COMICS THE MAGAZINE (2026) #4 CVR B RICO RENZI VERTIGO VAR

WELCOME TO OUR DC COMICS DOUBLE FEATURE WITH OUR FIRST EVER ORDERABLE VARIANT COVER! That’s right! DC Comics is in a new golden era, in both quality and sales, initially built on their ABSOLUTE line, breaking decades-long sales records and frequently taking the #1 Publisher spot in market share reports, but with Next Level, Vertigo, and beyond, the glory is linewide. Why? Our theory is that the books are that great, the backlist is that strong, and the hits just keep coming. So, let’s feature two of them.

FEATURE ONE: SUPERGIRL & LOBO! We feature two of the biggest characters in the DC Roster, both with contemporary and historical classics. What makes Supergirl and Lobo characters worth watching? How do they represent the contemporary DCU?

FEATURE TWO: THE NEW VERTIGO! The new Vertigo line is wall-to-wall banger books by some of the best creators working in the industry. Their recent announcement of the expanded slate, including the return of 100 BULLETS and new entries including but not limited to Darick Robertson’s first-new Vertigo title in years on NECRETACEOUS with Tom Taylor, Mario Tamaki & Rosemary Valero O’Connell’s THE CRYING DOLL, Simon Spurrier & Aaron Campbell’s A WALKING SHADOW, and much, much more. We take a peek at how they built it and what’s to come.
