Vertigo, the mature imprint of DC comics edited by Karen Berger announces a new crime line at the the 2008 San Diego Comic Con. Rachel Deahl at Publishers Weekly gets the scoop:
The new line, dedicated to crime titles, will launch in 2009 with two lead titles, one by Ian Rankin and another by Brian Azzarello (100 Bullets). For Scottish crime writer Rankin, the forthcoming DC title will mark his first foray into comics. A rep from DC, who said the house would have more details to share tomorrow, confirmed that, despite the launch of Vertigo Crime, Vertigo itself will continue to publish crime titles.
