Wrapping up their WizardWorld LA programming weekend, DC held their Outside the Universe – Vertigo and Wildstorm panel Sunday afternoon, attended by creators Joshua Dysart, Bill Willingham, Marcia Chen, Joe Benitez and Tim Bradstreet, Vertigo editor Jon Vankin, Wildstorm editors Ben Abernathy and Alex Sinclair, and DC VP - Sales and Marketing Bob Wayne.
A defective slide projector put a crimp on the usual DC mix of slide-show presentation featuring some new and some previously announced projects followed by fan/creator Q&A, which led to the panel turning to Q&A a little sooner.
- Perhaps the biggest news of the hour came was it was announced writer Mike Carey would be leaving Hellblazer after nearly 3 ½ years and 41 issues. Beginning with issue #216, author Denise Mina takes over as series writer for the “foreseeable future”.
Mina is a Glasgow-based Scottish crime novelist who has written five books, (including her newest Field of Blood). Her Hellblazer story arc will in fact take John Constantine to Glasgow.
Though a crime novelist, Vankin said Mina will not shy away from the supernatural elements of the series and that he first story is in fact heavy in the supernatural department.
There will be special guest artists during her run, and the panel strongly hinted attending artist Tim Bradstreet would contribute some interior art.
- DC showed preview art of Brian Azzarello and Hellblazer artist Marcelo Frusin’s upcoming new Western ongoing Loveless (image above), set to debut later this year.
- Jill Thompson’s second original manga story Dead Boy Detectives debuts in July. A mystery spinning out of The Sandman: Season Of Mists, it’s about Edwin Paine and Charles Rowland, two dead British teens that run a makeshift detective agency that travel across the pond to the States. It guest-stars the always-popular Death.
- Fable’s writer Bill Willingham was asked if the series would move beyond the more traditional fairy tale characters American readers know. Willingham said after the current story arc with Little Boy Blue that will reveal the Adversary, the following arc will detail what happens when the non-European Fables coming fleeing out of the homeland.
Willingham explained the Adversary is conquering the whole of the homeland, but like the Roman conquest of the world, it takes some time, and the European Fables we’re all familiar with were the first to flee. He promised quite a culture clash when Fables from around the rest of the world come out and try to fit in with our world/Fabletown.
Willingham also said there are more Fables side projects in the vein of The Last Castle from last year in the works. A new graphic novel will flash back to a time when the Fabletown people hatched a plan to enlist allies before realizing the battle with the Adversary was already lost.
He said in that story readers will also see lots of different Fables from other cultures and guest-stars.
- Asked if the Vertigo line would be expanding, Vankin said Vertigo is looking to push the envelope to find and reach out to readers who might not necessarily attend comics conventions or even currently read comics. In that vein, fans will continue to see more genre-type projects coming from the imprint, but also lots of “high-quality, non-genre,” projects with “wide appeal”, such as the new Harvey Pekar OGN.
- There will be more Grant Morrison Doom Patrol trades if the sales are solid on the first two volumes.
- In 100 Bullets, Brian Azzarello, Eduardo Risso and cover artist Dave Johnson will continue to follow the deadly conflict between the Minutemen and the Trust. In July’s 100 Bullets #62, “the deadly but beautiful Megan Dietrich runs afoul of Cole Burns and Benito Medici in a love triangle that can only end badly.”
- Vankin said he’s real happy with the real “Alan Moore/EC Comics vibe” Josh Dysart has brought back to Swamp Thing. Enrique Breccia will return as the series regular artist, though future guest artists include Richard Corben.
- A new Ex Machina collected edition is due in September.
- Speaking of Wildstorm Signature, Ben Abernathy said there are more Signature projects coming, as well as more projects set in the Wildstorm Universe, and they are looking forward to seeing the Universe move back to the forefront of comic book universes.
Abernathy didn’t say anything specific but did hint that they were working towards the relaunch of Wildcats, Gen-13 and others, including The Authority after the current Authority: Revolution series concludes.
- On that note there are no plans for any other creators to pick up on projects Ed Brubaker was associated with - like Sleeper - after their conclusion.
- Alex Sinclair said Mike Carey and Whilce Portacio are still working together and they’re trying to get to the point where they can put Wetworks back on the schedule.
- Writer John Ridley’s The Authority: Human on the Inside with art by Ben Oliver will come out in softcover this year, and Wildstorm hopes to do more with the very busy Ridley after the completion of his The Razor’s Edge: Warblade series, and that the two sides are talking.
- The trade paperback collection of Terra Obscura: Vol. 2 will be out in September. There are no plans for a third volume.
- Anyone remember The Wintermen? The Vertigo project by writer Brett Lewis and artist John Paul Leon announced a few years back is back on the schedule as a Wildstorm release for August.
The Wintermen tells the tale of fallen Russian super-soldiers and what happened to them after the Soviet Union crumbled. A Google search will probably land interested readers more info.
Wraithborn is a new 6-issue limited series written by Marcia Chen with art by Joe Benitez & Joe Weems launching in September.
A supernatural action-adventure, the story is about the Wraithborn, wielders of a mysterious power who defend humanity from supernatural beings called Wraiths. The series stars Valin, a young man who trained his whole life to be a Wraithborn, who finds that his powers have been given to a timid teenage girl named Melanie who doesn’t know how to be a hero and doesn’t necessarily want to be one. A powerless Valin is now forced to protect the super-powered Melanie from the Wraiths.
