VERTIGO AND DC'S YOUNG ANIMAL ANNOUNCE COMPELLING NEW SERIES AT NYCC

The Vertigo/DC's Young Animal panel at New York Comic Con today brought exciting news for each of the imprints. Mark Doyle, Executive Editor overseeing these lines, spoke with some of the incredible talent behind current series and introduced new creators to the fans.

Vertigo writers John Ridley (THE AMERICAN WAY: THOSE ABOVE AND THOSE BELOW) and Tim Seeley (IMAGINARY FIENDS) shared new details about their series, while creative teams Si Spurrier & Rachael Stott and Joshua Williamson & Riley Rossmo announced their projects being released this winter.

MOTHERLANDS, from writer Si Spurrier (SUICIDE SQUAD, The Spire) and artist Rachael Stott (Sex Criminals, Star Trek/Planet of the Apes), is a sci-fi series set in a future where universe-hopping bounty hunters are the new celebrities. A spotlight-shunning hunter named Tab finds herself in a race for her greatest prize yet, but to ID her target she'll have to work with her fiercest rival and the most famous bounty hunter of all time—her mother. The six-issue series launches January 31.

DEATHBED, from writer Joshua Williamson (THE FLASH, FROSTBITE) and artist Riley Rossmo (BATMAN/THE SHADOW, CONSTANTINE: THE HELLBLAZER), follows a former adventurer turned recluse who has re-emerged 20 years later. When reporter Valentine Richards is hired to get his story, she soon finds herself in an insane world of violence and supernatural adventure. The six-issue series begins February 21.

Plus, the weird and popular DC's Young Animal imprint, curated by My Chemical Romance's frontman Gerard Way, continues to expand its list of titles and announced the remaining DC/DC's Young Animal crossover issues. DOOM PATROL artist Nick Derington discussed his work on the series, with writer Steve Orlando sharing more details for the first issue of ”Milk Wars," and new series writer Magdalene Visaggio giving an early look at her upcoming project:

”Milk Wars" will mash up DC's Young Animal with characters from the DC Universe, beginning with a JUSTICE LEAGUE/DOOM PATROL SPECIAL from Orlando and Way, followed by SHADE, THE CHANGING GIRL/WONDER WOMAN SPECIAL, MOTHER PANIC/BATMAN SPECIAL, CAVE CARSON/SWAMP THING SPECIAL and DOOM PATROL/JUSTICE LEAGUE SPECIAL. The weekly crossover adventure begins January 31.

ETERNITY GIRL, the new miniseries from Eisner and GLAAD-nominated writer Magdalene Visaggio (Kim & Kim) and Eisner award-winning artist Sonny Liew (The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye) follows Urania Blackwell, a former CIA agent who can't die. Her only solution? Destroy the universe first. This six-issues series launches March 2018 from DC's Young Animal.

I still love how Moore responded to young upstart Morrison possibly taking over his book.

Holy crap. Man, anybody who is on Moore's side on any of this stuff is crazy. The dude is insane.

Great writer, though.

HELL YEAH I'M DYING TO BUY NORTHROP GRUMMAN'S LINE OF MARVEL BRANDED PRODUCTS

I have no clue how you get through the Secret Empire backlash and go, "Yeah, this sounds like a good idea."

HELL YEAH I'M DYING TO BUY NORTHROP GRUMMAN'S LINE OF MARVEL BRANDED PRODUCTS

And just after the latest bout of mass gun violence in America.

Marvel what the fuck is wrong with you?

Yeeeeeesssssss

 

[Mistouze]

Hyped for more Young Animal stuff, the inprint's output has been great so far. "Milk Wars" as a name for the crossover is weirdly on point.

 

[Sou Da]

So there's no way that isn't a Perlmutter move right?

 

[dan2026]

So there's no way that isn't a Perlmutter move right?

I feel I know nothing about this Perlmutter other than he supports Trump and looks like a creepy supervillain.
But that's enough to make me hate him.

 

[ElNarez]

So there's no way that isn't a Perlmutter move right?

I mean, it is cashing some primo blood money checks, so, yeah, gotta be.

 

[Lashley]

Well the conclusion to the war of jokes and riddles was terrible

Whoa, Sonny Liew on Eternity Girl.

 

[RedHoodedOwl]

Well the conclusion to the war of jokes and riddles was terrible

It was a completely pointless filler arc.

 

[Village]

I have no clue how you get through the Secret Empire backlash and go, "Yeah, this sounds like a good idea."

You're the head of a company that doesn't give a shit about the contents of the sausage and just wanna make money

 

[Ross61]

Well the conclusion to the war of jokes and riddles was terrible

Really, I liked it.

 

[mreddie]

It's a Ike move

 

[Poodlestrike]

no u

What didn't you like? I thought it was brilliant.

 

[Lashley]

no u

What didn't you like? I thought it was brilliant.

I literally disliked the entire issue

The ending was nice but the world and his wife spoiled it beforehand, so...

 

[mreddie]

Link? Agent of Atlas are partly in Ant-Man 2 I think so it's all MCU pretty much if so.

Why not this?

 

[Aizo]

Milk Wars. Excellent.
Milkman Man is my favorite already.

 

[my name is ed]

HELL YEAH I'M DYING TO BUY NORTHROP GRUMMAN'S LINE OF MARVEL BRANDED PRODUCTS

Yuck

 

[Poodlestrike]

I have no clue how you get through the Secret Empire backlash and go, "Yeah, this sounds like a good idea."

