What I look for in the comic books I read today grew out of my first time reading Preacher. That was the moment that Vertigo changed comic books forever for me. Naturally as a 14-year-old kid who was a giant nerd and heavily into punk, I feel in love instantly. I didn’t understand how a comic could have extreme violence, sex, nudity, and more or less everything that’s considered crude and inappropriate. At first I almost didn’t believe I was holding a comic book in my hands. I was hanging out at one of my new high school friend’s and he put a copy of Preacher in my hands. That was my comic book bubble, and for a long time I happily lived in it.
#VERTIGO COMICS SERIES#
I watched the Batman: The Animated Series after school during the week, X-Men: The Animated Series on Saturday mornings, and I collected a slew of comic books featuring my favorite Marvel and DC heroes. JJ Travers: Growing up I was your typical ’90s comic book kid. The spirit of Vertigo will continue to live on in the stories and its many, many readers.
Most of all, we want everyone to remember that just because Vertigo has been shut down it doesn’t mean its dead. AiPT!‘s team wants to share our grief, memories, nostalgia, and gratitude with you, our community. If anything good can be said about the closure of Vertigo, it’s that our community is united in its reflection, reminiscing, and in making sure that Berger and the creators of Vertigo know how thankful we all are for one hell of a ride. The comic book industry is collectively grieving for the demise of one of its leading innovators that spawned some of the most cherished characters and stories of the last quarter century. Thus, after a 26-year run of creator-owned titles that pioneered non-superhero comics, Vertigo is being laid to rest. The imprint passed through several hands until landing with Mark Doyle in 2017, who helping put together a relaunch of the imprint in 2018, with 11 new ongoing titles planned. Bond oversaw the imprint for the next four years until her position was eliminated during a restructuring. Filling her shoes was Shelly Bond, an editor that had been with the company since 1993. In December of 2012, Berger announced that she would be leaving Vertigo the following March. The wildly profane, violent, and sex riddled pages of this tale changed the rules around what a comic book could be, and 20 years later, we’re still reaping the rewards of the huge risk Vertigo took with this book. For perhaps the first time ever in a major media format, the Christian god was used as the prime antagonist in Garth Ennis’ Preacher.
#VERTIGO COMICS MOVIE#
Alan Moore’s V for Vendetta is instantly recognizable to movie fans across the globe, and the Guy Fawkes mask has transcended its story it to become a symbol for anti-establishment protests around the world.
