Doom Patrol/Justice League and New Title Announcements from Young Animal and Vertigo

DC unexpectedly dropped their (alphabetically) Vertigo and Young Animal announcements ahead of tomorrow’s panel. The biggest news is probably Milk Wars – a weekly crossover event between Young Animal and the DCU.  Oh, sure – Mother Panic/Batman was going to happen at some point, but Doom Patrol/Justice League, Shade the Changing Girl/Wonder Woman or Cave Carson/Swamp Thing?  No, […]

EXCLUSIVE PREVIEW: Bedlam strikes New York’s streets in SAVAGE THINGS #3

Twenty-Five years ago, the U.S. Government created a secret agency of “chaos agents” dedicated to eliminating enemies of state around the world. Then, they were considered too dangerous to control and were eliminated themselves. Or so the government thought. Now, however, as the Black Forest cell sows chaos in the streets of New York, they […]

Another ex-Vertigo editor enters the publishing game with Alisa Kwitney’s Liminal Comics

It seems Karen Berger and Shelly Bond aren’t the only ex-Vertigo editors who can’t stay away from the comics game.

DC Imprints Vs. Indies Sales Band Report For February 2017

User by Grayson, Phillips and Bolton is FINALLY being collected by Image

Well here is some news that couldn’t make me happier. User, a book originally published by Vertigo around the turn of the century, is finally being collected at Image. It’s coming in May. I was an editor on this book (although Joan Hilly did all the heavy lifting) and I can say with a little pride that […]
