In this video I break down the biggest announcement from NYCC 2025 — the return of DC Vertigo in 2026!

DC dropped 10 new titles to relaunched Vertigo during the “DC Vertigo: We’re Back!” panel, including the continuation of The Nice House by the Sea and fresh series like Bleeding Hearts, End of Life, The Peril of the Brutal Dark, Black Tower, 100 Bullets: The US of Anger, Necretaceous, Fanatic, The Crying Doll, and A Walking Shadow. 

I’ll go over:
• What this Vertigo revival means for creator-owned comics
• Release schedule and cover reveals
• Which legacy titles are returning (like 100 Bullets with original creators) 
• How this affects DC Black Label and the bigger DC publishing strategy
