- Friend of the UBlog, Patrick Ballesteros, is chugging right along, adding this George Perez inspired Nightwing original to the plethora of originals he’ll have available during WonderCon.
I always loved George Perez’s original NightWing Design, affectionately known as “Disco NightWing” among me and my friends. My ultimate goal is to have my son cosplay as him one year, that would be epic 😂.
Another #minioriginal coming to @wondercon next month. pic.twitter.com/lAoyhGOPW0
