Yesterday, on Vertigo’s Graphic Content blog and at NYCC it was announced that Vertigo Comics was going to go same-day digital on all of their books by January 18th of 2012. They’ll be rolling out each and every book over that time period starting with Jeff Lemire’s Sweet Tooth, and each and every book will sell at the book’s cover price (meaning they will all be $2.99).
The only books that I could see that weren’t rolling out same-day digital? Jason Aaron and R.M. Guera’s Scalped and Brian Wood’s two Vertigo books: Northlanders and DMZ. The reasons why are fairly apparent – all three of those books are ending sooner rather than later.
The list is below, along with their dates of release on digital.
- SWEET TOOTH starting with issue #26 available now
- SPACEMAN the new mini-series by Brian Azzarello and artist Eduardo Risso will launch with issue #1 on sale Oct. 26. This exciting new series featuring award-winning talent will be available for a special price of $.99 — a first for digital pricing that makes this series a “can’t miss” event.
