OUTSIDERS FIVE OF A KIND WEEK 1 NIGHTWING BOOMERANG

Written by Nunzio DeFilippis & Christina Weir
Art and cover by Freddie Williams II
Get ready for FIVE OF A KIND - five issues, five top creative teams, one team-up per week, as Batman takes control of the Outsiders by using these adventures to pick his new lineup!
In WEEK 1: Nightwing/boomerang, Batman's first vote is cast! The two Outsiders with just one thing in common - a troubled relationship to the Dark Knight - must reconcile their differences to go up against Chemo!
