Out tomorrow. Crazy to think this is my 20th issue on Nightwing. It's definitely my favourite so far. Oh, and in this one a new character joins our Bludhaven cast. Possibly related, if you enjoyed Batman: Dark Patterns, you'll want to read this one...

Nightwing 137 is out today from @dc.com. This story was actually the first that I planned for this new era of Nightwing. It's easily one of my favourite issues of the book we've made so far. Two shooters. Two detectives. Two approaches.

Cover for Nightwing 137 by Jorge Fornes. Issue by me, Denys Cowan, Norm Rapmund, and Francesco Segala.

Preorders always matter with comics. We have a ton of covers and blind bags with really crazy surprises inside you haven't heard about yet. So tell your comic store you want a copy to make sure you get the one you want.

M.A.S.K. #1 is on FOC today from @skybound.bsky.social. As Earth reacts to aliens & Cobra & all the wicked things of the Energon Universe, this is a book about a super genius who has all the answers, and the team who have to put up with him. It's really fun. It's really fast. It's really explodey.

Nightwing 136 is out today from @dc.com I've been so looking forward to people getting to check out this arc. These are some of my favourite comics I've ever worked on. There's something very wrong with the Blüdhaven superhighway...

Dan Watters @danpgwatters.bsky.social · 18/12/2025

DC solicits are out, revealing that the legendary Denys Cowan @denyscowan.bsky.social is joining Nightwing as our ongoing artist with #136. A brand new mystery. A brand new Bludhaven. And the covers by @jorgefornes.bsky.social are going to blow you away. I'm so excited for this new arc.

Dan Watters @danpgwatters.bsky.social · 24/11/2025

This weekend I got to read @christophcondon.bsky.social and Montos' final issue of Green Arrow, #31. A perfect send off. A self-contained story that ties together everything from the series so poignantly. Chris doing what he does best. It's on FOC today. Make sure your LCS know you want it.

Nightwing 130 is out today from @dc.com! Cirque Du Sin part 1. Nightwing is back on the streets of Bludhaven, but so is somebody else. Someone with far more power than he has. And the circus music from nowhere keeps getting louder...

Dan Watters @danpgwatters.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

Batman: Dark Patterns #10 is out today from @dc.com The architect of Gotham's burning makes himself known... But there is another fire burning inside Bruce Wayne. Covers by @cleanlined.bsky.social & @stevansubic.bsky.social

I made a story for this with @bsienk.bsky.social, which is one of the coolest things I've ever gotten to do.

Batman: Dark Patterns #9 is out today from @dc.com. It's personally one of my favorite scripts I've written, and @cleanlined.bsky.social, @treecolour.bsky.social & @gofrankgo.bsky.social made it look better than I ever could have hoped. It all begins with a bucket of bleach...

Sunshine is the closest we've ever gotten to a real Lovecraft film, despite not being based on Lovecraft.

Dan Watters @danpgwatters.bsky.social · 01/08/2025

I think there's a book to be written about 1972's Blood Freak as eulogy for the hippie era post-Manson. Our guy smokes weed once and immediately becomes addicted, shortly leading to his transformation into a giant vampire turkey. A morality tale as old as time.

Dan Watters @danpgwatters.bsky.social · 01/08/2025

From the director of Audition & Ichi the Killer, something very different. A family tries to keep their guest house open despite their guests continually getting Final Destination-ed. Contains musical numbers, claymation, gore, and belly laughs.

Dan Watters @danpgwatters.bsky.social · 01/08/2025

Puppet Master had far more edge than I expected going in. It's a proper horror movie.

Dan Watters @danpgwatters.bsky.social · 01/08/2025

The title and poster might have you think City of the Living Dead is a Romero knock off. It's nothing of the sort. The gates of Hell are open and all sorts of horrible shit is seeping through. Set pieces that will stay with you for life.

Dan Watters @danpgwatters.bsky.social · 31/07/2025

If you're looking for an occult classic, you can't go wrong with The Devil Rides Out. Few films of this style from this era really contain the imagery you hope for, they just have cool posters. This one delivers. Candles and goat heads and Christopher Lee, oh my.

Dan Watters @danpgwatters.bsky.social · 31/07/2025

Prince of Darkness: a lesser-sung Carpenter which lives in my head cos he's riffing on his love of Nigel Kneale's Quatermass + Stone Tapes. (Carpenter also tapped Kneale for a draft of Halloween 3. Despite what people keep trying to convince me, Halloween 3 remains bad.) Also Alice Cooper's in it!

Dan Watters @danpgwatters.bsky.social · 31/07/2025

There's a LOT of post-Scream meta horror, and most of it doesn't work. Then there's Behind the Mask, which really fucking works. Funny when it needs to be funny. Decidedly unfunny when it needs to be that, too.

Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon
