100 Bullets: The US of Anger #2
(W) Brian Azzarello (A) Eduardo Risso
VERTIGO’S MOST HARD-HITTING CRIME EPIC IS BACK! America has a problem. The streets are burning and a young man is dead — but it sure looks like the only reason Lono’s arrived at the funeral is to pay disrespects…
Not many people made it out alive from the fall of the Trust in 100 Bullets. Lono did—just barely—and it sent him spiraling on a years-long international odyssey. His one-time protégé, Loop Hughes, was the only one smart enough to walk away clean. But now tragedy has come knocking on Loop’s door, and the scent of blood has attracted a dangerous stray dog. Lono’s back in the United States, and he’s on the hunt…through a network of good ol’ boys and militias, megachurches, millionaires, and madmen. In Brother Lono, Lono unsuccessfully tried to save his own soul; in The US of Anger, he’ll play Satan to a host of demons tempting the United States to sell hers. The multi-Eisner Award-winning team of Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso has returned to its most famous creation, unleashing a new chapter in Vertigo’s greatest crime saga—told for the first time in stunning black and white!

100 Bullets: The US of Anger #1
(W) Brian Azzarello (A) Eduardo Risso
HAPPY 250TH, AMERICA. LONO’S BACK. YOU WON’T SURVIVE THE YEAR. Not many people made it out alive from the fall of the Trust in 100 Bullets. Lono did — just barely — and it sent him spiraling on a yearslong international odyssey. His one-time protégé, Loop Hughes, was the only one smart enough to walk away clean. But now tragedy has come knocking on Loop’s door, and the scent of blood has attracted a dangerous stray dog. Lono’s back in the United States, and he’s on the hunt… through a network of good ol ‘ boys and militias, megachurches, millionaires, and madmen. In Brother Lono, Lono unsuccessfully tried to save his own soul; in The US of Anger, he’ll play Satan to a host of demons tempting the United States to sell hers. The multi-Eisner Award-winning team of Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso has returned to its most famous creation, unleashing a new chapter in Vertigo’s greatest crime saga — told for the first time in stunning black and white!
On July 1, the multi-Eisner Award-winning team of Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso reunite for 100 Bullets: The US of Anger #1, the start of an all-new eight-issue limited series that brings their landmark creation back to the page with purpose and precision. This is not a return. This is a reckoning.
Not many people made it out alive from the fall of the Trust in 100 Bullets. Lono did—just barely—and the years since have taken him far from home. His onetime protégé, Loop Hughes, was the only one smart enough to walk away clean. But tragedy has come knocking on Loop’s door, and the scent of blood has drawn a dangerous stray dog back across the border. Lono isn’t back to make peace. He’s back to make trouble. Lono is home again, and he’s hunting through a landscape of good ol’ boys and militias, megachurches, millionaires, and madmen.
In Brother Lono, the titular character tried and failed to save his own soul. In The US of Anger, he becomes something far more dangerous: a catalyst for the demons already lurking in America’s shadow. As the country reaches its 250th anniversary, the world has finally caught up to the kind of story Azzarello and Risso have always told—one where violence, power, and rage collide in ways that feel uncomfortably familiar. Their new story cuts directly into the fractures of modern America, rendered for the first time in stunning black and white, bringing a stark new visual edge to a world that has never felt more timely. Vertigo was built on stories that cut deep. The US of Anger is exactly that kind of story.
100 Bullets: The US of Anger #1 is written by Brian Azzarello with art by Eduardo Risso, lettering by Clem Robins, and a main cover by Dave Johnson, with variant covers by Frank Miller, Jock, and Eduardo Risso. The 40-page debut issue is priced at $3.99, with card-stock variants available for $4.99, and is the first installment of an eight-issue limited series arriving on July 1, 2026. 100 Bullets: The US of Anger is published under DC Vertigo and carries an Ages 17+ content descriptor for mature readers.
Vertigo is back! After the announcement of its return last year, the first titles of DC’s relaunched Vertigo line have started to hit shelves. During ComicsPRO 2026, DC gave an update on the rollout.

