Al Ewing breaks DC.

[O Lucky Stevie!]

Sadly not with a Major Event entitled The Infinite Ronnies (that would be appropos for Marvel  ) but as part of an impressive list of contributors to the latest Vertigo anothology.

Erm.... I'm not seeing Al's name anywhere here.

[Colin YNWA]

Yeah am I being dense here but I'm not seeing Mr Ewing on that list or on the linkie?

I just checked, Ewing's definitely in the Previews Catalog listing.

Frankly I would have bought it just for Joe Kubert, Paul Pope, and Rufus Dayglo. So Mr. Ewing is just icing on that sweet cake.



Though we were promised a Paul Pope comic in the last Vertigo Anthology (I want to say... Mystery in Space?) and we didn't get it. So the line up is clearly subject to change.

So farewell then Droid E-Wing...

[Zarjazzer]

No! Don't let them take him away and turn him into anything unnatural.

[Professor Bear]

It was great having Al here, wasn't it?  Now he's in the door at DC, pretty much all he has to do is not punch anyone and wait until they fire everyone else writing books - or everyone else quits - and he'll get a go on something sooner or later.  If current DC is any indicator, I give that roughly seven months.

Well done, Al!
