Nightwing # 134 Sweater Weather Beefcake Variant 2026 NM

Nightwing # 134, released on January 21, 2026, is a key issue in writer Dan Watters' storyline, focusing on Nightwing's fight against the villain Zanni and his "Cirque du Sin". 

In this issue, Nightwing finds himself in the heart of the "Cirque du Sin," where Zanni has trapped the souls of Blüdhaven's children in a deadly carnival game. The central conflict revolves around Nightwing having to play this game, the outcome of which will have lasting repercussions for the city, regardless of whether he wins or loses. 

The issue continues the final stages of Nightwing's showdown against Zanni, a major threat introduced after the defeat of the villain Heartless. Reviewers note the issue is a "messy yet compelling escalation" that works to establish Zanni as a different kind of threat than Nightwing typically faces. It balances Nightwing's personal involvement within the circus with the chaos that spills across Blüdhaven.
