Welcome to the world of Tangent Comics — where you only know the names. Parallel Lines: A DC Comics Tangent Universe Podcast is a bi-weekly, issue-by-issue exploration of DC Comics’ Tangent Universe events, hosted by Shawn Engel and Michael Bradley.

“Nightwing’s existence depends on total secrecy. Tonight, we tell someone about Nightwing — and he’s going to become the most dangerous man in the world.”

The shadow-group Nightwing has their fingers in everything. From princes to peccants and presidents to paupers, they pull the strings and orchestrate world events to fit their needs! But now, someone’s gunning for them. Find out who — and why — as Shawn and Michael look at in “The Most Dangerous Man in the World” by John Ostrander and Jan Duursema!
