  • Makes sense for DC.

    Will miss Vertigo, mainly for nostalgic reasons. At one time what they were doing was groundbreaking in the comics industry. They were pushing the envelope of what was traditionally done in comics. And a lot of good creators came out of it. Sad that in recent years the stories/books seem lazy and uninspired.

    Vertigo also broke ground for females in the industry. Karen Berger not only started Vertigo, she was also the Editor.

  • Another one here that will miss the OG Vertigo line. Tons of great material, especially from the earlier days. When I got into collecting the second time around in the early 90's, Vertigo books were my very favorite titles to read. Hellblazer and Sandman broke so much new ground, and paved the way for future writers.

  • I'm not a huge fan of "traditional" superheroes, so Vertigo was right up my alley. Hellblazer, Books of Magic, Preacher, Scalped, Unknown Soldier, American Vampire, Swamp Thing, DMZ, Sandman Mystery Theater, Jonah Hex. . .so many great titles!

    I was glad to see Vertigo's recent reboot, especially Books of Magic. Too bad it's already going down. I like the Black Label books so far, but the price tag is a bit ridiculous. . .
