xenilk posted:For anyone looking to start a 8 book serie, The Kitchen's first issue was a lot of fun to read. Echoing this. Sets up plenty of plot for issue 2 to hit the ground running. Knowing it's scheduled for 8 issues raises my hopes that this won't spin its wheels at all.

The Kitchen can't actually end, right? I need 5 seasons of it on AMC.

I'm three trades into iZombie (out of four) and am afraid it's gradually becoming a case of Allred's art making the plot seem cooler than it is. The first trade is great, and I'd still recommend the series in general, but that gum might run out of flavor on you. (Honestly, that's how I'm starting to feel about the TV show, too.)

Thank you, DC, for announcing so many lackluster "refreshes" for your fall launches (though Amy Chu writing Poison Ivy oughtta be cool), I can pick up the best of these Vertigos instead. Hot diggity drat, this news makes me happy!

The Twilight Children preview won me over, as if there was any doubt in a Hernandez/Cooke teamup.

As just about everyone predicted, The Twilight Children is fuckin' aces. Great first issue.

I think iZombie works great for two volumes, especially one, then falls apart.

Teenage Fansub posted:What does that even mean? Incoming fanfic casting... I would love to see certain Vertigo series paired with superheroes. Hell, some of them would barely be a stretch. Federal Bureau of Physics with The Flash would be like the comic becoming more like the show (with better art than the current Flash comics). Martian Manhunter investigating The Twilight Children would play to the DC You version's strengths a ton. Retro Oliver Queen trying to untangle the gangland politics of The Kitchen is begging for a limited series, bonus points for Harley egging on the ladies into further violence. Given DC's love for double-dipping on series, come on, let's mix up some premises already.

Unfollow had a good premiere issue. That and Twilight Children are winning me over, plus I can't wait for Sheriff of Baghdad. Keep em coming, Vertigo!

The Something Awful Forums - Batman's Shameful Secret - Vertigo: Are You Sure You Didn't Mean Image? Serious talk though, I've been loving the latest wave, with Art Ops, Slash & Burn, and Clean Room topping my list (2016's issues could change all that, of course).

If the folks behind Cabin In The Woods ever want to do a sequel, they could do worse than adapt Survivors' Club, especially now that horrors are starting to cross paths as of the excellent fourth issue.

Anyone care to theorize what the hell goes on in The Twilight Children? Hard to believe it's over when it only feels halfway done.

Speaking for the first three issues, Sheriff of Babylon is much, much grayer than a "white liberators" narrative. There are double crosses on top of double crosses, like a military noir crossed with a half-dozen Iraqi personalities who talk about America's presence in good/bad terms based on history/the present moment, and they could be lying to whomever is listening in that scene. The seeming protagonist, the put-upon white detective, struggles just to maintain order and sanity among his own troops, let alone save anyone from another culture. His biggest virtue so far is that he seems to work with his eyes open and want to perform his duty in a straightforward manner, but he might also be the last honest person there. The question at the center of the plot is, "how did this corpse appear at the edge of the green zone?" but the answer requires looking at the story of everyone occupying the power vacuum in Iraq -religion, opportunism, loyalists, rebels, occupying soldiers, men, women- and their clashing motives. If the story turns out to resolve in a tension-shattering "the good guys were sent to straighten out this mess and dammit that's what they're gonna do," it would still have to tie up some complex loose ends that I for one have been enjoying. This is all without going into how Mitch Gerads is absolutely killing it on art, but I have the print issues and don't have time to stuff this post with a dozen TIMGs (tis the work of a nobler poster than I, who can only donate words). Also, having read an advance copy of Dark Night: A True Batman Story, all y'all animated series and Paul Dini fans are in for a real treat. Comes out in June!

And Vertigo's remaining editors will report directly to Didio & Lee. What're the odds that the B-Team will get to rule the roost as D+L ignore Vertigo's emails in lieu of chasing Young Animal's exposure? (Reminder: Clean Room, Sheriff of Babylon, and Unfollow are unimpeachable. Survivors' Club, Red Thorn, and Jacked are no slouches, either.)

I know Young Animal is the belle of the alt-DC ball right now, but Clean Room is on such a hot streak and deserves more love from the weird-horror crowd.

Thanks for mentioning Unfollow! Scooped up everything from after I cut it out (hard to keep biting the $4 bullet).

Good God, that Sheriff of Babylon conclusion. There is no real mystery, just a cycle of violence and whatever stage of it you happen to witness. Everyone else is complicit and either in denial about it or comfortable with it.
