Article Summary
UPDATE : This write up has nowbeen confirmed by DC Comics at NYCC 2024.The original clause continues : I’m currently process from Bettys in Harrogate after the conclusion of the Thought Bubble Comic Con . With the wine-coloured and the beers and the shot , fall the hot gossip at Mojo ’s taproom . Comic book publishing house that have n’t been paying . New conventionalism that may be begin . Lawsuits that have been launch against creator . Lots of stuff to dig into . Last year I managed to find what would eventually become Dstlry – and yes , they were all here last nighttime as well . But the biggest gossip of last night was DC Comics . And the gossip that in 2024 ( or at this degree , more likely 2025 ) , DC Comics will be take back Vertigo . This was a mature readers furrow that wreak together darker takes on existing DC Universe role such asSwamp Thing , John Constantine , Doom Patrol , Animal Man , Swamp ThingandSandman , as well as semi - Divine - owned series such asPreacher , Transmetropolitan , The Invisibles , Scalped , Testament , and so much more .
In 2020 , Bleeding Coolbroke the word that DC Comics was to ' shutter ' Vertigo . We state thatsome books would move to Black Label , and some would no longer be published . We were told , repeatedly , that we were wrong , and we were talking gimcrack . Well , American Vampiremoved to Black Label , Image Comics denote they ’d be publishing the comicSFSX ( Safe Sex ) , antecedently announce as coming from Vertigo , and finally , DC made it officialthat they were going to shutter Vertigo – and more besides . The DC Ink and DC Zoom imprints , launched with such gaudery and circumstance a few years ago , would also be done away with . Thecommand come from the previous braggy bossPamela Lifford , who had an aversion to embossment . sure labor were folded into the DC Black Label line of reasoning , intended only as a reading eld signifier .
Well , Pamela Lifford is get nowand in her wake , DC Comics is looking to bring in back the Vertigo line . The Black Label line is generally for short - run comics , but Vertigo – which will embrace the Sandman Presents line – will include on-going series . Right now , they are just talking about DC Comics characters and IP treatment , but there is talk about returning to the creator - owned sphere for long - running titles . obviously , some of the drift for this has come from DC and Warner Bros. executives nostalgic for what Vertigo used to bring to the company – and it ca n’t have been hinder by the late success ofBodies , only made into a Netflix series when the rights had eventually been returned from DC Comics / Vertigo , and impede before that . If , and when Vertigo restitution , the deterrent example learned is that DC and Warners should be more heart-to-heart to such undertaking .
This is just the very early level of trend . But it ’s enough that enough citizenry are speak about it . Maybe we will learn more at San Diego Comic - Con 2024 ? Or will we really have to wait another year for San Diego 2025 like we had to with Sandman Presents ? Certyainly the return of the Elseworlds impression at DC is a sign that DC Comics is no longer loth to bestow back its authoritative depression .
