Review: Fairest #7
Louis Falcetti writes for Bleeding Cool; The most recent Fables spinoff, Fairest, has been until now a somewhat insular affair. It's not that it hasn't
Is The Dreaming Now Part Of The New 52?
It was denied by people who knew better, and later we ran the stories of Sandman Zero being published by DC Vertigo, and Tim Hunter becoming part of the New 52 But is it possible there was more than Tim Hunter? Could Matthew, the Dreaming and a certain castle be on their way? Or is this[...]
Last Week's Comics In Fourteen Panels – Including Mark Millar's Greece
It's all too appropriate for words and I've already spent too many. LEAVE THEM HANGING ON BY THE SKIN OF THEIR SCALPS SCALPED #60 marks the end of the road for Jason Aaron's landmark Vertigo series, his best and most mature work, the most violent and most emotional This is the book that *really* launched Aaron's career,[...]
Punk Rock Jesus Saved By Reorders?
Batman #0 continues to pick up advance reorders from retailers, twice in two weeks which means I think we can rely on a very quick sell out and second
Scalped For The Very Last Time
It was Jock's beautiful art that intrigued me, followed by Vertigo's label that promised some good-ol' explicit content Jason Aaron and R.M Guéra were two individuals I'd never heard of before, but since it was a Vertigo title, I was willing to take a chance and shelled-out the $2.99 If it sucked, at least I[...]

Don't be thrown by the title[...]

The Invisibles Omnibus Hardcover Will Be Sewn, Will Be One Volume
It's the The Invisibles Omnibus from DC/Vertigo. 1536 pages comprising the three volumes, Invisibles vol 1 #1-25, Invisibles vol 2 #1-22 and Invisibles vol #12-1. I'm told that it is being printed all in one hardcover volume, it will have sewn binding rather than glued binding, for readability ease… …and it's at the printers now. How many trees will[...]
The New Deadwardians Gives Us Its Best Play On Words To Date
The New Deadwardians has rapidly become my favourite Vertigo title (which usually means it will be cancelled shortly), written by Dan Abnett whose work, despite the praise it often receives, I haven't personally enjoyed for a long time But New Deadwardians is aces It smacks of a high concept 2000AD strip given room to breathe[...]
The Vertigo Dog And Pony Show – One Fan's Opinion
It's with this in mind that I tell you to avoid the Vertigo comics panel in the future. Why? After all, next year is going to be Vertigo's 20th anniversary, surely there will be some special things in store for those attending SDCC 2013 Maybe so, but if this year's panel is the way that these[...]

Absolute Top Ten… But Where's The Second Half?
The first volume went out of print a long long time ago… The Superman: The Death and Return of Superman Omnibus HC gets back into print for more money, but this time even thicker than before, with content that wasn't included last time.

When Grant Morrison MBE Stripped Queen Elizabeth II Naked
I wonder if she'll bring it up at all? Scenes from Vimanarama #2, from DC/Vertigo with Philip Bond on art. I don't think a writer whose comic books have depicted the Queen, naked and humiliated, along well as the rest of the British Government has ever been offered the MBE before. Still there's a first time for[...]
