DC Comics
Tom DeFalco, guest writer
Andres Guinaldo, guest artist
The regular creative team on Nightwing apparently decided to take a break before diving head first into the "Death of the Family" Bat-crossover, so we get this little diversion pitting Nightwing against the DCnU version of Lady Shiva. She's still a master assassin, Kiddie Cops, so don't worry about that. And despite their guest creator status, both DeFalco and Guinaldo do a nice job with this fill-in.
The Joker hasn't been forgotten; Nightwing makes mention of him several times in the issue, first letting readers know that he remembers Batman's alert about the Joker from Batman No. 13 and later wondering if Lady Shiva's activities have anything to do with the Joker's machinations. She IS an assassin for hire, so that could be, but DeFalco doesn't leave us wondering, giving full details by the end for the motivations behind Shiva's return to Gotham. And even Joker makes a small appearance in the issue, so all in all, not a bad effort, guys!
