After an interminably long time (two years, to be precise), Neil Gaiman's and J.H. Williams III's Sandman: Overture is finally coming to an end.  Issue #6, currently scheduled for release on September 30th, will wrap up the...

Earlier this week, I took an in depth look at the claims The Wake illustrator Sean Murphy made in an interview with David Harper of SKTCHD.  Currently, Vertigo only has seven ongoing titles including the rapidly concluding Sandman:...

In the debut issue of Sktchd.com's Off Panel podcast interview series, David Harper sat down with Sean Gordon Murphy, prolific illustrator of titles including The Wake and Hellblazer: City of Angels. Recently, he collaborated with Mark Millar on Chrononauts, a time-hopping action miniseries that was optioned for a movie deal before the release of its first issue. While Murphy is known as one of the most talented artists in comics, he's also one of the most brutally honest, and this podcast is full of truth bombs about the harsh realities of working in comics.

It seems fitting that Fables: The Wolf Among Us is Vertigo's "first ever digital-first series" according to the publisher's website. If you can parse that distinction, meaning Vertigo has never before released a comic series in digital format prior to it's print debut, it makes a strange sort of sense that they chose this particular series to hold the title of first-ever first digital. Fables: The Wolf Among Us #1 is a comic series based on the popular Telltale video game series of the same name, which was itself based on the 14-time Eisner award winning series from creator Bill Willingham.

  When NBC's take on DC/Vertigo's chain-smoking anti-hero struggled in the ratings, the network halted production on Constantine after 13 episodes. Middling critical response and a terrible time-slot (Friday nights at 10 pm) didn't help its...
