Vertigo - the greatest imprint ever

Mark Bertolini · 09-22-2007, 06:39 PM

Goddamn, but Vertigo is kicking some ass lately.

Jason Aaron's Scalped is just awesome.

Vaughn's Y:The Last Man continues to astound me.

Willingham's Fables is still solid month after month.

Now Andy Diggle's writing Hellblazer?

Is this the next Vertigo renaissance (sp)? Because, honestly, reading the first issue of Scalped made me feel the same way I did when I read the first issue of Preacher.

And their backlist is incredible. From Preacher to Transmetropolitan to The Losers, it seems that just about everything that comes out of this imprint is solid gold.

What do you think?

I'm really loooking forward to Sentences, and a few other vertigo titles.

Diggle and Manco's Hellblazer has been terrific.

Sentences has already been released.

Did it come out already? I'll have to get it when I can. It wasnt at the book store, or rather I didn't see it at the book store, last time i was there.

Yeah, it came out on Sept. 6.

Agree with you there. Easily one of my favorite series right now.

Vaughn's Y:The Last Man continues to astound me.

Have yet to read an issue.

Willingham's Fables is still solid month after month.

Lost touch with this after the third volume of the series but plan to get back into it.

Now Andy Diggle's writing Hellblazer?

I think it's one more BIG (as in a potential to be a critical/media darling, etc) title away but ... yeah. I think years from now people may look at this point of Vertigo history as the beginning of something major.

And their backlist is incredible. From Preacher to Transmetropolitan to The Losers, it seems that just about everything that comes out of this imprint is solid gold.
