Welcome back to The Rundown, our daily breakdown on comic news stories we missed from the previous day. Have a link to share? Email our team at rundown@multiversitycomics.com.
– So, this isn’t exactly unexpected, but is still a bit of a bummer: Shelly Bond has left Vertigo, and the entire imprint is being ‘restructured.’ Now, all of this is still very much unclear, but it appears that Gerard Way’s “Young Animal” imprint might take over the traditional Vertigo place, leaving Vertigo to be…I have no idea. There will be more on this in the coming days, I’m sure.
Update: It appears clear now that Bond was let go, which makes the situation much, much worse. There’s a lot of rumors/hearsay going around about who will wind up taking advantage of this power vacuum, but we are preparing a big piece of Vertigo for early next week that will dive in a little deeper.
– Brian K. Vaughan and Marcos Martin have launched a new Panel Syndicate book – sort of. Essentially, they have created a story set in the world of the “Walking Dead,” but set in Europe. You can pick it up here, and I recommend that you do.
– Marvel released a trailer for “Civil War II,” because why not?
– Rumor has it that X-23 will be making her film debut in Wolverine 3, to the delight of someone, I’m sure.
– The Deadpool Blu-Ray has a number of special features but, most interestingly, a commentary by co-creator Rob Liefeld. Now I regret bringing in my own snacks to the theater in all my pouches.
– If you’re anything like me, you want more Cisco on The Flash. Well, there’s now a webseries for both of us!
– Skottie Young is leaving “Rocket Raccoon and Groot,” but teases more Marvel work in the future.
– And, finally, here are 26 covers to “Betty and Veronica” #1.
