A new era begins here for Blüdhaven and its hero. The city’s new super-highway was meant to be its lifeline but has instead become a hotbed of strange and violent incidents. Nightwing’s investigation into this haunted road drives him toward a tragedy from which he may never recover—and sends him looking for answers in Blüdhaven’s tragic past. Superstar artist Denys Cowan joins ongoing writer Dan Watters for a supernatural noir tale of urban folklore…in a city where the unavenged dead will stay silent no longer.

Comic Watch - Theron Couch
Mar 18, 2026Nightwing #136 is an effective start to a new story arc. The art team has a rough start when it comes to character work, though it succeeds in other aspects. Narratively it’s a very moody comic as Watters sets up another supernatural story in what is becoming a very distinctive setting with the city of Blüdhaven. Perhaps best of all, Nightwing #136 is a perfect jumping-on point for an already strong run on the series. Read Full Review

Yeah, that wasn't good at all. Watters doesn't want to be there.

I read all of Tom Taylor's run, then bailed. I debated whether I should join this "jumping on" point. What happened to Dick Grayson's voice? Who talks like that except a writer. Even the narration was like slogging through quicksand. Dick is supposed to be the tonal opposite of Bruce Wayne. If I missed something by not reading the last 30 issues, then this is not a jumping on point. Every line of dialogue, every word of narration, sounded like is was extracted from Martin Sheen's Captain Willard in the swamp of Apocalypse Now. I get that horror is now in vogue, but this version of "The Immortal Nightwing" left me cold. I'm out.
