Kelly Sue Deconnick has proven herself to be one of the most versatile writers working today; her super hero work at Marvel is among the most innovative of their current offerings. However it’s her supernatural horror/ western Pretty Deadly that is breaking new ground among the independent mavericks.

Lettering by Jared K. Fletcher
Jeff Lemire has taken us on a twenty-nine issue journey with one of the most enigmatic super heroes of all time, Animal Man. Since his first appearance in Strange Adventures #180 forty-nine years ago, Animal Man has presented perhaps the most diverse power set imaginable and that has opened the door to a nearly limitless pool of potential premises and plots.

I have done some serious soul searching over this book, having been a huge fan of Hellblazer. My concerns are based on the use, or should I say misuse of the character outside of the Vertigo universe. Perhaps it’s Continue reading

I’ve been putting off writing about Trillium for months now. I was going to review #1 but it had already been claimed for review by the time I got in touch with Cory if I remember correctly. With each issue that I’ve read I’ve felt less and less inclined to write about the engaging, estranging, frustrating, atmospheric, experimental beast that is Trillium, one of the most interesting comics of 2013.

Letters: Steve Wands
Collider had to change its name after issue one because someone else had that name locked down. So here’s Federal Bureau of Physics / Collider #2.

Review by Shawn Warner
WRITTEN & ILLUSTRATED BY: Jeff Lemire
Jeff Lemire is one of the most unique voices in comics today. Perhaps best known for his other Vertigo title, Sweet Tooth, Lemire is now building quite a body of Super-Hero work with impressive runs on Animal Man, Justice League Dark and working with Geoff Johns on Justice League of America, contributing integral chapters of the Trinity War event. Continue reading

Review by Shawn Warner
WRITTEN BY: Scott Snyder
ARTWORK BY: Sean Murphy
The third issue of The Wake begins by hinting that this problem may have existed far longer than anyone thought, 3.8 billion years ago to be precise and on Mars to put an even finer point on it. Continue reading
Long-time Vertigo Editor Shelly Bond has been promoted to Executive Editor of the imprint for DC. Having previously worked on many important and successful titles (including comics such as ‘Fables’, ‘the Invisibles’, and ‘Sandman: Endless Nights’) over the years, leaving outgoing Exec Editor Karen Berger to comment: “I look forward to reading many great comics and graphic novels from these three for many years to come. Vertigo is in the best of hands.”
Also promoted within Vertigo were Will Dennis, now the Group Editor, and Mark Doyle, promoted to Editor! Big moves at Vertigo, for sure!
