At New York Comic Con, DC Comics announced ten Vertigo comic book series coming in 2026. The return of the Vertigo imprint for creator-owned works was announced at NYCC last year (see “DC Bringing Back Vertigo“).
First up was the continuation of The Nice House by the Sea with issue #7 on February 4. The series is by James Tynion IV, Álvaro Martínez Bueno, and Jordie Bellaire. The first six issues were collected in June 2025 and was a top 20 seller in the direct market (see “Top 20 Graphic Novels – June 2025“).
