NYCC 2012: DC Comics: Batman - Death Comes to Gotham

The Night of the Owls may be over, but if anything, things are only getting darker for Gotham's guardians. Unfolding in the pages of nearly every Bat-title, "Death of the Family" promises to have Batman fans talking for months...at least when they're not turning pages nervously, perched on the edge of their seat. The Joker has returned, and tragedy may once again be in store for Bruce Wayne and his friends and allies. But when will it strike, and to whom? The only thing we know for certain is that Gotham will never be the same.

 

Seated alongside moderator John Cunningham in room 1E13 is a full team of Bat-talent ready to discuss what awaits us, including Scott Snyder (Batman), David Finch (Batman: The Dark Knight), Gregg Hurwitz (Batman: The Dark Knight), Grant Morrison (Batman, Incorporated), Kyle Higgins (Nightwing), Peter Tomasi (Batman and Robin), James Tynion IV (Talon), Scott Lobdell (Red Hood and the Outlaws) and more.

 

We're wrapping up our live panel coverage with one of the most anticipated panels of the show. And you can see exactly what's revealed below:

NYCC 2012: DC Entertainment: Meet the Co-Publishers

As Co-Publishers of DC Entertainment, Jim Lee and Dan DiDio are the driving force behind the great comics and graphic novels coming out of DC today. In this always popular panel, the two leaders invite fans to share their questions, concerns and comments with them regarding DC Comics and the great characters we all know and love. If there are questions in the audience about DC COMICS - THE NEW 52, Before Watchmen, DC Digital, original graphic novels like Batman: Earth One or anything else, they're about to get answers.

 

Moderated by Bob Wayne in room 1A21, the discussion will surely be lively and memorable. And you can follow right along with it below:

 

NYCC 2012: DC Comics: Justice League

What does it take for some of the biggest heroes in all of comics to come together? Apparently, it takes a Justice League panel.

 

What? You thought we were talking about our characters? Well, there's no doubt that Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, the Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg are all legends, but so are the creative people bringing them to life each month, and we're bringing many of them to this panel to discuss DC COMICS - THE NEW 52's Justice League, Aquaman, The Flash and Wonder Woman, as well as the highly anticipated new ongoing, Justice League of America. What tantalizing teases and heroic hints will they let slip about our favorite superteams?

 

Let's find out! Joining our fearless moderator Bob Wayne onstage in room 1E07 are editor Brian Cunningham, Geoff Johns (Justice League, Justice League of America), Jim Lee (Justice League), David Finch (Justice League of America), Francis Manapul (The Flash), Brian Buccellato (The Flash), Cliff Chiang (Wonder Woman), Joe Prado (Aquaman), Ivan Reis (Aquaman) and others. You're not going to want to miss a moment of this exciting panel, and fortunately, if you follow along below, you won't:

NYCC 2012: Vertigo - Fables 10th Anniversary

Has it really been ten years since we were first introduced to Snow White, Bigby Wolf, Rose Red and all the residents of Fabletown? It has indeed, and what a journey it's been. Through more than 120 issues, numerous graphic novels, multiple Eisner Awards and a highly-acclaimed spin-off or two, the cast of Bill Willingham's beloved fantasy series have come to feel like good friends. Fortunately, while the years have brought changes to Fables, the one thing this comic book series hasn't done is slowed down. In fact, with the success of Fairest, the upcoming original graphic novel Werewolves of the Heartland, and the recent conclusion of "Cubs in Toyland," one of the most talked-about Fables storylines in ages, this great comic is still living happily ever after.

 

Our moderating mundie John Cunningham is now being joined onstage in room 1A23 by Fables creator and writer Bill Willingham, group editor Shelly Bond, Phil Jimenez (Fairest), Matt Sturges (Fairest), Sean E. Williams (Fairest) and more. It's one panel that's sure to be legendary, and you can follow it all below:

NYCC 2012: DC Comics All Access: Before Watchmen

Powerful, smart and compelling, the seven miniseries that have comprised Before Watchmen have inspired praise, outrage, acclaim and all manner of conversation, and they're not over yet. Join us for an eye-opening discussion with a few of the men and women behind this powerhouse publishing event, and learn what's on the horizon, including the recently announced Before Watchmen: Moloch. You never know what to expect at a Before Watchmen panel, and if this one's anything like our previous panels, it'll likely have everyone talking afterwards. Just like Before Watchmen itself.

 

Joining moderator John Cunningham on the room 1E13 stage are Before Watchmen editors Mark Chiarello and Will Dennis, Brian Azzarello (Before Watchmen: Rorschach, Before Watchmen: Comedian), Lee Bermejo (Before Watchmen: Rorschach), Amanda Conner (Before Watchmen: Silk Spectre), Eduardo Risso (Before Watchmen: Moloch), Bill Sienkewicz (Before Watchmen: Nite Owl) and Len Wein (Before Watchmen: Ozymandias).

Bold. Imaginative. Unique. Sophisticated. Cutting Edge.

 

There are many words that can be used to describe Vertigo, the award-winning publisher of Fables, American Vampire, 100 Bullets and The Sandman. Soon to enter its 20th year of publishing, Vertigo remains as lively and unpredictable as it was at its inception. Whether you've been reading since the early days of Swamp Thing and Hellblazer, or have become a fan more recently through comics and graphic novels like Get Jiro! and Fairest, there's much to look forward to for Vertigo readers.

 

Joining moderator John Cunningham onstage in room 1A23 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), Dustin Nguyen (American Vampire: Lord of Nightmares), Jeff Lemire (Sweet Tooth), Brian Azzarello (Spaceman, 100 Bullets), Ryan Kelly (Saucer Country) and more.

C2E2 2012: Vertigo - New Blood

Aliens, zombies, vampires, voodoo, goblins... The world of Vertigo has always been populated by some unique and often dangerous characters, but in March the publisher introduced us to some new creatures to keep our collective eyes on with the launch of four brand new comics. Curious about how they plan to follow such a stellar month? Look for the answer here in our live CON AWAY FROM CON panel coverage.

 

For readers whose tastes lean toward the edgy and imaginative, Vertigo has long been a destination of choice. With a current lineup that includes popular, long-running classics like Fables and Hellblazer, buzz books like American Vampire and Sweet Tooth, and attention-grabbing new releases like Saucer Country and Fairest, there is much to discuss - and announce - in their panel. Sharing the stage in room S401abc and ready to spill their guts (hopefully not literally, though the panel IS called "New Blood") are Senior Editor Will Dennis, Brian Azzarello (Spaceman, 100 Bullets), Sean Murphy (American Vampire and the newly announced Punk Rock Jesus), Scott Snyder (American Vampire) and Bill Willingham (Fables, Fairest).

 

Wondering which dark corridors the Vertigo team will be leading us down this year? Follow the panel live below:
