SDCC 2012: Vertigo: Fables

Sat, 07/14/2012 - 6:39pm | dce_publisher

If you’re a Fables fan, 2012 is proving to be a great year with an exciting Toyland-set storyline and the launch of Fairest, the well-received Fables spinoff that focuses on some of the feisty female residents of Fabletown. A great year deserves a great Fables panel, so once again we’ve assembled the talent behind the multi-Eisner Award winning Vertigo series to discuss what’s next for Fables and Fairest. It’s bound to be legendary.

 

Sitting alongside moderator John Cunningham on the room 6DE stage is a colorful crew of panelist that include series writer and creator Bill Willingham, group editor Shelly Bond, and artists Mark Buckingham, Lauren Beukes and Steve Leialoha.

 

It’s a fair bet that their discussion is going to be anything but mundane, and you can follow it all as it unfolds below:

SDCC 2012: Vertigo: Get Jiro!

Fri, 07/13/2012 - 5:05pm | dce_publisher

In a future where master chefs control the city like crime lords and diners will literally kill for a seat at the best restaurants, one renegade sushi chef will ignite a war between kitchens that will leave far more than discarded seafood in its wake. GET JIRO! is a stylized send-up of modern food culture that could only come from the mind of Anthony Bourdain, the New York Times bestselling author and star of TV’s “No Reservations” and “The Layover.” Released earlier this month to great acclaim, Get Jiro! is an original graphic novel co-written by Joel Rose and drawn by Langdon Foss.

 

Gathered together in room 6DE, moderator John Cunningham along with Anthony Bourdain, Langdon Foss and Vertigo Senior VP – Executive Editor Karen Berger are all set to discuss this remarkable project and answer questions from the audience.

 

If you’ve read the graphic novel, you understand why we’re hoping no one asks them for a California Roll. But if anyone does, you’ll be the first to know as we bring the panel to you live:

Vertigo: A View From the Cutting Edge of Comics

Thu, 07/12/2012 - 5:29pm | dce_publisher

For close to twenty years, Vertigo has been home to some of the most imaginative and original comic book storytelling in print. It’s quite a legacy, but with ongoing titles like Fables, American Vampire and The Unwritten and new favorites like Fairest and Punk Rock Jesus, Vertigo’s current stable of writers and artists seem more than up to the task. Whether you’re a relatively new Vertigo fan, or have been with the publisher since the very first issue of Sandman, you’re not going to want to miss this look at where Vertigo will be taking us over the months ahead. And Sandman fans may want to pay particularly close attention…

 

Joining moderator John Cunningham in room 6DE are Senior VP – Executive Editor Karen Berger, editors Shelly Bond and Will Dennis, Scott Snyder (American Vampire), Rafael Albuquerque (American Vampire), Bill Willingham (Fables, Fairest), Mark Buckingham (Fables), Jeff Lemire (Sweet Tooth), Mike Carey (The Unwritten), Sean Murphy (Punk Rock Jesus), Mike Allred (iZombie), Dustin Nguyen (American Vampire: Lord of Nightmares) and more.

 

We’re closing out Thursday with a lively evening discussion and a few big announcements. And you can follow it all below:
