Anyone else think Vertigo is the happening thing?
Y the last Man
DMZ
Loveless
100 Bullets
Fables
IMHO, Vertigo is putting out the best comic titles. I love adult-themed, creator-owned comics. No cheesy tie-in or gimmicky crossovers.

V for Vendetta is the only Vertigo one I think I have.

What about Top Cow and Image? Gen 13 was all right but I loves me some Sara and Lara action. |

i read some of the sandman, swamp thing, then hellblazer, i actually have like 100 issues straight of hellblazer, but as soon as they started to switch writers left and right, it wasnt the same after the "hard time" story so i stopped collecting it afterwards. preacher on the other hand, i collected from the first issue until the last issue, its an amazing book and read, i heard they making an HBO series based on the book, now thats blasphemy  |

I think Vertigo is DC's solution to gaining bigger readership from non-superhero comic book fans.
I have trouble staying with the issues though - miss one, then two, then wait for the trade to come out....

Same here. Vertigo seems almost designed for TPBs though. |

Isn't the current run of American Splendor at Vertigo?

Yeah, and I believe they're reprinting the old material too.
Frankly, I'm a big fan of Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol, though at times it's hard to understand. Particularly Vol. 3. At the end I was like "what the Hell just happened". Luckily four and five were relatively easy to follow (though I have no idea that the Telephone Avatar was supposed to do).

Great series, for sure. I found its irreverence so contagious, and man, Custer's grandmother scared the bejeezus out-of-me in Book 2! And Jesus knows how to throw a happening party!!
I own the entire series, and it's right up there w/ Pilgrim and Runaways as my favorites. Preacher is rock 'n' roll.
Oh god, the amount of giggling upon discovering Allfather D'Aronique was bulimic.... *facepalm*

Until the End of the World is probably my favorite book of the series, RAD!  |
