Article Summary

Dexter Soy will conclude his run as artist on Nightwing with issue #135 in February 2026.
Dan Watters remains the writer for the final three issues of the current Nightwing storyline.
Speculation builds on Dexter Soy's next move: staying at DC, joining Marvel, or launching creator-owned work.
Nightwing faces new threats and dark changes in Blüdhaven as his series approaches a major turning point.

After the new DC Comics' February 2026 solicits and solicitations, Dexter Soy posts to social media "Nightwing #135 main cover My final issue on the series. That was fun @DanPGWatters @VeronicaGandini, Wes Abbott, Jess Berbey, Cheers!" Three issues left to go… will this be a creative change for the entire series? Has DC Comics got somewhere new for Dexter Soy to go? Has Marvel Comics poached him? Or is he going full publisher with his Robin-adjacent creator-owned series Red Ronin? Maybe only his Patreon readers will get the full truth… here are the final three issues with Dan Watters to go.
