I've been wishing for a version of that cover without Tarantula in it for so long, I was so happy when I found this! They look so good in that cover.
This is the famous Nightwing #101 variant cover by Vasco Georgiev, which I think most people have seen. So I also posted the Al variant; I know Al art are not wanted, but this picture is an exception. I haven't found a cosplay or anything similar. The Al version looks like a movie scene-this is how a Nightwing series should be, with Babs, Dick, and Bitewing. What great chemistry they have! 🧡💙🩶

There are two pics I couldn't include... But I'll add them in the comments!
Here is a collection of serious articles about Taylor's run from knowledgeable comic fans. It has been around 2 years since he finished his run, and we are still debating it, showing how deep an impact it has had. On the internet, there are a lot of people who really, deeply love the run and praise it! Especially new readers.
But at the same time, there is a group who attacks it and spreads negativity. Mostly because they don't like the ship, even though it's Dixon's canon ship. Some don't like the brightness of the run, but that is also very important to show Nightwing's bright, Superman-like side (Nightwing is between Batman and Superman). Some don't like all the friends of Nightwing who were there, but that's the point of the run: to restore his relationships after the Ric arc destroyed them. Some want to fridge Batgirl, but that is misogynistic. And some don't like the slice-of-life story, but it is very important that comics also have some deep, emotional stories:

"Ballistic Romance" is a two-part comic book story arc. Seamlessly blending high-stakes action with deep romance, the story opens with a battered and exhausted Nightwing seeking protection and care in Oracle's Clocktower. As Barbara gently tends to his injuries, the romantic tension between the two finally boils over into a deeply intimate, personal connection. However, their tender moment unfolds against an escalating threat: a rogue faction of the GCPD, led by Pettit, begins attacking the Clocktower.

A masterpiece written by Chuck Dixon, "the Godfather", and illustrated by Scott McDaniel. McDaniel's original art style is very cartoonish, taking a little getting used to - but once you do, it becomes truly fascinating.

Going to the circus together is their thing
"Nightwing: A Knight in Blüdhaven Compendium Two" is a great DickBabs ship book. It features important milestones Dixon crafted, such as:
- "On Wings" from Birds of Prey #8, which contains the iconic circus and trapeze scenes, showing trust and the beautiful near-kiss.
- "Ballistic Romance" from Nightwing (vol. 2) #38, which contains Barbara and Richard's legendary first official kiss in adulthood.
- "A World of Hate" from Nightwing (vol. 2) #58, where the villain Shrike outmatches Nightwing, and Oracle comes to his aid.

Carlos D'Anda own words : ....... and some throw-back-Tuesday's 'cus most of the stuff I'm working on these days is under good ol' nda's!.... this is an oldish commish from around the time "the new 52" designs had come out, later I did a bit of digital color tweaking here and there for funsies, but it's mostly done the ol' fashioned way.
