Wolfman to Write Nightwing

As DC Executive Editor Dan Didio revealed at Charlotte�s Heroes Con, a change is in the air for Nightwing.

Beginning with issue October�s #125, Marv Wolfman and Dan Jurgens step in for an (at least) four issue arc. The low cheering you hear are the longtime Nightwing fans, ecstatic that the Wolfman � the character�s co-creator (along with George Perez in 1984) is coming back to the one of the only heroes to have an �on-screen� promotion � that is, Dick Grayson gave up his Robin identity to become Nightwing, graduating, in a sense, and coming out from under Batman�s wing.

According to Wolfman, the reason he�s coming back is a simple one � �I was asked to do it,� the writer said. �They only asked for a four part story but I obviously would hope it could continue. I love the character.�

This could be interesting. Older generation writer meets new age DCU.

I hope they stick around. Nightwing needs some stability post-Infinite Crisis.

Even if he's not up to his old standards, it'll still be the best Nightwing since Dixon left.

I'm really looking forward to his Raven mini too.

I don't care who it is, just get Bruce Jones the hell away from it.

I may actually start reading this title if Wolfman takes over.

Yup, I agree. It's annoying when a writer comes on and leaves a few issues later.

would it be too soon for him to retcon this horrible OYL mess?

Nightwing was the only DC mainstream title I was currently buying with my limited budget, and the crap they pulled with OYL made me drop it cause it was so bleh

It's even more annoying when they make the character into a male model...

I love Wolfman and wouldnt be upset at all if he stuck around, but no.

Let him do his few issues then let Marc Andreyko take over for the foreseeable future. Get that cat who did Batman Annual 25, Shane Davis, to do art and that'd be awesome!
