 I buy every Vertigo series in one format or another with the exception of the corporately owned Hellblazer and House of Mystery. |

'Corporately owned' You say this like it's some kind of affliction, some of Vertigo's best books have been corporately owned, Sandman is isn't it? Books Of Magic. Isn't Fables not totally creator-owned either? And anyway, I'd go as far to say that because Hellblazer and House Of Mystery (both of which are really good books, regardless of who owns them) are 'corporate', out of the money spent on them, more of it will go to keeping Vertigo going on, than to the creators. You can't wriggle out of this one, if Vertigo is cancelled, then you have nobody to blame but yourself. |

Do you actually like comics? |

Bill Hicks was pretty funny. |
||
|
||
|
|

Well done. Hicks is overrated, he's like the Fables of stand-up. Talking of Fables, it has superheroes in it now? Jesus fuck, what a shark-jump. |

Blatant attempt to cater to the Didiot to stave off the Vertipocalypse, obv. |
||
|

Or; it's always been shit and Willingham has started to run out ideas. |
||
|
||
|
|
||
|
No, I don't think that's it. |
||
|
||

It's more likely than a Didio-led conspiracy to destroy indie comics. |

FIFY. |

I'd say Rich called it right. |

Sting the Magic Hobo #276 Swamp Thing's old bi-polar sidekick has gotten hitched, and to avoid marital compromise someone will die! For a character who has lived for centuries in life's moral gray areas, this thin parable was pretty black and white. But the story itself failed to sell me on the villain's horrible fate, despite heavy-handedly trying to pin the market collapse on him, making him out to be a cartoon misogynist, and even giving him a little devil beard just to make sure I got the message he's the bad one here. Simon Bisley's artwork usually shines when he's given a little space and some fantastic scenes to draw, and there's a little to be done toward the end but to me he's largely wasted here drawing Sting the Magic Hobo snogging with his teen Disney wife or other dingy and slightly nauseating scenes in cramped rooms and offices. 5.75 |
