Grayson: We All Die At Dawn Review

Finished reading Grayson: We All Die At Dawn, continuing the adventures of Dick Grayson within the the spy organisation of Spyral as he and his partner Helena Bertinelli team up with Midnighter and deal with ghosts from Helena's past. The book opens up with Dick, Helena and Midnighter crash landing in a desert after Dick and Midnighter hear a woman give brith to a baby before see dies in the crash while the group decide to trek across the desert till they can find civilisation. The next story begins with Dick and Helena on Gageo-Do island in the Yellow Sea where the two find a prison surrounded by dead bodies. While Helena interrogates a survivor Midnighter kidnaps Dick and takes him to the God Garden, a satellite for man made monsters. While Helena tries to locate the Paragon Brain as the whole organisation of Spyral attempt to locate Dick. The following story opens up in Dublin, Ireland were Helena finds herself captured by bomb maker Robert McGinn while unknowingly working for Spyral where he notices Helena. The final story has the director of Spyral Mr Minos going rogue as Dick starts to chase him after Minos shoots Helena with her own crossbow as Minos hopes to sell information to the press. Overall this was an amazing book as writers Tim Seeley and Tom King continue the series as Dick Grayson and Spyral concludes their search for superpowered organs. The interactions between Dick and Midnighter are brilliant as during their track in the desert Midnighter is constantly looking for a fight and can't believe how Dick keeps going as Midnighter believes that the desert will be their grave even though he's been enhanced with powers. This continues during the fight they have on the God Garden helps to show how prepared Midnighter was for a fight against Dick by studying footage of him as Nightwing only to be out smarted by Dick's Robin moves leading to the two teaming up again after Dick gets through to Midnighter. The story in Ireland is great as it dives into some of Helena's background and where she comes from and how Dick factors into the whole story is incredibly interesting and his cover even starts to become clear when he starts referencing one of Batman's aliases and a couple of his ex's. The artwork throughout the book is great as artists Mikel Janín and Stephen Mooney both draw out some greatly designed fight scenes and factual features showing characters strong emotions that are all further highlighted by Jeromy Cox's colours. 9/10.
