The killer whom Nightwing could never catch is back in Blüdhaven! A bold new creative team sends Nightwing on a mission to stop the first killer he ever let escape...as the body count climbs and the murders on his conscience push Dick Grayson to the brink! Back when he was first fighting crime by Batman’s side as Robin, Dick Grayson let a crime boss called the Judge slip through his fingers. Ever since, he’s been haunted by the trail of bodies left in the Judge’s wake...murders committed by seemingly ordinary people who were offered their fondest desires by the Judge. Now, just as Dick is starting anew in Blüdhaven, both as Nightwing and as the owner of a new business, the Judge has returned-and so have the murders. Can Nightwing solve the mystery of who the Judge really is and why he’s turning Blüdhaven into a city of killers? Or will the citizens take the deal when they’re offered their deepest wishes...in exchange for the death of Nightwing? Writer Sam Humphries (Green Lanterns) and Bernard Chang (Batman Beyond) plunge Nightwing into a centuries-spanning mystery...and a fight for his life! Collects Nightwing #35-43.
