Fine, fine, fine. But what I want to know about is… Wildstorm and Vertigo continuity Seriously, everyone's been focused on a new DC reality, that they haven't quite realised that what were actually getting with the new DCU is not a rewritten DC Universe but some kind of merged universe[...]

It's a great big historical epic with a crime story and a ghost story and a couple of love stories and all kinds of things in it." Then I said I hoped the marketing guy down at the end of the table would summarize phrase that more pithily sometime soon. At the DC Vertigo panel[...]

We knew that Telltale Games were going to make downloadable episodic games based on the DC Vertigo title Fables, by Bill Willingham and Mark Buckingham. But until today we didn't know that Bill Willingham was going to work on the games as well. Bleeding Cool understands that the deal is expected to be announced on Saturday, and[...]

As people pore over the recently released DC Universe solicitations, bear a thought for the rest of the comics being published by the company. As well as the first issue of the BleedingCooled Supernatural by Brian Wood, the first issue of the BleedingCooled Spaceman by Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso… As well as a listing for[...]

"Still #669! Still #17!" And in Uncanny X-Men's case "Still 543!" even though in a couple of issues it will have to be "Now #1!"… Dave McCaig Vs DC Printing Presses Dave McCaig is the colourist for, amongst other books, Northlanders, for DC/Vertigo And he just came across the printed versions of the fifth trade and the[...]

Dave McCaig is the colourist for, amongst other books, Northlanders, for DC/Vertigo And he just came across the printed versions of the fifth trade and the new Northlanders #41 And he has something to tweet. Just got my comps for Northlanders 41 which printed GREAT + Northlanders trade vol 5 which printed TERRIBLY Sigh DC[...]

Two years ago, writer Brian Azzarello gave the cryptic clue about a potential television adaptation of his Vertigo series 100 Bullets, telling MTV "Television — there's an idea!… That's all I'll say Television… or maybe something that's not just TV" which was taken as a reference to HBO. Well, yesterday, things got a lot more concrete[...]

The new issue of Hellblazer out this week, in which Gemma Masters inherits a very John Constantine way of doing things - when dealing with her uncle John.

Not only is Brian Wood no longer DC exclusive, not only was he ditched from Supergirl days before the DC Relaunch announcements, not only is DMZ coming to an end (his choice), but now I understand that DC have prematurely cancelled their Vertigo comic Northlanders, Wood's ongoing series of series set[...]

Kevin Colden has a strip in the Strange Adventures anthology book out from Vertigo on Wednesday. But enough of that, here are some pages from a pitch he once made for a comic book adaptation of the Anthony Burgess novel, A Clockwork Orange. Hi! Kevin Colden has a strip in the Strange Adventures anthology book out from[...]

 The best analogy I can give you is this: The previously published collection known as Transmetropolitan: Tales of Human Waste (Vol.0, which will be collected under "Volume 10" later this year, as they reconfigure the volumes over at Vertigo), was a scripted effort  There were stories and sort-of flash fictions written by Warren Ellis, and accompanying[...]

We mentioned yesterday that Lauren Beukes has written a story with Inaki Miranda for the Vertigo anthology Strange Adventures And asked who was next. Well, Goran Sudzuka is an old hand at Vertigo, with Y The Last Man, Outlaw Nation and Lady Joanna/Hellblazer under his belt But I think this is Paul Cornell's debut work[...]

And while he couldn't speak for the DC Universe portrayal, he understands that it will basically be the same character, the same person, but it won't interfere with his Vertigo portrayal. He said that he thinks the Hellblazer readership is sophisticated enough to know that there is a separation In the same way as[...]

So who is contributing to the Strange Adventures anthology book from Vertigo shipping next month? The solictations say; STRANGE ADVENTURES #1 Written by BRIAN AZZARELLO, SCOTT SNYDER, PETER MILLIGAN and others Art by EDUARDO RISSO, JEFF LEMIRE, KEVIN COLDEN and others Including the first chapter of Brian and Eduardi's new Vertigo book Spaceman. But who else? After all there are[...]

Yesterday I told you that John Constantine was coming back to the DC Universe. And tomorrow, while Doctor Who is on, current Hellblazer writer, who is

I don't know how. But I am reliably informed from a certain Brazilian in the know that John Constantine will be appearing as a major character in upcoming DC Universe titles, post Flashpoint. Created in the then-DC Universe title Swamp Thing, by John Totleben, Steve Bissette and Alan Moore, this street-level occultist span off his own[...]

It looks like Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso's 100 Bullets is to be collected by DC Vertigo in omnibus-style volumes from October, the first weighing in at 608 pages. Not sure which issues will make up those numbers, there's about 27 issues worth there including the Winter's Edge piece, but it wouldn't take you through to[...]

It is my favourite Vertigo book by far And I like Vertigo books. DMZ by Brian Wood and a number of artists, the tale of an America divided and at war with itself – literally, with Manhattan as a demilitarized zone, with excellent sniping opportunities, comes to a conclusion at the end of the year. Until then,[...]

Sean Gordon Murphy of Joe The Barbarian fame is currentoy working on two projects for DC/Vertigo, an American Vampire miniseries set in World War II, written by Scott Snyder, and his own original graphic novel that he's been working on for four years and that avoided the recent Vertigo OGN cull Punk Rock Jesus. Murphy describes[...]

This cover for Flashpoint: Lois Lane And The Resistance has been running around my head. Anyway, last night, this is what popped out. Apologies to

Batroc The Leaper is a joke. A character designed in full French stereotype, but one as a criminal with honour who will play the game. But as likely to

Directly from the Vertigo panel at Emerald City Comic Con, Ed Kaye of Hypergeek writes for Bleeding Cool, and runs down the bullet points for discussion… Love And Rockets' Gilbert Hernandez is to draw a guest issue of iZombie. Cowboys, a graphic novel by Gary Phillips and Brian Hurtt is out in June from Vertigo Crime Darwyn Cooke[...]

Yes, that's more like it. Real life Transmetropolitan bill posters posted up in New York on the corner of W 26th st and 8th, created for the Transmet Art

Yes, just because it's the first chapter of the Death of Spider-Man arc, don't expect it to actually have Spider-Man in it, in any shape or form. Leinil

It does not appear to be in Apple's iBooks or the Google Bookstore at this time. Yes, PETER & MAX: A FABLES NOVEL by Bill Willingham and with spot illustrations by Steve Leialoha is available today, as an E-Book priced at $9.99.

DC's Graphic Content blog has confirmed what Grant Morrison rumoured earlier this year, that DC Vertigo is to finally collect the Flex Mentallo comic DC were initially sued by Charles Atlas over copyright and trademark issues regarding the book, but the case was dismissed by the judge However as part of the letters presented to[...]

I understand from a number of impassioned pleas by Vertigo creators that there has been a major contractual  change instigated at Vertigo And indeed I'm now told it will apply to all new creator owned series at DC, Vertigo or otherwise. The most recent model  saw creators working on a relatively lower page rate than[...]

And as Dan Slott would say there's probably not enough of that in these parts of late. Although as to why the first and last pages of Dave Gibbons' story in the recollection and reprint of Vertigo: Winter's Edge have been switched, maybe we'll never know. UPDATE: Artist Sean Murphy got the script for issue[...]
