I.N.J. Culbard/Vertigo/DC Comics Vertigo Comic fans got a glimpse of the future - which includes an adaptation of "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," a graphic novel by chef Anthony Bourdain and a 10th anniversary "Fables" collection - during the publisher's Friday evening panel at WonderCon. Editor Will Dennis, writer Scott Snyder and artist Dennis Nguyen spoke during the panel for Vertigo - the edgy-spirited imprint of DC Comics - highlighting a slate of comics, including "Fables," "The New Deadwardians," "Saucer Country," "Voodoo Child," "American Vampire," "American Vampire: Lord of Nightmares," "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," "Get Jiro," "Sweet Tooth" and "Scalped." Vertigo's graphic novel adaptation of Stieg Larsson's bestselling novel "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo." The "Dragon Tattoo" book, adapted by Scottish crime author Denise Mina from Stieg Larsson's bookshelf sensation, is slated for a November release and will be the first in a set of six - two graphic novels for each book in the original trilogy. "It's an adaptation," Dennis said. They've given [Mina] license to change dialogue and trim stuff as if they were writing a movie script. Mina, whose stint writing "Hellblazer" took John Constantine to Scotland, is the perfect fit to write the "Dragon Tattoo" adaptation, Dennis said, especially when it comes to handling sensitive material, such as the notorious rape scenes. "[Mina's books are] very good, strong, visceral books, and in that respect, I feel she's very ripe for this," Dennis said. She's handled things in a very delicate yet visceral way. I think she's really like a perfect person for this gig. The panel also focused on the future of Scott Snyder's celebrated "American Vampire" - the Eisner Award-winning series, created by Snyder and artist Rafael Albuquerque. Issue #28, which hits stores June 27, marks the beginning of a new story arc for the series, called "The Blacklist," set in 1950s Hollywood. "Something terrible happens to Henry, and Pearl has to go out and decide whether she's going to avenge him, teamed with Skinner Sweet," Snyder said. It's literally my favorite thing I've done. ... I'm just super proud of it. Flip through the gallery above for a look at some of the other Vertigo titles spotlighted during the panel.
