Didn't see a thread for it so I'm sharing whatever has been announced
>Deniz Camp and Stipan Morian reunite to tell a story about a Post appocalypse world where Zombies with feelings have dominated over Humans and one Zombie starts to question the Status Quo and asks they're the dominant life form on Earth, so is there more to life than eating people?"
>A New series from Kyle Starks and Steve Pugh. Kyle describes it as “John Wick goes to Northern Exposure,” about a “piece of shit” hitman who accidentally robs an animal-themed cabal and proceeds to get targeted. The Comic also includes a cancelled newspaper cartoonist who has turned to a life of crime. “Real” strips from his comic will be included in the issues.
>It's described as a Contemporary Spy Thriller. apparently got magic and stuff
>Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso series will be presented entirely in Black and white. Some of the previous characters will return!this one is a surprise, apparently Azzarello swore off DC a while ago
>>150748532i'll not fall for it again
So what's the format and release schedule for this new Vertigo?
>Chris Condon and Jacob Phillips will tell us a Classical Detective Story with Some Sci-Fi and Fantasty, its set before Pearl Harbour and "Current Events" will play a role!
>It tells a Comic about a Woman Obsessed with a Comic. Its a comic about Parasocial fan-creator relationships, and how they can warp your reality.
Erm, where is my capeshit?I can't read a comic that doesn't have Batman in it!
>Its about 8 people who wake up chained to a boat in a forest, with no idea how they got there and a monster on their tail. Aaron is using stop motion puppets as references for his art in the bookapparently Stephen King said he was really into the twist of the concept
>>150748545How is Ram V as a Writer? The only thing I've read of his was The One Hand min,i which was paired with Dan Watters' The Six Fingers mini
>>150748542>apparently Azzarello swore off DC a while agoSource?
Hard to pre-emptively judge these but I'm glad Vertigo is back>>150748542I love 100 Bullets but I'm not sure I can be bothered with another spinoff
>It is set in New York at the beginning of the AIDS crisis in the 80s, and inspired by the real-life faceless dolls people keep in their houses. Mariko says it's a metaphor for a really messed up childhood and Rosemary says the Crying doll is visually different from anything she's ever done. It will be a mini-series!
>>150748574Has Stephen King read all these books or something?
>Its about Zombie Dinosaurs!nuff said
>>150748575Bang average, but better than most writers of today.
>The panel then wrapped up with DC Black Label news: Coming in April 2026, Swamp Thing #1-4, a continuation of the controversial storyline that was cancelled at the time. In it, Swamp Thing meets Jesus Christ.the big one for the end
>Trying to resurrect Vertigo again>Black Label was a giant failureSigh, hey faggots, you do know Vertigo was originally a HORROR imprint right? One where the flagship was Hellblazer which you can't do anymore cause you raped John Constantine too many times. Nigga can't even hold an ongoing anymore cause his ass won't shut and he attracts gay flies.My prediction: This will be a garbage imprint where DC shoves all its lame non-capeshit tv and movie pitches. Expect nothing mini-series where everything dies before issue #12.
>>150748613Glad this book is finally getting released
>>150748613I read the script for the issue and it sucked.
>>150748602I wish we could feed Tom Taylor to zombie dinosaurs.
>>150748575Hit or Miss for most people.>>150748613Well, it was written before shitting on Christianity was in vogue so this has a chance of being good.
>>150748618While I share your scepticism I think tv pitches are the necessary evil these days. The best you can hope for is that they learn the long-form comic itself can provide better material than a simple mini
fake optimism for co who will not buy these books and won't even scan these books, prioritizing the latest X-men crossover that they hate-followthen when the books are being published, it will all be derided as "woke trash" and "not as good as" classic Vertigo - which will then be met with replies that classic Vertigo was also overhyped and always suckedthen the books will struggle to get past issue 6 if they're not already planned to be ministhen co will complain that there are no good comics
>>150748602Go on...
>>150748542Only one worth reading. And I hate modern azzarello.
>>150748659>then be met with replies that classic Vertigo was also overhyped and always suckedI mean it is overrated. 80 percent of the titles are forgettable trash.
>>150748549>The rollout begins February 4, 2026, with The Nice House by the Sea #7, followed by Bleeding Hearts #1 on February 11, End of Life #1 on February 18, and The Peril of the Brutal Dark #1 on February 25. The remaining series will release throughout the year.Bleeding Hearts is confirmed as an ongoing, not sure about the restAlso they posted the high def covers here: https://aiptcomics.com/2025/10/09/dc-official-art-10-new-vertigo-series-2026/
>>150748665Damn you Boco, don't engage with the Tom Taylor book!
>>150748659>then co will complain that there are no good comicsIf you can't even sell your books to the "consumer" types, doesn't that imply the books are really bad? /co/ is full of cynics who don't buy anything, okay well what about everyone else? Where is the audience this stuff is supposed to be aimed at?If nobody buys the comics, assuming nothing absolutely retarded happens, then clearly the comics weren't good even by normie standards.
>>150748487Apparently Gretchen Felker Martin was supposed to be a part of this
>>150748707I don't know who that is. But its such a stupid, goofy concept. Right up my alley.
>>150748659In your scenario these comics are not good, so what are you complaining about?
>>150748716Did they say something on Twitter or something?
>Kyle Starks>Chris Condon>Tom TaylorThese are not the type of names taht should be attached to Vertigo projects. I would have liked more fresh names in the industry but comics are weird, it's a low paying job but it requires you to have experience, go figure.I'll keep my eye out for these>>150748511>>150748532>>150748542>>150748563>>150748574>>150748586
>>150748738Yes, after Red Hood got canceled GFM stated somewhere (an interview IIRC) that the horror book they were on was most likely canned as a result
>>150748487I see Swamp Thing, the Tynion book, and 100 Bullets selling the best
>>150748759Condon is goodHe's just not the best at capeshit
>>150748718Of course you would fall for the writer who writes specifically with the intention of his comics getting reposted on r/comics.
