Is the list updated?

Come to think offit..maybe some guy can you know put stars(*) or somn to kinda like represent it as a MUST READ or a MUST HAVE kinda thing you know.

It's just a suggestion tho. hahaha.

I try to keep it updated, though I can't really say for how much longer as my interest in comics has waned quite a bit. But I should still be following Vertigo for a while longer. You can know how recently the list was updated by date near the top of the web page.

You asking for some kind of recommendation indicator on the list itself?

I'm not going to do that because it's too subjective. Such as lots of people like Preacher, and I absolutely hated it. Everyone has different tastes and like different things, and while there are some classic Vertigo titles, there really isn't anything absolutely crucial to read before enjoying another Vertigo title. Besides, I haven't read ALL Vertigo books to even make a personal recommendation as to which ones are definitely better than others.

Sometimes trades are not numbered, or they don't collect all issues or in order. I started the list for myself to sort through the confusion because I kept forgetting which trades contained which issues, such as Hellblazer. I thought others might benefit from such an inclusive list, so I put it on the web. The point of the list is to just list out all the trades in order and what issues they contain so you know what to look for if you want to buy them.

ahhhh point noted. it's all good tho.

Great List! But I think you did leave out Hellblazer: Stations of the Cross. And some Fables titles as well.

I've considered picking up Hellblazer for quite some time, but I can never seem to fully convince myself it's worth the dough.

Well, some of it is, and some of it isn't.

I.e. Delano's run - from what I've seen, worth it

Ennis's run - except for Son of Man, more than worth it

Ellis - yup

Azzarello - just get Hard Time and stop there

**dancj** · 08-01-2007, 05:06 AM

Opinions will vary though. I thought Delano's run was largely mediocre

Awesome list. Very useful for a big Vertigo fan as myself, especially since I hate having incomplete runs in my trade collection.
So far I've got all of Sandman, The Invisibles, Animal Man, Death and a few other assorted vertigo trades.

You should add in Fables, 100 Bullets and Y:The Last Man into your collection, mate..They're awesome stuff.
And although it isn't a trade, i also suggest Pride of Baghdad. A masterpiece!!
