DC never stopped making Vertigo books, the only thing that disappeared was the logo says DC’s Chris Conroy

DC Comics is bringing its Vertigo imprint again in 2026, however a smooth relaunch is already underway because of James Tynion IV’s collection The Nice House by the Sea. Tynion’s post-apocalyptic horror comedian was initially printed underneath the DC Black Label imprint, earlier than switching to Vertigo with challenge 4. In line with DC Comics govt editor Chris Conroy, that is an instance of how DC never actually stopped publishing Vertigo tales, even when the imprint was inactive.

“All you need to do is have a look at the different books [James Tynion IV] is doing throughout the trade to know that James grew up simply as steeped on this stuff as I did,” DC Comics govt editor Chris Conroy tells Popverse. “He did unbelievable superhero work, however the ambition of what he needed to do in Good Home and the ambitions of Alvaro [Martínez Bueno] on artwork with each of them simply pushing themselves to locations that they’d not been earlier than by way of the dimension of the solid, the dimension of the world, and the visible ambition of the storytelling.”

“That was the form of thing that the second the pitch got here in, we knew this might be a Vertigo guide if we had been doing Vertigo proper now. At the time, Black Label was the house for it, however in a manner, it was proof of idea that even when the title wasn’t on the books, we never stopped making Vertigo books. All we’ve actually completed is gotten the logo again.”
