A VICIOUS CIRCLE #2 First Look

Bloodshed Through Time Continues in A VICIOUS CIRCLE #2

Book Two of the Monumental Graphic Storytelling Event is Here!

BOOM! Studios revealed today a first look at A VICIOUS CIRCLE #2, the hotly anticipated second issue in the Eisner-award nominated prestige 3-issue original series from Lee Bermejo, iconic artist behind the smash hits Batman: Damned and Joker, with director, creator of Project Power, and one of the screenwriters behind the upcoming Batman sequel, Mattson Tomlin, and letterer Becca Carey (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) about two men cursed to roam across time and space in an unending cycle of violence and revenge, available in July 2023. 

Filled cover to cover with some of the most groundbreaking art in present day comics, the second installment of this enthralling series sees Thacker and Ferris jump from 2090 Copenhagen to 1938 wartime Germany and beyond. As the story leaps backward toward the stunning finale, will bitter enemies remain just that, or is there more to their murderous and time-transcending relationship? 

With each time period, legendary artist Lee Bermejo adjusts his artistic style to pay homage to luminary comics artists and historical master painters, presented in a prestige, oversized format!

A VICIOUS CIRCLE #2 features main cover art by series artist Lee Bermejo, and variant covers by highly acclaimed illustrators Helena Masellis (Deep Cuts), Lewis LaRosa (Bloodshot), and InHyuk Lee (DCeased).
