to be Gotham's newest protector... By BECOMING THE BATMAN... AKA BAT-BANE.

In short, the man who broke Batman will carve out his own Dark Knight legacy, contrasting his own war with the Arkham inmates and criminals who seek to take Gotham by their own whims. Where is Batman in all of this? "Out of the picture" and too busy because of the events of Forever Evil.

We'll just have to wait and see how it plays out. For more information, visit the source post at DC Comics.com.

Fans of Batman are in for an early Thanksgiving treat, as a new teaser image for next spring's new Bat-book "Batman: Eternal"shows the entire gang and then some enjoying a Happy Thanksgiving lunch, with the heroes, allies, villains, usual suspects... And even some surprises in store.

The tease from DC Comics drops courtesy of Newsarama, and there be some lively faces on the artwork courtesy of Batman/ Detective Comics artist Jason Fabok. If you look closely besides Batman, Batwoman, Batwing, Batgirl, Commissioner Gordon, Catwoman, Professor Pyg, and other familiar characters from the Batman universe, there are some new faces who haven't appeared in The New 52 that have been intentionally teased and obscured, particularly one character beside Batman and Red Robin that's wearing a pink jacket. Could it probably be... Stephanie Brown?! That's certainly what's being teased here, and longtime fans of the character have waited for that chance to occur, and it may just happen soon when Batman: Eternal comes out. Missing ominously is Nightwing, who's fate in the current main DC crossover series "Forever Evil" looks grim with each passing issue. We'll find out soon enough what the status of the DC New 52 Universe will be come March when the series concludes... And then an eventual time skip of "5 years later" will occur as well.
