actually,i think Spectre would be best for a vertigo series. Swamp thing Cameo doesn't count.

She's a Wonder Woman's sister until the new 52 came now she doesn't exist and a few fanboys aren't happy, so I started this topic because I'm not a big fan of how the 52 just decided to bench characters.

I was alluding to her various origins and retcons over the years: Originally Posted by Red Winter

I would like Donna Troy to have a series in Vertigo because the DCU's new 52 would give her another origin that would screw up the character even more instead of just writing stories of her present & future.
To paint comic books as childish and illiterate is lazy. A lot of comic books are very literate - unlike most films.

You may not be aware of other Vertigo series like The Losers, The Creeper, Sandman, Black Orchid and more. Originally Posted by Superboy Sr

Why sadly? There's no functional difference between Animal Man at Vertigo and Animal Man in the new 52. Originally Posted by Billy Batson

The only exception is Hellblazer, but pretty much yeah. Besides, it would be kind of pointless. You might as well find a way to integrate her with Azz's book, which is a lot more plausible (given that Wonder Woman has a family of demigods now).

Because now I won't get Shade and Human Target books written by Milligan from Vertigo (where he excels) anymore ;/ Originally Posted by carabas

You weren't going to ever get those anyway... Originally Posted by Billy Batson

Fine, other characters that Milligan could have written them better than the previous writers :p Originally Posted by carabas

Whether that is or isn't true is very much up for debate when working on corporate properties, even for Vertigo. Originally Posted by Billy Batson

There was a typo on my part. My bad. Originally Posted by carabas

With the whole "no DCU in characters in Vertigo" thing, we won't see Milligan or anyone else write C/D-list characters with their own ongoings for Vertigo and definitly not for the current DC where the sales matter so much.BB

As someone who likes Milligan's work, especially Shade and Human Target, I would much rather he do an original, creator owned book.
Though it would be nice to see Shade or Chance make an appearance in Stormwatch or whatnot.
