Jun 21, 2026Nightwing may not be the flashiest title on the stands today. However, this issue proves that it can still surprise even a jaded reader with something special. I can’t say anything beyond that without spoiling it, but I loved this issue! Read Full Review

Jun 18, 2026Nightwing #139 does a great job at how a hero’s status quo can be reflective of the city they protect. Dan Watters and Denys Cowan play with this concept well with the how when it comes to Nightwing becoming public enemy number one in Bludhaven. Read Full Review

Jun 17, 2026Nightwing’s fall from grace continues to spiral as the Waterfront unveils new secrets of its’ own. Watters puts Grayson in an argument of ethics for this chapter. . Cowan and the art team craft the mounting struggles of searching for the witch’s hidden clues. A different look at the adventures of Dick Grayson for sure. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - Theron Couch
Jun 17, 2026Blüdhaven’s superhighway doesn’t exact a toll in lives in Nightwing #139, but it nevertheless forces Nightwing to confront death. The story in this issue is more human than the rest despite it being about grotesque human remains. It also connects nicely to the aftermath of his superhighway car accident. Despite the continued weakness of the art, specifically in its inability to give Nightwing himself much expressiveness of feeling, “Blüdhaven Lore” continues to be a strong story. Read Full Review

This was a really good issue. I like seeing Dick Grayson use his detective skills, yes he isn't as smart as Time Drake or Bruce Wayne, but he also is not a meat head. The art and story are also very engaging and interesting
