Sweet Tooth #6
February 8th, 2010 | By Greg McElhatton
With the start of the second "Sweet Tooth" storyline, this mixture of past and future is a strong opening installment.
Scalped #34
February 5th, 2010 | By Chad Nevett
“The Gnawing” concludes with a lot of bloodshed and tremendous work by Jason Aaron and R. M. Guéra.
Demo, Volume 2 #1
February 4th, 2010 | By Chad Nevett
“Demo” returns and it’s like the series was never gone with a story about a woman haunted by a dream where a woman dies.
Fables #92
January 24th, 2010 | By Greg McElhatton
"Fables" goes for one of its patented side-stories, but this time the result is a little underwhelming.
Joe the Barbarian #1
January 21st, 2010 | By Greg McElhatton
"Joe the Barbarian" is off to a slightly slow start, but given the gist of the series, it makes sense.
Daytripper #2
January 19th, 2010 | By Greg McElhatton
With its second issue, the idea behind "Daytripper" is starting to become a bit clearer. Perhaps.
The Unwritten #9
January 18th, 2010 | By Timothy Callahan
A prison break! Tragedy! Sadness! Another good installment of Vertigo's "Harry Potter" pastiche.
Saga of the Swamp Thing Book One
December 30th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Alan Moore's American debut is still one of the best comics ever published in this country.
Unwritten #8
December 15th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
When does an innocent belief in fiction cross the line into delusion? That’s what the latest “Unwritten” asks, but the answer is undercut by the book’s larger narrative somewhat.
Daytripper #1
December 13th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Moon and Ba provide some beautiful imagery, but the themes drip across the surface of this story.
Sweet Tooth #4
December 6th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Stark, simple, strong -- both in the art and the narrative.
Greek Street #5
November 10th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
The first story arc ends and, sadly, the direction of the book isn’t any clearer.
Cinderella: From Fabletown With Love #1
November 10th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
This "Fables" spin-off mini-series is off to a fun start, but it's a shame no one thought to better coordinate it with the parent title.
Scalped #32
October 17th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
A quick-moving issue as things somehow continue to get worse for both Red Crow and Dash Bad Horse.
Sweet Tooth #2
October 11th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
A solid second issue as Gus is taken under the wing of Jepperd with the hopes of sanctuary in a preserve for other hybrid children.
DMZ #45
September 15th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
What does a DMZ zone do with a nuclear weapon? Anything they want, of course.
The Unwritten #5
September 12th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
An exploration of the career of Rudyard Kipling as it relates to Tom Taylor who doesn’t appear in this issue at all. Don’t worry, you won’t miss him.
Sweet Tooth #1
September 8th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Sweet Tooth" has promise, but it's off to an awfully slow start.
Young Liars #18
September 8th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
I come not to bury “Young Liars,” but to praise it. . .
Unknown Soldier #11
August 29th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
This issue doesn't quite come together as well as the last few, but it's probably the calm before the storm.
Scalped #31
August 29th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Oh yes, Dash Bad Horse is in for some fun, and it's not the kind of "fun" that's actually much fun at all. (For him.)
Fables #87
August 14th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
With the big crossover behind it, "Fables" has definitely found its mojo again.
DMZ #44
August 14th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
A small-scale story comes to a close with big emotions.
The Unwritten #4
August 13th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Mike Carey increases the suspense, the horror, and the mystery in this very good Vertigo series.
House of Mystery #16
August 10th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
After last issue's explosion of plot, "House of Mystery" suddenly slows to a crawl, but with a thoroughly enjoyable story-within-a-story.
Greek Street #2
August 6th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
After the first issue’s emphasis on set-up, the second issue looked clear to begin moving things forward, but not much of that happens thanks to a large ensemble cast that still needs definition.
Northlanders #19
August 4th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
Brian Wood and Danijel Zezelj knock this latest "Northlanders" two-parter out of the park.
Scalped #30
July 17th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
"The Gnawing" begins, and things fall apart in another excellent installment of Vertigo's best ongoing series.
The Unwritten #3
July 11th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
What does “Frankenstein” have to do with Tom Taylor’s quest to find out his true identity? A lot more than you’d think, as this issue begins to show just what this fantastic new series is all about.
Greek Street #1
July 5th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
One dollar for 40 pages! You can’t ask for much else, can you?
Young Liars #16
June 19th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
An absolute masterpiece of craft and storytelling as David Lapham takes a break from the ongoing narrative to focus on a new character and a different type of issue construction.
The Unwritten #2
June 18th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
Mike Carey and Peter Gross's "The Unwritten" mixes mystery, fantasy, and a love of books into the perfect synthesis of all three.
Unknown Soldier #8
June 6th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Unknown Soldier" started off with a strong debut, but the problem of setting the title in a real-world situation is starting to show.
Seaguy: Slaves of Mickey Eye #3
June 4th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
The best single issue of any comic book so far this year.
Madame Xanadu #11
May 31st, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
Michael Kaluta stops in for a few issues on "Madame Xanadu," and the end result is breathtakingly beautiful.
Northlanders #17
May 31st, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Northlanders" uses a one-off story to portray a massive fight scene, but there's more to the comic than just that.
House of Mystery #13
May 17th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"House of Mystery" takes a brief detour to its old horror anthology roots, and while it's entertaining enough, regular readers of the new "House of Mystery" might be slightly frustrated.
Young Liars #15
May 14th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
Danny tries to get the old gang back together, revealing that maybe not everyone died. Or maybe they did and he’s just crazy. Or maybe they didn’t and he’s still just crazy. Who knows?
The Unwritten #1
May 13th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
An incredibly strong debut that will only set you back a buck. Buy this comic!
Bang! Tango #4
May 10th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
So very bad that this blurb won’t begin to describe how awful this comic is.
Madame Xanadu #10
May 4th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
Featuring a star-studded cast of DC Universe mystical superbeings from yesteryear, the first story from Vertigo's "Madame Xanadu" draws to a close.
Scalped #28
April 26th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
Who killed those two FBI agents in 1975? Who killed Gina Bad Horse? Those questions are answered here, but what will the answers bring about?
Air #8
April 17th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
Blythe, Amelia Earhart, and Northfield go searching for a device and not much happens along the way. Rather forgettable.
Fables #83
April 16th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"The Great Fables Crossover" begins not with a bang, but more of a thud.
100 Bullets #100
April 15th, 2009 | By Benjamin Birdie
The violent tragedy of 100 Bullets comes to an end, ten years after it began, with its creators in firm control over the lives and endings of their characters.
House of Mystery #12
April 13th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"House of Mystery" continues to get better every issue, as it offers up answers at a surprising rate, while still generating new questions.
Northlanders #16
April 12th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Things aren't nearly what they seemed in this powerful conclusion to "The Cross + The Hammer"
Scalped #27
April 10th, 2009 | By Benjamin Birdie
The focus falls on Special Agent Baylis Earl Nitz this month, featuring art from Francesco Francavilla.
Haunted Tank #5
April 5th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
The series concludes but the war rages on. Forever.
Seaguy: Slaves of Mickey Eye #1
April 1st, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
Seaguy is back with Lucky El Lorro in tow for more adventures of the mind-bending variety. It’s been five long years, but the wait was worth it.
