Grayson: Spyral's End Review

Finished reading Grayson: Spyral's End, bringing an end to Dick Grayson's time as a spy with him and his partner, Tiger taking the battle to Spyral as a few of the organisation's top agents unveil their master plan. The book opens with Dick and Tiger still being hunted down by multiple spy agencies after going rouge earlier in the series as the two are helped by the agency of Checkmate in dealing with Frankenstein before coming face to face with Grifter. Once the pair eventually reach the headquarters of Spyral they find the whole place under siege with Helena being severely injured leading to Doctor Netz to try and save her only for the procedure to put the members of Netz's father into Helena and putting Spyral's own secret agenda into fruition. The next story sees a group comprised of Harley Quinn, Constantine, Azrael and Simon Baz have been called together by Jim Corrigan to hear each person's account of meeting with Dick Grayson while working at Spyral. The final story sees Dick leaving Spyral and heading back to Gotham readying for his next adventures by becoming Nightwing once again. Overall this was a good book as it closes out the series on a nice note as it brings an end to Dick Grayson's time as a super spy by using a villain that brings stakes of the emotional kind along with the traditional world ending kind making for quite the interesting situation. The art is good as each art team does a great job in bringing the world of Spyral to live while during the story featuring other characters for the DC universe the use of multiple art teams works to its full potential as it helps in capturing the tone of each character with the sub stories being from each person's prospective. 7/10.
