End of Life #1, the sharp-edged new thriller from DC Vertigo by Kyle Starks and Steve Pugh, is being sent back to press for a Second Printing. The Second Printing will arrive in stores on April 15, 2026.  End of Life #2 arrives to shops on March 18.

Eddie Stallion, a man-child hitman with very grown-up problems, makes a catastrophic mistake when he accidentally robs the Raven, a high‑ranking boss in the Menagerie assassin cabal. With a price on his head, he retreats to the last place anyone would look: Pluto, the small Midwestern town he once fled and where his estranged father is now dying. Instead of safety, Eddie runs straight into old friends eager to claim the bounty, Menagerie killers closing in, a cancelled newspaper‑strip creator turned local crime lord, and the childhood first love he never got over. As he’s pulled back into the town he abandoned, Eddie has no choice but to clean up the mess he’s made… the only way a hitman knows how.

End of Life #1 Second Printing will feature the original main cover art by Gerald Parel, updated with new logo coloring for this edition. DC Vertigo will also offer a Second Printing variant cover, featuring an inks-only version of Rafa Sandoval’s variant cover from the first printing:
