DC has announced that Bleeding Hearts #1, the chilling new comic book from Deniz Camp and Stipan Morian which launched in stores just yesterday, has gone back to print for a second run. After a strong response from critics and fans alike highlighting its unnerving emotional depth and human-centred approach to the genre.
The second printing of Bleeding Hearts #1 is already underway, ensuring continued availability as more readers discover the series. The second printing is due to arrive in comic book stores on March 18, 2026.
In Bleeding Hearts, DC Vertigo returns to the kind of intimate, character-driven horror that defined some of its most memorable titles. The series follows two damaged souls bound by a shared trauma they cannot outrun, drawing them into a slow-burn descent where love, obsession, and monstrosity blur together. As their lives unravel, the story exposes the terrifying truths people hide behind their closest relationships, delivering a haunting, atmospheric debut that lingers long after the final page.
In our four-and-a-half-star review of the book Aaron said “With its darkly comedic tone and instantly memorable characters, Bleeding Hearts is a great sign of things to come for DC Vertigo’s original titles. This series also offers a refreshing take on the tired tropes of zombie stories, bringing new life to this rather saturated subgenre that I can only imagine will get more creative with future issues.”
Fans can find the first printing of Bleeding Hearts #1 on shelves now, while supplies remain available, and are encouraged to reach out to their local comic book shops to add the series and the upcoming Bleeding Hearts #1 Second Printing to their pull list so they do not miss what comes next after that jaw-dropping final page of Bleeding Hearts #1. As more readers discover the series and anticipation builds for Bleeding Hearts #2 on March 11, momentum will continue to build. Don’t lose your head (or anything vital) as you rush to jump into this new DC Vertigo series!
Bleeding Hearts #1 Second Printing will feature the original main cover art by Stipan Morian, updated with new logo colouring for this edition (above). DC Vertigo will also offer a Second Printing variant cover, presenting an inks-only version of Nick Dragotta’s variant artwork from the first printing (below).
Bleeding Hearts is written by Deniz Camp, with art by Stipan Morian and colours by Matt Hollingsworth. The series is one of several new DC Vertigotitles launching this month, joining the return of The Nice House by the Sea and upcoming debuts End of Life and The Peril of the Brutal Dark: An Ezra Cain Mystery.
