About the Author
Brian works as the Senior Adult Services Librarian at the Iowa City Public Library.
Grayson by Tom King and Tim Seeley was easily the best thing to come out of DC Comic's The New 52 publishing initiative. It follows the former Robin, Dick Grayson, after he was outed as Nightwing, killed (he got better) and recruited to become a spy for the organization Spyral. Comics! I'd describe Grayson as a crazy sci-fi, spy-thriller. I don't know how newbie friendly it is. King and Seeley took a lot of Grant Morrizon's bizarre ideas from his tenure on Batman and ran with them. Batman Incorporated would be a good place to start if you want the background of Grant Morrison's influence. Otherwise, you can start with The New 52 Nightwing then Forever Evil. -Brian
