Subject: DC: Vertigo


       According to Previews, DC is going to start to show more commitment to
 us mature comic readers out here. All the current mature comics and (at least
 according to Previews) two dozen new titles, limited series(Like the new Death
 miniseries), and graphic novels are going to be put under a new imprint called
 VERTIGO.
       I don't know about the rest of you readers out there, but this gives me
 new hope for the future. Currently, the only comics that fascinate almost
 every issue are the mature titles put out by DC (and a few by Valiant). I just
 hope that they can find the talent to keep up the good work. And wouldn't a
 mature Batman title sound good? I think they should try it.

[insert standard grumbling by Chris Jarocha-Ernst and myself about our
respective Metal Men proposals...]

The mini-series is by Mike Carlin and Dan Jurgens, and according to Carlin
at San Diego is being held up by the inker as it's very much a spare time
project (no, I don't recall the inker's name). The first issue was done
and viewable in b&w form at the DC table there. Given that Carlin is one
of the three editors overseeing DC's superhero line and "revamping", I'd
guess that it won't be dumped.

Another one.  In the start of the second episode, Bruce Wayne has
spent "the night in jail."  Alfred picks him up from the prison, hands
him his costume and drops him off a couple blocks away.  WHERE IT'S
NIGHTTIME AGAIN!  In fact, there seemed to be a lot of problems with
time of day in this episode.  True, the moon always shines over
Gotham, but this episode handles it worse than most.
[Actually, maybe it's just smog--Bruce & Selina just went to lunch and
it's still pitch black.  Incidentally, does anyone else think that the
Red Claw is just Baroness from G.I.Joe with a new set of cronies?]

Well, it continued in "Mayhem," as one of three segments each issue.  There
were only five issues of that, and the Mecha saga remains unfinished.  

Anybody have any news on it?  I reread it recently and was going to bring

Aha, that's because you haven't seen the ex- getting fed up with the fact that
Dream "never talks" to her... it's already happened by the timeline of the
comic, it just hasn't appeared in print. Hence "will do/does". Dream is too busy
being Dream to be a smart lady's dreamboat.

I'm delighted that he agreed to go with Delirium - he might unbend a little.
Rose's death would have been entirely in keeping with his character, though the
road trip isn't so much. We've already seen him relax towards Hob.  Why do
you think the lady decided she no longer loved Dream? Because he hasn't become
sufficiently human, perhaps?

Maybe both are required. Cerebus has killed an awful lot of people that

Didn't he kill a magician in #1 or thereabouts?

  But I seem to remember G'nort carrying on a conversation with his
ring in an early JL, during which the ring _SIGHED_!  I think G'nort 
said something to the effect of "I didn't know power rings could
sigh."  Is this standard, or is G'nort's ring (like him) different
from those of the other GLs?  Or, how about this - the ring slowly 
gains a personality similar to that of its user (Just a thought)?

=o= Well, I've finally caught up.  I've been reaidng the
bi-weekly _Cerebus_ reprints, but those ended at #80.
Since I've been buying (but not reading) the book itself
since "Jaka's Story", I had to locate all the back issues
in between.  This I did.

=o= I just finished reading _Cerebus_ from issue #1 through to
#161, including all "Notes from the Publisher/President" and
"Aardvark Comment."  It took me a week.  Whew!

=o= The story is an amazing accomplishment.  The *business* is
an amazing accomplishment -- the whole thing is creator-owned
and controlled, and I'd say it's being handled just fine.

=o= There's so much to say but most of it's been rehashed over
and over, Usenet-style, in "Aardvark Comment."  Oh well.

=o= So, folks, you don't have to put in spoiler warnings for me
anymore.  BUT . . .

=o= Remember that this is a unique beastie:  A 300-issue story
that comes with "phone book" graphic novels to allow the new
reader to ramp up.  So I still recommend, when discussing
_Cerebus_, that you say which "novel" you're referring to.
And it might still be wise not to put spoilers in the Subject
lines, like "The Third Aardvark is ___", or "The Death of ___".

=o= And to all you potential new readers, by *ALL* means,
take the plunge and become *FULL-FLEDGED* new readers!!!

Recall that in the Special, Destruction (excuse me, Olethros) tells
Orpheus that he can contact Death by being born: "but you people never
remember that particular conversation with her..."

It seems to me that several of the Endless seem to encompass both
their named attribute and the opposite: Death is involved with Life,
as above; Destruction was a stabilizing influence on the family; and
Dream, except when he's in nightmare-making mode, is one of the least
imaginative entities I've seen ("What could possibly go wrong?"  The
mind boggles...)...

The LA Times TV magazine last week had "Toon In" as the cover story, with
the Edlund version of Batman on the cover and extensive articles about the
new season's animaated shows inside.  In the Batman article it was mentioned
that the show's bible says that all Batman's adventures take place at night.

Also, maybe those funky Gotham building conspire to keep it dark at street
level.
