Comic Books: Vertigo

[AmazingThor]

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?

[Johnny Unusual]

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).

I know this thread was here before I started my account and had to triple-check...there's a Vertigo thread but w/o any mention of Preacher?!!

[Johnny Unusual]

Shame that.  I just picked up volume 4 today.  Great series.

[TeamRAD]

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!

Love Vertigo but really only as a source for Trades.

[Johnny Unusual]

With special exception, all comics I get are trades.  I just picked up a vertigo book called Young Liars.  I don't know if it's any good, but it looks interesting and it'll be a nice read for the long weekend, along with The first volume of Buffy, the last volume of 52 and the sixth volume of .