>>150748523>>150748532interested>>150748542what was the original about>>150748550interested in this too, apparently the original was his own Patreon book
>>150748798I'm easily amused. If its a simple, goofy idea like "Justice League but dinosaurs" or "Godzilla fights the Power Rangers" I'm satisfied.
>>150748654It's not that "tv pitches" are a necessary evil. The problem is none of the comics are written to actually sell as comic books. It's fine if one or two are some retards lame movie script but when its ALL of them, you have a problem.It's like trying to build a wrestling division then putting your belt on David Arquette. It doesn't work.On that note: What is the crown jewel of this vertigo relaunch? 100 Bullets coming back...
>>150748820
>>150748759Condon started off doing Image books that were essentially Vertigo-esque and with the son of Sean Phillips. I think you must be only familiar with his capeshit work>>150748718>le heckin epic dinosaurs and zombies!Of course you'd lap such 2000s era drivel up
>>150748828I would read a Vince Russo comic
>>150748791Based on what?>>150748836The two Image series I looked over sound uninspired.
>>150748487>James Tynion IV FIND NEW TALENT.
>>150748718>>150748820>mindbreaks the modern /co/ntrarian with his childlike, Golden Age spiritI kneel
>>150748867Anon where have you been, DC is a constant cycle of Snyder, Taylor, King, Tynion, Lemire over and over again and has been for the past decade
>>150748867>>150748879we just ignoring the other guys there?
>>150748861I liked The Enfield Gang Massacre
>>150748904Of course, you can’t enjoy things. You have to complain!
>>150748618>Sigh, hey faggots, you do know Vertigo was originally a HORROR imprint right? Every other indie book is doing horror these days, gotta do something new>>150748759>I would have liked more fresh names in the industryDefine your idea of "fresh name", if anything Condon is the freshest one on the list since he has been writing since 2020
>>150748904No there's plenty and I like some of the writers I listed, I'm just surprised that the one anon is shocked that DC is continuing to use their favorite writers over and over again
>>150748867Don't worry man, James Tynion V is right around the corner.
>>150749020Sorry anon, but Ram VI killed him
>>150748574This will most likely become a film soon.
>>150748523>describes it as “John Wicksnore
These don't look very good.
I just want a new Death of the Endless one shot or mini. But I guess new Sandman stuff ain't happening anytime soon (or ever)
>>150749666Some do.
>>150748487what exactly is vertigo about these titles? any of these could easily be published by image.
>>150750101Even ignoring how Todd Won, that ship sailed years ago. Remember the "Sandman Universe" imprint that was allegedly run by Gaiman? It fucking failed.The Gayman was given control and a blank check. If that didn't get you a new Death series, nothing will.
>>150748644Shitting on Christianity has zero chance of ever being good
All of this looks like the drizzling shits
>>150748602Tom Taylor gets the chance to write a wholly original comic with no restrictions and this is what he writes.Fucking 60 IQ retarded faggot.
>>150750215What a Chad
>>150748487>no hellblazerWell after that awful black label title, and becoming "joker" to zatanna and that short lived sandman universe run.I can't blame DC anymore.
Jesus fuck they’re bringing it back again? Last time was utterly retarded woke trash.
>>150748487Slate looks okay
>>150748618>>150750588>HellblazerRefer to this chart given at the conBlack Label is for DC characters onlyVertigo is for everything else
>>150750588John's been raped too many times. The amount of rectal damage ensures he'll be bound to a wheelchair, shitting in a diaper for the rest of his days. And anus that thoroughly destroyed cannot carry an ongoing series. He can't even handle a one-shot after that "My Black Son" nonsense.
>>150750684>Hellblazer will forever be neutered capeshit nonsenseThe raping of John Constantine continues.
>>150750518Super telling how every other book is a full sentence pitch and the Taylor book is "got dinosaurs"Just nothing going on up there, but he's great at advertising to the low attention span generation
>>150748613
>black label is for DC characters>black label isn't canon (hurr everything is canon)They really missed the opportunity to capitalize off the success of Absolute and Ultimate by making Vertigo a similar line with Hellblazer, Swamp Thing, Doom Patrol, and Animal Man books that connect with each other.
>>150748574i shall consoom whatever the fuck spurrier/bergara and/or campbell put out.
>>150749052I'm curious, what makes you say that, anon? Is just because of the plot? Has any of Spurrier's work ever been adapted? I'm not counting Legion as an adaptation of X-Men Legacy, as he was never credited for any of it
>>150751960What happened with that DSTLRY book Spurrier and Bergara were supposed to put out?
>>150752031afaik, all dstlry solicits were canceled around april, they're resoliciting them again atm, but no announcement of when it's coming out just yet
>>150750129None do.
Grim.
>>150748574Calling it now, they are all dead and it's a River Styx kinda thing.
>>150750588>becoming "joker" to zatannaExplain?
>>150750446Rick Veitch Swamp Thing is pro Jesus though from what I saw of the original script, it's very respectful
>>150748563>>150748511>>150748574These sound fun. Who is Grace Ellis?>>150748602This sounds like about what I'd expect from Tom Taylor. Might actually be fun if he puts in some effort and leans into dino-lore. Like, Marvel Zombies but with different dinosaurs.
>>150750446Preacher is great.
>>150750588>I can't blame DC anymore.They're exactly the ones to blame.
But why?
