NYCC: Vertigo Envisions Its 2012 Lineup
The crowd for the Vertigo Visions panel at New York Comic Con was as mature as the comics line itself. There was nary a cosplayer in site as the dimly lit panel room was packed with comic book fans who preferred beards and cool tattoos to tights and utility belts. It still had a laid-back vibe, seeming more like all the top-notch Vertigo talent had come into your living room to share some news.
With moderator and Executive Editor of the Vertigo imprint Karen Berger running a little late, Vertigo Editor Shelly Bond stepped up to the podium and began introducing the epic panel line-up. She introduced Scott Snyder, Jason Aaron, Jeff Lemire, Douglas Rushkoff and Phil Jimenez before Berger arrived. The moderator torch was then passed, and Berger continued to introduce Chris Roberson, Rebecca Guay, Selwyn Seyfu Hinds, Marzena Sowa, Sylvain Savoia and Brian Azzarello.
After introductions were made, Berger began by announcing Vertigo will start rolling out day-and-date digital releases for their titles as new jumping on points appear.
