Check out my review of Grayson volume 1.
I enjoyed the continuation of this series quite a bit. Is Dick Grayson, the former Boy Wonder, a great spy? No, but that isn't really the point. He has joined the ranks of Spyral, a spy organization that steals secrets and is currently collecting organs that give people superpowers, as Agent 37.
The Midnighter returns as a nemesis and ally for Grayson. They are seeking out some of the same people in their attempts to retrieve those super organs. Along the way, Grayson comes into contact with a group called The Fist of Cain, which may have found a way to force humanity to destroy itself.
The flashiness of Dick Grayson that has been established in previous DC books is still here. It works great because the creators are sticking to the character. There is a range of emotion applied to him throughout the book too. We get to see him at both high and low points. Since Dick has always been less serious than his mentor, Batman, the tense points become a bit more effective. Definitely pick up volume 1 if you have any interest in this series.
