Django Unchained #1 is out right now. I'm pretty sure the entire adaption will be through before it comes out here in New Zealand. I'm kinda worried I wont have the self control to wait.
Anyone buying it? Wanna review how it works as an issue?

edit: I thought Quentin was gonna script it himself. This is a pretty easy miss then.

Hey, one out of seven ain't bad. Actually I don't recognize anybody outside of Simone, Francavilla, Cloonan, and Rucka. How are the other guys?

Jeff Lemire rules. Check out Sweet Tooth and Animal Man (especially the first trade.) He's illustrated some really nice short stories in previous Vertigo anthologies (Mysteries in Space, Ghosts, Time Warp)
Fawkes writes Justice League Dark and Constantine with Lemire which I think are pretty decent.

edit: Check out Lemire's recent $1 digital Superman comic. It's super sweet.

His Essex County is very reminiscent of this. Just transpose in hockey for Superman.

What's specifically Hellblazer style? One of the books literally says in the description "This is a series full of magic, madness and murder."
A handful of new works isn't bad after the last year propped up on a couple of movie adaptations.

Anyone know much about Caitlin Kittredge? From Wikipedia her adult novels are werewolf related, and her y.a. books are steampunk/H.P Lovecraft. It all sounds a little naff, but I haven't actually read anything :shrug:

e: It's neat they have a woman in her 20's writing something, regardless.

Just picked up the new Dead Boy Detectives collection that came out today on Comixology. There's a mis-print in the description of it being issues 1-7, when it really has the parts from the recent Vert anthologies and 1-6, but at $10 is a nice saving on getting all of that individually

I've just read the first (only?) issue of Sandman that featured them. I assume I'm good for this?

quote:

Based upon the characters created by Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg for DC Entertainment’s Vertigo imprint, LUCIFER is the story of the original fallen angel. Bored and unhappy as the Lord of Hell, LUCIFER MORNINGSTAR (Tom Ellis, “Merlin”) has abandoned his throne and retired to L.A., where he owns Lux, an upscale nightclub.

Charming, charismatic and devilishly handsome, Lucifer is enjoying his retirement, indulging in a few of his favorite things – wine, women and song – when a beautiful pop star is brutally murdered outside of Lux. For the first time in roughly 10 billion years, he feels something awaken deep within him as a result of this murder. Compassion? Sympathy? The very thought disturbs him – as well as his best friend and confidante, MAZIKEEN aka MAZE (Lesley-Ann Brandt, “The Librarians”), a fierce demon in the form of a beautiful young woman.

The murder attracts the attention of LAPD homicide detective CHLOE DANCER (Lauren German, “Chicago Fire”), who initially is dismissive of Lucifer. But she becomes intrigued by his talent for drawing out people’s secrets and his desire to dispense justice, doling out punishment to those who deserve it. As they work together to solve the pop star’s murder, Lucifer is struck by Chloe’s inherent goodness. Accustomed to dealing with the absolute worst of humanity, Lucifer is intrigued by Chloe’s apparent purity and begins to wonder if there’s hope for his own soul yet.

At the same time, God’s emissary, the angel AMENADIEL (DB Woodside, “Suits,” “24”), has been sent to Los Angeles to convince Lucifer to return to the underworld…can the Devil incarnate be tempted toward the side of Good, or will his original calling pull him back toward Evil?

Ha!

SDCC: Vertigo Adds 12 New Titles to Its Fall Lineup
http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/sdcc-vertigo-adds-12-new-titles-to-its-fall-lineup

quote:

In addition to continuing series "American Vampire," "Astro City" and"Suiciders," DC Comics' creator-driven imprint Vertigo will launch twelve new titles from both Vertigo veterans and creators new to the line, including Darwyn Cooke, Gilbert Hernandez, Mike Allred, Holly Black, Lauren Beukes and Gail Simone. At their Comic-Con International panel on Thursday, Vertigo announced the titles and creative teams for the series, which will debut over a three-month period starting in October.

"This is a groundbreaking rollout for Vertigo and all 12 new titles represent the imprint at its core: smart and irreverent stories that will take you someplace stranger," stated Shelly Bond, executive editor of Vertigo. "I can't be more excited about the diversity of projects and creative teams we have lined up, from Vertigo veterans to a powerhouse of new voices and rising art stars."

October will see the launch of "The Twilight Children" #1 by Gilbert Hernandez and Darwyn Cooke; "Survivors' Club" #1 by Lauren Beukes, Dale Halvorsen and Ryan Kelly; "Clean Room #1" by Gail Simone and Jon Davis-Hunt; and "Art Ops" #1 by Shaun Simon and Michael Allred.


This November, "Unfollow" #1 by Rob Williams and Mike Dowling; "Slash & Burn" #1 by Si Spencer, Max Dunbar and Ande Parks; "Red Thorn" #1 by David Baillie and Meghan Hetrick; and "Jacked" #1 by Eric Kripke and John Higgins will arrive at retailers.

In December, "Sheriff of Baghdad" #1 by Tom King and Mitch Gerads; "New Romancer #1 by Peter Milligan and Brett Parson; "Lucifer" #1 by Holly Black and Lee Garbett; and "Last Gang in Town" #1 by Simon Oliver and Rufus Dayglo will hit the shelves.


"When Shelly Bond offered me an opportunity to launch something new at Vertigo, I took that as a chance to fast talk her into collaborating with Gilbert Hernandez, one of the world's great cartoonists," Darwyn Cooke said in a press release. "'The Twilight Children' has me excited in a way I haven't felt since I started work on Parker. To enter Gilbert's world and help him bring this remarkable story to Vertigo and our readers...well, I'm gushing, it's an honor."

The panel was also set to include a farewell video from "Fables" creator Bill Willingham, with issue #150 -- the last issue of the long-running series -- set for release later this month.

He mustn't have too hard a feeling since he just launched a Vertigo comic :shrug:

I thought Last Gang in Town was a bit of a bummer. Quoting Wire lyrics in the margins turns me off rather than getting across a reverence for the setting.
