Bleeding Hearts #2

Stipan Morian's cover for this 2026 DC Vertigo issue places a wiry, silver-haired young figure at the center of a crushing mass of grotesque, wide-eyed creatures — their blank stares and bloodied details making the lone human presence feel both defiant and deeply outnumbered. The sheer density of unsettling faces packed into the frame gives the image a suffocating, punk-inflected intensity that suits the Vertigo label perfectly. With Deniz Camp writing and Matt Hollingsworth's warm, rust-toned colors amplifying the dread, Bleeding Hearts #2 looks like one of the more viscerally compelling reads DC has to offer this year.
