Are you guys sure Amanda Connor is exclusive? I thought she was doing some indie stuff for Aftershock.
I think a lot of writers would be more hesitant to sign exclusive contracts if it meant they couldn't do independent work.
That has traditionally been the case but the more recent ones have supposedly been more strict. There are some allowances for already pre-planned work, but otherwise they want new creator owned stuff to go through Vertigo.
I suspect this is a direct result of the double shipping they have planned. That's such a grueling schedule, they need a lot of people full committed to their books.
Liam Sharp is now DC exclusive.

Robson Rocha and Otto Schmidt are now DC exclusive too.
Googled Otto Schmidt since I had never heard of him before, lots of fanservicy pin-pinups, not sure how I feel about that.
I will say however he does have an interesting style, town down fanservice and he could probably be a good artist for one of the more energetic/zany DC characters, maybe put him on a Creeper or Ambush Bug mini.
Also glad they got Rocha as an exclusive. Liked the work he's done for DC in the past l.
There's a Time For Peace, and Then There's a Time To Punch Nazi Scumbags in the Face!!
Schmidt's work on Green Arrow so far has been fantastic, good get.
