DC COMICS ROUNDUP

Sean McKeever, writer of both Teen Titans and the Terror Titans mini-series, will be writing Titans.

Titans #12 features the kickoff of the "Deathtrap" 5-part crossover with Vigilante and Teen Titans, in which Jericho continues his assault upon his former teammates.

In other DC news:

* James Robinson and Greg Rucka are the new writing team on the 12-issue Superman: World of Krypton.

* Green Lantern #37, the third chapter of "Rage of the Red Lanterns," has sold out at the publisher, and is being sent back to press for a new, second printing.

The second printing features a pencils-only version of this issue's cover by Shane Davis and will be in stores on Feb. 25.

* DC is adding 100 pages to the Absolute edition of V for Vendetta at no additional cost.

The new material includes all of David Lloyd's silent art pages from the original comic-book series, which were not included in the collected editions and have not been seen since the series' original publication by DC Comics in 1988-1989. In addition, an expanded version of the sketchbook section from the hardcover will be included, as well as all of the back cover art from the original issues.

The 396-page book will be in stores on August 19 and will cost $99.

VINCENT PRICE PRESENTS CREATORS

Bluewater Productions has announced that veteran artist Pat Broderick will be penciling issues of Vincent Price Presents.

"Being a 55-year-old adult, I grew up with Vincent Price," Broderick said. "His tremendous body of work entertained a young man who was lucky enough to be allowed to stay up past midnight to watch all of his classic horror movies. Those were the best, no hacking, no guts in your face. When Bluewater offered me this, I knew that it would be fun. I approached the storytelling in a wide-screen, story-boarding format, which is perfect for this story."

Broderick is one of several creators announced by Bluewater for the Vincent Price title.

Mark L. Miller will be writing "The Tingler" story. Mel Smith and Clark Castillo, are creative team behind Image Comics' Dead Ahead, have developed one of the two sequels featuring Dr. Phibes. Adriano created the other Dr. Phibes story.

Vincent Price Presents #5 will be in stores this month, with a cover by Joel Robinson. In April, Bluewater will release Vincent Price Presents: Gallery of Terror, a one-shot featuring images of Price.

"What most people do not realize about this series is these stories are one shots," said Darren G. Davis, Bluewater's publisher. "Each of the 24-page comics is set up like an episode of the Twilight Zone. It makes every issue a great place for new readers to jump into the series².
