COLLIDER and TRILLIUM art revealed at WonderCon Anaheim

Fri, 03/29/2013 - 1:00pm | Pamela Mullin

Today, on the DC Entertainment—All Access panel at WonderCon Anaheim art from two of Vertigo’s new mind bending sci-fi comic book series were debuted.

Launching this July, COLLIDER is a new ongoing series by Simon Oliver and artist Robbi Rodriguez that takes the laws of physics, the constants we all know, and twists them up side down into a reality that is completely unpredictable.

Check out the cover of issue #1, by Nathan Fox, in the gallery above.

Following the conclusion of Jeff Lemire’s acclaimed series SWEET TOOTH, he returns to Vertigo this summer as writer/artist of the new limited series TRILLIUM. Bound to be one of Lemire’s most ambitious stories yet, at its core, it’s a love story about two disparate souls separated by thousands of years and hundreds of millions of miles.

Check out the promo image by Lemire, in the gallery above.

Get ready to be captivated.

Vertigo announces new ongoing series COLLIDER

Fri, 04/20/2012 - 10:27am | Pamela Mullin

At C2E2 Vertigo announced a new ongoing series, COLLIDER.

Wormholes in your kitchen, gravity failures at school, quantum tornadoes tearing through the mid-west…like with all natural disasters, people do what they always do—they adapt and survive.

And if things get really bad, the Federal Bureau of Physics (FBP) is only a call away.

This Fall Vertigo brings you COLLIDER, a new ongoing series written by Simon Oliver (Gen¹³) with art by Vertigo newcomer, Robbi Rodriguez.

COLLIDER is the story of ADAM HARDY: young, brash and smart, he’s a rising star at the FBP, but when a gravity failure leads to the creation of an alternate dimension known as a "BubbleVerse," Adam is sent on a rescue mission and finds his skills and abilities pushed to their limits when he discovers his partner has a different agenda…

BLASTR revealed the exclusive first look at some promo art and NEWSARAMA caught up with Simon to discuss the new comic book.

Graphic Connection: NOCHE ROJA

Thu, 02/24/2011 - 10:45am | DCE Editorial

In the tradition of Chinatown and L.A. Confidential, writer Simon Oliver explores a hidden world of corruption where money, sex, politics and crime all add up to the same thing.

In the desert just south of the border, young women are turning up murdered. No suspects. No clues. And authorities seem uninterested in uncovering any. When ex-private eye Jack Cohen is hired to find one missing girl, he is drawn back into the shadow world between North and South. And there, he must face the terrible tragedy in his past that he's been running from all these years. Featuring the gritty, stylized artwork of Jason Latour, NOCHE ROJA is a gripping noir tale of how the insatiable craving for cheap consumer goods leads to the ultimate cheapening of life itself.

Read some of the great reviews that have appeared at IGN, AIN'T IT COOL NEWS, The SEATTLE TIMES, FANGORIA, Yahoo! ASSOCIATED CONTENT, and LARGEHEARTED BOY.

And find out what author Simon Oliver has to say about working on the book at NEWSARAMA.

Two new additions to Vertigo Crime

Thu, 05/06/2010 - 11:00am | DCE Editorial

Vertigo Crime has published works from the likes of authors Ian Rankin, Brian Azzarello, Jason Starr, Christos Gage and many others. Today, we add two more titles to the ever growing list of excellent crime/mystery graphic novels.

In RAT CATCHER by Andy Diggle (The Losers) and artist Victor Ibanez, an FBI agent and a notorious mob hitman become involved in a thriller with a twist that keeps the action moving and the characters playing a high stakes game of cat and mouse.

In NOCHE ROJA, a timely and explosive mystery by Simon Oliver and artist Jason Latour, the murders of young women just South of the Mexican border hide a deeper, darker corruption that retired private investigator Jack Cohen becomes determined to expose if it’s the last thing he ever does. Which it may be.

Look for RAT CATCHER and NOCHE ROJA with covers by Lee Bermejo in 2011!
