Eve L. Ewing says a group of new mutants from Exceptional X-Men might be looking for new leadership in the aftermath of Age of Revelation... "So there's some new things coming. All the folks that you've known and loved in Exceptional, you'll see new stuff coming around,"

Mmmmm yeah I saw that too. In her defense, she didn’t make that photo with all of the male creators (I saw it on Twitter previously), but that doesn’t make it okay either!!

Sam Erin 🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ @hearts530.bsky.social · 1d

Omg WHAT REALLY? That’s so good!!! (Also it was so good to meet you and I’ll see you again tomorrow!!)

I gotta say, it's a bit rich relaunching Vertigo, "Comics! They're not just for kids!", after being lily livered cowards who hurled a trans writer under the bus for making a Kirk joke.

It is not. I think it’s because Vertigo is going to be new creator owned books/characters and Black Label is for established and company owned characters

Just announced at NYCC! A new Vertigo series from Grace and I about fandom, obsession... and parasocial chaos :)

the cover for Fanatic, a new series from DC vertigo by Hannah Templer and Grace Ellis. The cover depicts a woman cast half in shadow, looking back over her shoulder in a look of surprise as she is caught holding a shovel and wearing a tattered costume in a wooded area. The colors are in two tones of blue and red

While I’m having a good time at the comic panels today, it’s been an absolute SAUSAGE FEST. Like don’t get me wrong, I’m a guy, especially a white guy, but um. It’s pretty bleak when there’s only one non-man on a panel.
