Just when you thought Vertigo Comics was at it’s end, they drop these bombs on us. Vertigo just revealed twelve new series lined up for fall releases. Each week from October to December a new series hit stores. Here’s the list with release months:
October:
– “The Twilight Children” #1 by Gilbert Hernandez and Darwyn Cooke
– “Survivor’s Club” #1 by Lauren Beukes, Dale Halvorsen and Ryan Kelly
– “Clean Room” #1 by Gail Simone and Jon Davis-Hunt
– “Art Ops” #1 by Shaun Simon and Michael Allred
November:
– “Unfollow” #1 by Rob Williams and Mike Dowling
– “Slash & Burn” #1 by Si Spencer, Max Dunbar and Ande Parks
– “Red Thorn” #1 by David Baillie and Meghan Hetrick
– “Jacked” #1 by Eric Kripke and John Higgins
December:
– “Sheriff of Baghdad” #1 by Tom King and Mitch Gerads
– “New Romancer #1 by Peter Milligan and Brett Parson
– “Lucifer” #1 by Holly Black and Lee Garbett
– “Last Gang in Town” #1 by Simon Oliver and Rufus Dayglo
“Lucifer” is making a comeback thanks to the upcoming FOX show. It’ll be interesting to see how much influence that has on the story for this series. There’s a nice mix of veteran and newer creators here with different genres being represented. There seems to be a little something for everyone here which is a great for Vertigo since they were all but counted out thanks to the rise of Image Comics over the last couple of years. Vertigo has put out some of the most prolific series of all time and it’s nice to see that they’re doing a changing of the guard in a sense with “Fables” ending. Obviously the big story here is that Gilbert Hernandez and Darwyn Cooke are doing a series together. Even if this is a miniseries it’s still the most exciting thing to happen at SDCC so far.
Head on over to CBR to see full cover images for all of these titles.
