(Updated) NYCC 2025: DC Reveals the First Wave of Vertigo’s Relaunch

Verigo

(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 Nice House by the Sea#7 by James Tynion IV, Álvaro Martínez Bueno, and Jordie Bellaire: Following the survivors of Walter’s “hexagon” experiment, the series explores the terrifying consequences of escape…and the threat it poses to what remains of humanity.
  • Bleeding Hearts by Deniz Camp, Stipan Morian, and Matt Hollingsworth: A zombie named Poke discovers his heart beating again, threatening his place in a society where death reigns supreme.
  • End of Life by Kyle Starks, Steve Pugh, and Chris O’Halloran: A top-tier hitman returns to his Midwestern hometown to care for his dying father…and confront his own mortality.
  • The Peril of the Brutal Dark: An Ezra Cain Mystery by Chris Condon and Jacob Phillips: A noir detective tale that collides with magic, fascism, and a stolen artifact of unimaginable power.
  • 100 Bullets: The US of Anger by Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso: Lono returns to America and reignites chaos, taking the nation’s darkest impulses to their violent extremes.
  • Black Tower: The Raven Conspiracy by Ram V and Mike Perkins: Wizard spies in the UK navigate a global cold war over sorcery, revealing a hidden world of occult power.
  • Necretaceous by Tom Taylor and Darick Robertson: Scientists attempt to time-travel to stop a zombie virus, only to land 66 million years in the past, among dinosaurs.
  • Fanatic by Grace Ellis and Hannah Templer: A woman’s obsession with a comic book spirals into a deadly parasocial fixation on its creator.
  • The Crying Doll by Mariko Tamaki and Rosemary Valero-O’Connell: A Jekyll-and-Hyde thriller about just how far a young woman would go to protect her best friend, who may (or may not) be a killer.
  • A Walking Shadow by Simon Spurrier and Aaron Campbell: Eight strangers wake up chained to a boat in the woods. No memory. No escape. No explanation.

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.

Wonder Woman: Blood and Guts feels like those into mythology will really enjoy it

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?
