Anyone reading this? Thinking about picking up the first few issues.
- i never read a single Vertigo ever, nor have i ever held an issue in my hands..e-pill
- Really? Wow. Fables is probabl my favorite comics, well that and The Goon. (not Vertigo).discoduro
- Any reason why? Just curious.discoduro
- when verticgo came out it was dc's way of taking the readers of valiant and dark horse..e-pill
- they just didnt have that one thing that the other books had.. was not well written..e-pill
- which i hear they have done very well, it was grabing the reader.. the characters..e-pill
- they never grabbed at me like lets say Aliens vs Predator has.. or Rai or Shadowman..e-pill
- now all those titles each were very well written and the art was amaazing...e-pill
- DC Vertigo enters the fold to try to grab those readers since marvel was mostly cannon..e-pill
- and marvel had at the time New Universe that didnt do well but had the best stories..e-pill
- fucking love vertigo. they've put out some great storiesscarabin
- so it was like the reader was immature reading Image titles like Youngblood..e-pill
- or you had the readers reading books like Solar and Harbinger who were slightly ..e-pill
- older and more mature or just more defined in who the are individually as a person..e-pill
- vertigo books never to me had that long lasting hero aspect or villain aspect of any other..e-pill
- its like being back in high school with drama students.. who never played dodgeball..e-pill
- thats what Vertigo books to me relates to.. that demographic just isnt me..e-pill
- ill read DPI or Nightmask any day over any Vertigo title.. and those books sucked!!!e-pill
- the other thing is even though i am so into comics i can not name a single vertigo title.e-pill
- even though i spend so much time in comic history that stuff i am oblivious to..e-pill
- Thanks, makes sense. I read all that old Valiant stuff too and curiously enough never touched a ...discoduro
- Vertigo book untill I was an adult. Fables being the book that really pulled me back into comics.discoduro
- no actually i only used the Valiant books as a reference b/c i know you are also a fan.e-pill
- usually when asked about why i never read vertigo books is by hardcore dc fanatics..e-pill
- you are a hardcore Valiant Acclaim fanatic and i used that in my argument.. haha!!!e-pill
- ahdiscoduro
- This book is pretty sweet Lemires pacing and story telling skills are tops and while he's no jim lee or frank queitly his art is quirky like most vertigo books and compliments the story I suggest itTNDAP
- LOL e-pill you're so far of the mark with your 'Vertigo trying to steal away readers" comment.ximeraLabs
- But fair enough if its not your bag its not your bag.ximeraLabs
