should vertigo be part of the multiverse

[IamtheRock3]

I think show

Planet 13. Now one may ask, what about the alternate universes in some of their stories. Same question can be ask about wildstorm

So it best not to ask those questions


But like the idea Vertigo more closely connected, with DC. Maybe more Swamp thing, and magic leaking through DC. Some of thier monsters leaking through.

But seperate enough where if they dont want to acknowledge each other, they dont have to. But if they want to they can.


Now people may ask about MILISTONE characters. I aint putting up with them being in a differnt universe. Want some of them in Dc proper

You can't have Milestone in the DCU, they aren't owned by DC.

[Jack Zodiac]

No. I'm all for Swamp Thing and John Constantine coming back into the DCU proper, and when they're written competently, The Endless; but otherwise, no, there's no need to bring a bunch of the creator-owned titles into DC's multiverse.

Vertigo is part of the DCU sometimes...

Most early Vertigo titles based on DCU characters, started off in the mainstream DCU and then sort of moved farther away from it. Swamp Thing, Animal Man, Doom Patrol,Sandman and Books Of Magic were all initially set in the DCU and Sandman Mystery Theater is considered canon (or as close as you can get with all the reboots) to the DCU.

The editorial dept of Vertigo has pretty much steered clear of the mainstream DCU (sometimes, against the writer's wishes).

Neither are most of the titles currently published by Vertigo, for that matter.

I think, when they eventually show Earth-13, it'll only be things like Swamp Thing, Sandman and Hellbalazer that'll be shown on that Earth.

[Jack Zodiac]

Oh! So there already is an Earth that's designated "Vertigo Earth," eh? Was it just mentioned in an interview or have we kind of seen it already?

I like the idea that Swamp Thing, John Constantine and the rest are still part of the DCU, they just live in another neighbourhood the spandex crowd doesn't visit very often;)

I like that and agree as well.

The Endless shouldn't be separated to one universe, though. Since Destiny has shown up in Brave and the Bold, I think if they are in one universe, they're in New Earth.

[Jack Zodiac]

Well, it'd be cheap if they suddenly divided The Endless into fifty-two counterparts. In The Sandman, they were the only Endless in all of existence, and the only difference between universes and dimensions was how they were perceived.
