Ed Brubaker was already nervous about playing the starring role in his own panel. As the only one on the dais, there was no one else to "make fun of" he said.

Newsarama.com reports from the Vertigo Panel:

A new series called Day Tripper by Fabio Moon and Gabrielle Ba was announced. The two are probably best know for their work on Umbrella Academy. "They never quite tell me who draws what and who writes what," Berger said as she introduced the two Brazilian creators.

Moon said the series is about "a guy who wants to be a writer and how the things you do in your life every day, there's stuff that can determine what you're going to do the rest of your life." The series is set in Brazil, so the "background is going to be very different," he added.

"It's got a real nice magical realist aspect to it," Berger said. The series will be out next spring.
