Dick Grayson leads a terrifying new regime against superheroes in Nightwing: The New Order, a brand-new miniseries coming from DC this August. From The New York Times best-selling Batman: Gates of Gotham team, writer Kyle Higgins and artist Trevor McCarthy introduce an authoritarian future in an alternate universe in which superpowers have been eliminated and outlawed. The man responsible? None other than Grayson, the former vigilante Nightwing. But what happens when the system he has created targets his family as the next threat?

Now leader of a government task force called the Crusaders, Grayson’s priorities are to hunt the remaining Supers and repress anyone who works outside the law. But when events transpire that turn the Crusaders’ aim toward Grayson’s own family, he must turn against the very system he created, with aid from the very people he’s been hunting for years—the last metahumans of the DC Universe.

The riveting new miniseries will run monthly for six issues. Nightwing: The New Order #1 hits shelves August 23.
