My pal @danpgwatters.bsky.social is joined by the legend Denys Cowan for a must-read new arc of NIGHTWING. Those two names together ought to be enough to convince you that this is something special. FOC is TODAY, so get your orders in. You won't regret it!

Batman Dark Patterns is one of the best comics of 2025 and @danpgwatters.bsky.social was generous to discuss its development with us. A really special interview. If you’re not reading Nightwing you should fix that! 136 adds Denys Cowan on art!

Nightwing 135 by @danpgwatters.bsky.social

This book consistently is one of the best books out there and maybe my favorite Nightwing run. This story is dark, but Dick is true to himself. The arc ends in a victory with a high cost. I cannot wait for the next issue.

Can't wait for what's to come!
