5. Nightwing

Nightwing is maybe one of my all-time favorite Bat-family characters. And Grayson, in which Dick Grayson is a SPYRAL spy, is one of the best recent Dick Grayson stories.

So when I heard that the story would continue in a new Nightwing series, I was truly pumped. And the resulting book is a ton of fun. The first arc, the perhaps correctly titled Better Than Batman, sees Dick striking out to blend Grayson's spy work with some more superheroic elements.

Raptor is a great villain, and his theatrical attitude makes him a good match for the former Boy Wonder. And what results is a globetrotting adventure that kicks off the book with a bang. After that, the book takes itself to Blüdhaven (I'm never sure how to pronounce it, either) and brings in a whole new cast of characters. Later arcs bring in some recent characters, like Dr. Hurt, to much acclaim.

Full disclosure: I'm a bit behind on this one, but now that Seeley's wrapping up his run, I can't wait to catch up.
