Janin is one of my favorite artists. His work is f'n awesome

Dick Grayson "James Bond 007" is fantastic. Love it

It's one of the best books on the shelves.

Despite the controversies. I have liked more Grayson the Secret Agent than a Superhero, at least in the New 52.

I dropped the book awhile ago, it just wasn't grabbing me. Maybe I'll give it one more chance.

This book is dope.

I don't read this series but I'm just curious: is Helena still the Huntress in any way? Like, was she Huntress before joining Spyral? Or is it at least her spy codename or something?

This goblin still fails to understand why DC made him into an agent. If anything they should have made Tim Drake an agent over Grayson.

I guess DC just wanted to copy MARVEL again.

All either of them do offs just copy each other.

Muahahahajajajaja

In the New 52, Helena has NEVER been the Huntress.

As far as I know, Helena Bertinelli was the daughter of a Sicilian mob family who faked her death as a teen.

When Helena Wayne, the daughter of Earth 2's Batman and Catwoman, was trapped on the main Earth,she adopted Helena Bertinelli's name and became The Huntress ... so technically Earth 2 Helena Wayne has ever been the only Huntress ... (so far!!!)

My favorite DC title.

I was originally, like most, sceptical about this but from the odd couple I've picked up over the months it's a rather good read. The art alone is enough to sell the book

@lagozzino: No since the New 52 anytime you've seen the Huntress it was Helena Wayne from Earth-2 either trapped on Earth-0 using "Helena Bertineli" as an alias (which she is able to do because that Helena is supposed to be dead as far as the world at large knows) or back on Earth-2 fighting Apokolips. She still uses a small crossbow though, and her mission gear has a white cross on it like her Huntress uniform so at least theres something.

@goblinalghoul: Regardless of why they chose to do this if you put this book up against the previous Nightwing book(which I enjoy) Grayson is probably the best thing DC could have done for Dick. History has proven that the further Dick is from the rest of the Bat-Family the more interesting and compelling his character becomes and this book proves that in only 9 issues(counting the annual).

I just picked this up and got a sweet Grayson ID card as a bonus! Always nice to get little bonuses that you didn't know anything about. Also got a Daily Planet for Superman and a Batgirl mask for Batgirl. This week rocked.
