@danpgwatters.bsky.social and Dexter Soy’s NIGHTWING has been terrific, they’ve been knocking every issue out of the park, Dexter brings a Scott McDaniel style to the book which makes me think of the classic Nightwing title

Out now: my Best Must Read DC Comic Books of the Year (2025 Edition) video.

I went through everything I read across every format and picked the DC books that hit the hardest this year. Also yes, Batman Dark Patterns is my #1 and I’m begging for a DC Absolute Edition.

Starting to roll out the interviews for CYCLOPS #1 now, but I have room for more.
This is my Marvel passion project. @ashcanpress.com bullied me into pitching it on a walk through Central Park because he dug the idea.
@rogeantonio.bsky.social has outdone himself on every panel. A masterclass.

A propulsive, action-packed first issue that is steeped in X lore but not bogged down by it. Just an excellent first issue - I read it and loved it. Make sure you order it!!
If you enjoyed ULTIMATE UNIVERSE: TWO YEARS IN then I have another book coming out in February that's going to be rather spiffy...
CYCLOPS #1 by myself and Roge Antonio.

The Shredder is after the rogue Foot soldier The Mourner, rumored to have procured some top-secret technology to use in the mysterious device.

The Shredder is determined to undermine the Mourner's purpose.

Even though it is the final issue, I’d like to see people pick up this stand alone issue to see the quality of what was presented here for the DC All In era. I’d like to see stores, myself included, have to reorder due to demand.
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.
