Vertigo is probably my favorite comic imprint of all time, and right now produces two of the books I look forward to most: Unwritten and Hellblazer. A book that I think deserves some love in this thread (although it is flawed) is DMZ by Brian Wood. It's set a New York of the future, at the point where the city is the demilitarized zone of a strange and distributed civil war. Matty Roth is a journalist who got dumped there almost by accident (he was photographer for another journalist whose helicopter crashed) and he's come to associate with the DMZ occupants more than with either side in the conflict. At points it's a little too cute for its own good (the issue about the, like, thriving subculture of the DMZ, man, is just loving pretentious), but at points it's brilliant and brutal political drama.

I remember a year or so ago having a conversation about Mike Carey where I said that while I liked him a lot, I didn't think he'd written his masterpiece yet. Seriously, Unwritten is his masterpiece. This book is Sandman-good right now, and that's something I never ever say.

so... does this mean that Bigby will now start keeping The Adversary's people in conditions of horrible apartheid and run magic bulldozers through their homes?
