REVOLUTION 9 VOL. 2: BLOOD CODA

The revolution isn’t over—it’s personal. Set in the Underworld universe, Revolution 9: Blood Coda follows Revolution Velveteen 9 as she hunts the masters who turned her into a weapon. With the Order of Nine exposed as architects of global manipulation, Velveteen targets the Nine Hands—the brutal teachers who conditioned her to kill. Writer Steve Orlando, joined by comics legend Georges Jeanty on art, delivers a hard-hitting action thriller built around standalone assassination missions, each issue centered on a single, unforgettable kill. From floating war cities to frozen slaughterhouses, corporate hellscapes, and the depths beneath Manhattan, every mission shatters another lie from Velveteen’s past. As vengeance turns to reckoning, Velveteen must decide what freedom truly costs. A visceral, globe-spanning action saga about breaking chains and reclaiming identity.