Because they have no idea why Secret Empire failed because they're completely incapable of listening.

It was a completely pointless filler arc.

What does this even mean in a book without a singular overarching meta-plot? Filler for what?

I literally disliked the entire issue

The ending was nice but the world and his wife spoiled it beforehand, so...

Huh, I loved it. Riddler's motivation for actually doing all this was a fun touch, and Batman's secret being what it was seems like one of the very few ways it could've played out believably.

 

[Lashley]

I dunno just didn’t like him

Two new Dark Matter/New Ages of Heroes books announced.

THE UNEXPECTED from Steve Orlando, [No other information provided]



"It's a team of enemies that hate each other only slightly less than the world around them. It's DARK TOWER meets SEVEN SAMURAI."



"They get a chance to right the wrongs in their lives."

DARK KNIGHTS RISING - THE WILD HUNT w/ Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV, Josh Williamson, Doug Mahnke, and Ivan Reis on 7 FEB.

Snyder then spoke about a number of elements that they were not able to get to in METAL and bring it out in this series. They have characters like Cyborg and Detective Chimp who are chased all across the Dark Multiverse by the Dark Knights.

 

[ElNarez]

Yuck

boy if you feel queasy now get ready to fucking barf your guts out

 

[Aizo]

So I'm finally all caught up on Teen Titans, Titans, and Deathstroke. Deathstroke is interesting with every issue, because there's always information that's unknown—new mysteries to uncover. I'm pretty confused about what's going on with the Hmong gangs and the grocer. Teen Titans and Titans are serviceable. I like the direction that Titans is going. I'm unsure about what to expect about Teen Titans. I'd like to have Damian take a role outside of leadership.

 

[Einchy]

What the fuck is Marvel doing? Jesus christ.

 

[Ross61]

Brimstone by Justin Jordan and Phillip Tan (Dark Matter/New Age of Heroes)

Grant Morrison is on #7-#10 of Sideways. Seven Soldier of Victory will also appear in the title.

 

[Sandfox]

Based on comments by Ryan Higgins and Big Bang It would seem as though Marvel provided "good news" regarding variant cover complaints.

Two new Dark Matter/New Ages of Heroes books announced.

DC is launching a ton of stuff without anything really ending. I wonder when we'll start seeing some of the current stuff end.

Neither did he, that was the point.

Guessing they’ll get free covers/next lenticulars are supposed to be ”fixed”

Brimstone looks awesome! Im really liking these new books accept for maybe 1 or 2. Sideways looks really cool but not sure how I feel about Didio on writting duties lol.

Link doesnt seem to be working for me atm.

Picked up the new XO trade and Battle Chasers during the CMX sale.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Lego Marvel 2 hinted the X Man? Who is that?

Runaways, Champions, Cloak and Dagger, movies, Agents of Atlas part of the season pass.

X-Man like in Franklins Richards or X-Men with a typo?

Guys, guys, I saw a Fantastic Four toy in the figures thread. I somehow felt into the timestream where Ike is not insane.

A. It's a joke
B. That last line...ummmmm. You just got here right?

 

[Donniewahlberg]

Oh. Like The Dark Tower you say....in for that and Brimstone. The new Young Animal & Vertigo stuff too, great teams.

 

[tim1138]

That new Steve Orlando book has Ryan Sook on art.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

B. That last line...ummmmm. You just got here right?

Havent seen the Northstrom Post when I wrote that and forgot about his connections.

He is still insane.

 

[Vic_Viper]

Was anything announced at the Marvel House of Ideas panel lol? Newsarma's live feed doesnt show everything atm.

Also when is the X-Men panel tonight?

In two hours.

Um, instant buy? DC really is killing it. At first I was just interested in a few. Now I might try them all.

Cary Nord is also on the second arc of Damage.

 

[LordOfLore]

How to get a job at Marvel(or know TNC)

 

[Serpentine]

YA/Vertigo announcements are dope

Legion will be written by Peter Milligan with art by Wilfredo Torres, while Rogue & Gambit will be written by Kelly Thompson with art by Pere Perez and covers by Kris Anka.

R&G sounds good but I prefer comics publishers that don't partner up with war profiteers!

No shit. Actively doing straight up recruitment for them, for me, is a bit much

 

[ElNarez]

Ads are nothing new, but there's a difference between when they're paid for by cakes and when they're paid for by blood money.

 

[8bit]

Legion will be written by Peter Milligan with art by Wilfredo Torres, while Rogue & Gambit will be written by Kelly Thompson with art by Pere Perez and covers by Kris Anka.

Oh man, Milligan on legion could be amazing. Fingers crossed.

 

[Duress]

Picked up Walt Simonson's Thor and JSA Vol. 3 Omnibuses. Wow! They're heavy.

 

[LordOfLore]

Gotta love Porter's work:

 

[mreddie]

No shit. Actively doing straight up recruitment for them, for me, is a bit much

Yeah, it's fucked up. Sadly, this is the world we live in now.

I'm seeing this as the straw breaking moment for some. I can't see people speaking out and keeping a job because Ike is petty as fuck.

Kieran Shiach already announced he's boycotting Marvel till the deal is gone.

 

[LordOfLore]

Probably a good idea to pick some other name than Dark Matter, yes.

Edit: Marvel has really messed up.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Spoiler alert: All business hook up with assholes

I... don't think that's a very good defense for this
