Vertigo panel roundup: The Pulse has news from the second Vertigo panel, including preview art from Jill Thompson's upcoming Deadboy Detectives (above). Other panel highlights include:
* Brian Azzarello has signed a three-year exclusive deal with DC, and is working with Marcelo Fusin on a Western called Loveless.
* Mike Carey and Leonardo Manco will produce a Hellblazer original graphic novel called Hellblazer: All His Engines, which will try to bridge the gap between the movie and the comic series. (Carey talks more about the project at Comic Book Resources.)
* It appears that 2005 will be the year of the OGN at Vertigo, as Pride by Brian K. Vaughan and Niko Henrichon also was announced. According to The Pulse, "the story concerns a zoo in the middle of a war zone whose occupants suddenly find themselves free in war-torn Iraq."
* A Fables original graphic novel, called 1001 Nights of Snowfall, also is planned, with Charles Vess and other artists tapped to draw.
* Gary Phillips and Shawn Martinbrough are working on a five-part miniseries called Angeltown. (For more, visit Comic Book Resources.)
* Gilbert Hernandez will release an original graphic novel called Sloth, about a teen-ager "who wills himself into a coma, wakes up a year later, and is physically slower than everyone around him."
* Newsarama reports that Mike Carey and Glenn Fabry will adapt Neil Gaiman's novel, Neverwhere, as a miniseries.