Beginning this summer, Vertigo will publish 100 Bullets: The US of ANGER and Fanatic, followed in the fall by Necretatious and Black Tower: The Raven Conspiracy.
Winter 2026 will see the arrival of The Crying Doll and A Walking Shadow, rounding out the imprint’s first full year of its return.
As revealed during New York Comic Con 2025:
Oni Press and William M. Gaines Agent, Inc., are celebrating EC Comics’ history-making, headline-grabbing return Epitaphs From the Abyss Library Edition: Book One – the first in a new line of enhanced hardcovers collecting the entirety of the new EC library at Oni Press and debuting in two eye-popping editions, Oversized, unapologetic, and uncontrollably outrageous, both the standard Epitaphs From the Abyss Library Edition and the sublime Epitaphs From the Abyss Library Edition – Limited Slipcase & Portfolio Edition (limited to 1,000 units) will be on sale on July 14th, 2026—just as the new and nightmarish EC Comics horror host the Grave-Digger foretold.
Collecting Epitaphs From the Abyss #1–12 for the first time in a staggeringly deluxe, oversized (7.5″ x 11.5″) hardcover, both editions of Epitaphs From the Abyss Library Edition: Book One feature tales of depraved intention and traumatic tension in the undying EC tradition by relentless writers including Jason Aaron, Brian Azzarello, Corinna Bechko, Chris Condon, J. Holtham, and Matt Kindt, all realized into bloody reality by “all-slaughter” artists like Charlie Adlard, Tyler Crook, Kano, Klaus Janson, Leomacs, Alison Sampson, and many more. Both editions also feature more than 50 pages of “behind-the-screams” material, including process art, character designs for EC’s newest horror hosts, and a cover gallery for readers to gouge their eye, as well as all-new commentary from cartoonist Jay Stephens and series designer Rian Hughes.
But that’s not all! Enter: the Epitaphs From the Abyss Library Edition – Limited Slipcase & Portfolio HC! – will feature an ultra-deluxe, limited-edition version of the Epitaphs From the Abyss hardcover comes packaged with a specially designed portfolio set featuring high-quality, 11” x 7″ cardstock prints featuring gallery-ready reproductions of all 12 covers by comics master Lee Bermejo, and packaged in a masterfully designed, foil-stamped slipcase featuring the work of artist Dustin Weaver and Eisner Award–nominated designer Rian Hughes.
In the history of comics, no one publishes a horror comics cover like EC Comics! Iconic, scandalous, and unforgettable, EC Comics’ historic horror covers are seared into the collective memory of generations. Epitaphs From the Abyss Library Edition – Limited Slipcase & Portfolio HC is the first-ever portfolio for the new EC Comics titles from Oni Press, featuring Lee Bermejo’s meticulously macabre covers spanning all 12 issues of the first hit series to immortalize EC’s long-awaited return. Having reaped international renown for his collaborations with writer Brian Azzarello on Joker and Batman: Damned, and with writer/screenwriter Mattson Tomlin on the Eisner Award-nominated A Vicious Circle, and countless unforgettable comics series, Bermejo has earned a reputation as one of the industry’s most iconic and formidable artists across a nearly three decade career.
In 1955, the Comics Code Authority drove a stake through the depraved heart of EC Comics—the iconic publisher behind Tales from the Crypt, Vault of Horror, Haunt of Fear, and more instantly influential titles that redefined American horror for generations to come. Now, groundbreaking comics publisher Oni Press has done the unthinkable: resurrected the immortal spirit of EC Comics for the 21st century with a brand-new slate of wildly bestselling, critically acclaimed, and award-nominated new series . . . beginning with its flagship horror title Epitaphs From the Abyss!
On July 14th, find out what brought the most notorious name in terror roaring back from the crypt as the Epitaphs From the Abyss Library Edition: Book One stalks into comic shops and book stores everywhere in two masterfully designed editions that no true fan – or blood-drinking fiend – will want to miss.

(Updated with more details and art) After a bit of a tease and false start, Vertigo has gotten a proper launch from DC and full slate announced at New York Comic Con 2025.
Ten titles in total were announced with an interesting mix of concepts and creative teams. They remain creator-owned, an aspect that has helped define the Vertigo brand.
The new DC Vertigo slate begins rolling out in February 2026, with The Nice House by the Sea #7 leading the charge on February 4. Bleeding Hearts #1 will publish on February 11, End of Life #1 on February 18 and The Peril of the Brutal Dark #1 will launch on February 25, with the rest of the new DC Vertigo imprint releasing throughout 2026.
A preview comic was released during the convention dubbed “A New Beginning.” In 2024 during New York Comic Con, DC announced the return of Vertigo. Vertigo is the beloved imprint that was shuttered in favor of DC’s Black Label. Vertigo launched in 1993 to publish more adult and graphic content that couldn’t be printed under the
Comics Code Authority. It allowed more freedom than the DC line would allow. The line saw such titles as Sandman, American Vampire, Astro City, Daytripper, 100 Bullets, DMZ, Human Target, iZombie, Northlanders, Y: The Last Man, Sweet Tooth, and so much more by some of the best in the business. It relaunched in 2018 for a short return before being shuttered again.
We’ll have more information and art when it’s officially released.
The superstar team of Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang redefined Wonder Woman during the New 52, and now their game-changing run makes its Compact Comics debut, with this epic story now presented in a portable, casual reader friendly 5.5″ x 8.5″ format!
The Gods walk among us and only one woman would dare try to protect humanity from the wrath of such strange and powerful forces. But is she one of us–or one of them?
When Wonder Woman is willing to take a stand against Hera, Queen of the Gods, she makes herself an enemy. But Hera isn’t the one Wonder Woman should be worried about…her daughter, Strife, is coming to Paradise Island…and she has a secret that will shatter Wonder Woman’s life. Will the Amazons’ most powerful daughter be there to shield them from the wrath of Hera when she arrives?
When Hades and Poseidon need to settle who will be King of the Gods–Wonder Woman can’t let their turf war decimate the realm of man!
And what true story of the Gods is complete without a little trip to hell?
