Apparently, DC has officially pulled the plug on Vertigo, in favor of a new three-line approach. Let’s raise a toast to the line that gave us Sandman, Sandman Mystery Theatre, Hellblazer, and so many more amazing titles that helped change what American comics could be. Karen Berger, Alisa Kwitney, and anyone else who was there, if you happen to read this, thank you!

Farewell, Vertigo. Thanks for all the great comics you’ve brought us over the years. I hope we continue to see creator owned titles under our roof, as it seems TPTB intend to do.
On the plus side, perhaps this brand consolidation means opening up more of the archives for DCU…

Sad news.
But… does that mean now that Vertigo comics can be added to DC Universe?

raises a glass of bubbly Thanks for the memories.
Looks like all Vertigo books will be re-branded over time as Black Label titles.
I doubt this changes anything for Vertigo availability on DCU, sadly. If it does though, I’d pull an all-nighter binge for Transmetropolitan. Again.

I my opinion Vertigo has been dead a long time. The line used to make a statement. But that statement was very exclusive to the time it was published. Now it exists in name only. And that’s not bad. It’s just that the industry and the world have moved on. It’s different now. We don’t need Vertigo. It served its purpose. Let’s let it rest.
Still, I’ll be sad to see the name user which so many revolutionary and timeless comics were published go.

A few years ago I dramatically downsized my comic collection. One thing I just could not part with is the entire run of Fables, my favorite long form comic story. Thanks, Vertigo.

RIP Vertigo. So many amazing series, mini-series and one shots. I discovered many of my favorites there.
