Nightwing: The Hunt For Oracle

[Dick Grayson]

Blockbuster, Blüdhaven’s deadliest crime boss, is on a rampage. A mysterious hacker has made Blockbuster’s life difficult for far too long. It’s time for Nightwing — with the help of the Birds of Prey — to hunt this person down and terminate this hacker’s actions once and for all, at whatever cost. And that hacker is Oracle!

The chase is on in NIGHTWING: THE HUNT FOR ORACLE — a 192-page trade paperback collecting NIGHTWING #41-46 and BIRDS OF PREY #20-21, written by Chuck Dixon (BATGIRL: YEAR ONE), with art by Greg Land (Sojourn, NIGHTWING), Patrick Zircher (NIGHTWING, Thunderbolts), Butch Guice (BIRDS OF PREY, Ruse), and Drew Geraci (NIGHTWING).

While Nightwing desperately tries to rein in the unstable vigilante Nite-Wing, his daytime counterpart Dick Grayson graduates to a street cop. Meanwhile, Blockbuster’s thirst for vengeance against Oracle has him sending some of the deadliest assassins after the hacker. When the crime boss captures Nightwing, will our hero be tortured into revealing Oracle’s location?

NIGHTWING: THE HUNT FOR ORACLE is a 192-page trade paperback, arriving in comic-book stores February 19 with a cover price of $14.95 U.S.

Those are great issues - I highly recommend getting the book (or the back issues) if you didn't read them the first time around :)

It's about time, they released another NIGHTWING TPB. The last one was the one with Superman.

[Ice Storm]

they should come out with some bop novels

[Frostbite]

They came out with Smallville novels, but Smallville suceeded. So...... I don't know.

It would be a great idea. DARK ANGEL was cancelled, yet, a Max Allan Collins Prequel novel was released. The way I always looked at it was, if there is a audience for it, it will sell and the traditional BIRDS comics are selling. It's just the novels of the TV series would be able to actually go deeper into the series then the series is going at the moment.

Wow! I was just posting this in another area on this site! It would be great to see Birds of Prey novelizations! I think they would do well, considering the fan-base. It's pretty strong, just not large enough to keep the WB happy. Although I'm not a Star Trek fan, I'm reminded of all those Trekkies out there who mourned the loss of the original show after one season and ran to the stores to buy the novels and the comics! Years after the Star Wars Trilogy was complete, when Lucas had not yet decided to make the prequels, novels were introduced and were a great success! One can only hope!

i have a couple smallville novels,flight and dragon and so far they both sucked

[Fat Elvis 007]

i would love a BOP prequal novel, it sure would explain a lot.

[Watchover]

I think they published 2 'Forever Knight' novels about a year after the series was ended on TV.

I miss that show....


Watchover, who lives in fear of the day the last worthwhile program is cancelled to make way for the reality based series "When Bad Television Shows Attack...."
