DC shuttered its Vertigo line some years ago. It kinda brought it back with the Black Label line (more adult takes on Superheroes, for the most part), but not really. It was discussed by DC how Vertigo would return, but then radio silence on the subject...until now.
At NYCC 2025, DC announced a whole slew of new quirky-sounding titles with Vertigo and some old favorites returning/getting relabeled. "100 Bullets: The US of Anger," marks that series coming back, along with, "The Nice House by the Sea," and its predecessor, "The Nice House on the Lake," retroactively becoming Vertigo. There will be zombie stories ("Bleeding Hearts," and "Necretaceous,") as well as thrillers ("The Black Tower: A Raven Conspiracy," and "The Peril of the Brutal Dark: An Ezra Cain Mystery,") plus some weird horror ("Fanatic," and, "A Walking Shadow,") to name just some upcoming comics.
I am all for a bigger publisher trying out quirky and weird stuff because thanks to being larger, they can afford strange little experimental books (in theory, at least). I look forward to Vertigo's official return this February 2026.
