Nightwing #79 is set to introduce a new character to the series, just a week before the sold-out Nightwing #78 returns to comic book stores with♒ a second printing.

DC has released first look preview pages (see below) to Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo's Nightw🍒ing #79, on sale April 20, which includes the first appearance of the new characte🐠r Heartless.

"Dick Grayson has inherited Alfred's fortune, a puppy, and a whole lot of questions," reads DC's description. "Who is Mayor Zucco, and what is her relation to the man who murdered Dick's parents? What sinister plans does Blockbuster have for Blüdhaven? What kind of dog food is best for a three-legged 💛puppy? To answer these questions, Dick’s going to need a little help from his friends—past and present."

Ah yes, the pup🍌py. Colloquially named 'Bitewing' by fans, the three-legged addition to Nightwing's supporting cast is in need of a permanent name and the choices are Haley, Shadow, Blue, or Hope.

Fans can choose the final name by participating in a poll that ends March 30 on the digital service.

Finally, that second pꦍrinting of Taylor and Redondo's debut issue Nightwing #78 will go on sale April 27.

Nightwing #79 is written by Tay𝓀lor with art and cover by Redondo, color by Adriano Lucas, lettering by Wes Abbott, and features a c🏅ard stock variant cover by Jamal Campbell.
