DC Vertigo: Fanatic And Necretaceous... Will We Learn More At NYCC?
https://bleedingcool.com/comics/dc-vertigo-fanatic-and-necretaceous-will-we-learn-more-at-nycc/Announced last year at New York Comic Con from DC Comics, amongst a number of new DC Vertigo comic books was Fanatic by Grace Ellis, co-creator of Lumberjanes, and Hannah Templer of Cosmoknights, in which a woman's obsession with a comic book spirals into a deadly parasocial fixation on its creator, and how such can warp your reality. It was scheduled for the summer of 2026. It did not come out.
Also announced was Necretaceous by DCeased co-creator Tom Taylor and The Boys co-creator Darick Robertson, in which scientists attempt to time-travel to stop a zombie virus, only to land 66 million years in the past, among dinosaurs. Tom Taylor called it "a series about extinction and survival, loss and love, betrayal and friendship, and… zombie dinosaurs! Vertigo returns to DC with an undead roar… The only way to escape a zombie apocalypse is to escape to… the past. Vertigo is back!" Well, not quite, it was scheduled for this autumn without sign. Might we hear more about both of them at NYCC this year?

Hopefully the reason why we haven't heard more about them is because DC wanted to give them a spotlight at NYCC.

u/richjohnston echoing my concerns. Will this raise the profile of this and shake loose some answers? We'll see...
