DC's Evolving Vertigo

FABLES #1 in May starts what DC Comics is calling "a new era" for its Vertigo imprint.

FABLES, a new ongoing series by Bill Willingham and a series of rotating artists starting with Lan Medina and Steve Leialoha, will sport a new trade dress for the Vertigo line.

"We have a lot of cool projects making their debuts for the rest of the year," says Karen Berger, vice-president - executive editor, Vertigo. "The new cover treatment is just one of many exciting things readers can look forward to. Besides the great items offered this month, Vertigo has upcoming projects to satisfy all kinds of comics readers."

Upcoming projects include:

THE FILTH: Ongoing series by Grant Morrison, Chris Weston and Gary Erskine. "We're keeping the lid tight on this project for now," Berger says. "But rest assured it's another brilliant new venture from the man who re-invented the JLA and NEW X-MEN and brought us THE INVISIBLES."

100%: Writer/artist Paul Pope returns with a five-issue mini-series following three young couples in a stark New York City of the future.

Y-LAST MAN: Ongoing series by Brian K. Vaughn and Pia Guerra. A mysterious virus wipes out every living thing on Earth with a Y-chromosome --- except for one man.

THE DARWIN THEORY: A three-issue mini-series by Joe Casey and Ben Templesmith. "Think X-FILES meets James Bond," Berger says.

BLOOD AND WATER: A six-issue mini-series by Judd Winick and Tomm Coker that's a vampire tale with a Vertigo twist.

FIGHT FOR TOMORROW: Writer Brian Wood joins artists Denys Cowan and Kent Williams for a six-issue mini-series of violence and retribution set in New York's Chinatown.

Vertigo collections: Look for new collections of 100 BULLETS, AMERICAN CENTURY, ANIMAL MAN, LUCIFER, THE INVISIBLES, and TRANSMETROPOLITAN. Plus, trade paperbacks of the Johnny Double and User mini-series.

Original graphic novels: THE ENDLESS NIGHTS hardcover by Neil Gaiman and various artists, including Milo Manara, Prado, Bill Sienkiewicz, P. Craig Russell, Tanino Liberatore, and Storey. ORBITER by Warren Ellis and Colleen Doran, about a mysterious space shuttle that returns to Earth 10 years late -- with only one crew member alive. Writer/artist Ty Templeton's BIGG TIME, about a loser who wants to be famous or die trying.
