One of Tom King's first works for DC was this series co-plotted with Tom Seeley, who wrote most of the scripts. Dick Grayson had supposedly been killed recently. This series sees him recruited by Helena "Huntress" Bertinelli to join the 60s-inspired international spy ring Spyral, which is gathering information on the secret identities of the Justice League. Dick Grayson helps Spyral but ultimately brings the organization down. His clean-cut style just isn't cut out for a dirty tricks squad.



Artist Mikel Janin is the real hero of this story. The plots by King and Seeley are really difficult to follow and then hard to care about, but Janin makes it all look pretty.



The omnibus also includes a somewhat surreal "Robin War" side story with Gotham teens forming an outlaw Robin club. And at some point Robin is working for or against the Parliament of Owls. Grifter and Midnighter have prominent roles as well.



I enjoyed looking at it more than reading it. Seeley needs to work on coherence and intelligibility, not just style. King would do much better work later on his own.
