Josh Kopin reports for Bleeding Cool from New York Comic Con. The Vertigo panel began with a search for editor Karen Berger and, when she could not be found, Shelley Bond and Will Dennis got started by introducing the various panelists.

Writer Paul Cornell has elaborated on one of Vertigo's NYCC announcements today — an ongoing series by Cornell and artist Ryan Kelly about a presidential candidate who is 'abducted by aliens'. It's called Saucer Country. It's about Arcadia Alvarado, the Governor of New Mexico, who, on the eve of announcing that she's running for President…[...]

DC Vertigo announced that they were adapting the Millenium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson as a series of graphic novels, two per novel, running through the next few years.

They may deny it. But we all know that the new TV show Once Upon A Time on ABC is a ripoff of the unmade Fables TV adaptation that ABC were pursuing

Six years ago, Vertigo's hit series Fables was being developed by NBC as an ongoing TV series, but only made it to scripts In 2008, ABC stated that they had picked up the rights for a TV pilot of Fables Writers were attached, David Semel was to direct And then… nothing, Now ABC are putting[...]

Today, DC/Vertigo publish the We3 hardcover by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely And, in order to justify the hardcover price, they have added ten new story pages and a load of sketches in the back. Four pages have been added to the first issue, giving us a new introduction to Doctor Rosanne Berry, in which we[...]

It was quite a shock, no one seemed to have seen it coming. This week's announcement suddenly seems less shocking as a result. That publisher RW Edizioni is to take the Italian language rights away from Planeta De Agostini and start publishing DC titles from January 2012, under their Lion imprint, including the DCU, Vertigo and Mad[...]

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!

 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.

He said that he thinks the Hellblazer readership is sophisticated enough to know that there is a separation In the same way as[...]

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.
