Nightwing #138 Preview

 

When Nightwing ventured into the Cirque Du Sin, the Zanni forced him to play a game to rescue the abducted children. But his game had consequences for the outside world. When Nightwing returned to his city, he found buildings lying in ruins thanks to the Zanni's otherworldly contest. 

Now, his sister is gone, and Bernard Bisogni has taken over the Mayor's office. Like Nero's plan to rebuild Rome, Biscogni's determination unleashes chaos. Traffic jams proliferate. While the well-to-do relocate, poorer residents linger in the construction zones. And when the workers find skeletons amid the broken foundations, spirits arise to haunt the living. Can Dick Grayson sleep without suffering from constant nightmares amid these occult manifestations? And can he protect the city he loves amid rising outrage over his actions?

When a trail of violent incidents seems to connect this creature to the city’s new super-highway, Nightwing resolves to get to the bottom of it. What he uncovers will bring one of his Titans teammates to Blüdhaven, looking for some long-overdue closure…
