Thanks for noticing; I'll add the missed solicits there. This is a Vertigo thread now.
>>81221349
Renae De Liz should've gotten a book in DC proper.
I'm working on the new DCU Checklist now.
>>81223551
My current progress is now on the monthly books.

Man, I meant to get into some of the new Verigo titles but fell behind right when it launched. I only got around to reading the first two Twilight Children. Any strong contenders? I like good art.
I like most of the current crop of Vertigo titles but I also hope those rumors of doing darker DC stuff at Vertigo again are true
>>81226316
I like Clean Room, Jacked, Sheriff of Babylon, and Red Thorn a lot
>>81226316
I like Sheriff of Babylon, Clean Room, Unfollow, and Red Thorn
>>81226324
It does seem pretty likely at this point. Either that or more people getting their own Vertigo books in general
>>81226353
>>81226340
Looks like I'll start with Sheriff, Clean, and Red Thorn, thanks.
>>81226324
Unfortunately I think it's inevitable with all of the original stories being weakly received.
I'm intrigued about all those exclusives, most of them seem to be only on one title so I'm hoping we'll see them pop up over at Verigo. there's a lot from them I'd be dying to see an original story from.
>>81226316
Sheriff if Babylon, Red Thorn, Art Ops and Unfollow are all very good. Clean Room is nice too.
>>81226324
I doubt it. They tried that when Vertigo launched and it blew up in their face.
>>81221250
Is this shit? I stopped reading after the first issue when I realized it was a continuation rather than a new series.
Rebirth checklist finally done after several hours.

I still can't believe fucking Sam "Dogfucker" Humphries is writing Green Lantern. What did I do to deserve this?

Liking Lanterns is suffering
At least it's still not as bad as being an X-Men fan
>>81227649
Thank you anon
>>81228328
Vendittis can be good if he just sticks to Earth like what EVS wants and recreate the magic of Englehert/Staton era GL with 8 members on Earth just dicking around.
>>81228403
They've already said that GLs is earth based and HJGLC is space based
I did like EVS's idea that he wants the book to be similar to Englehart/Staton era GL though and EVS is very enthusiastic so hopefully he can improve it
At least fucking Tan is finally gone
>>81228458
>At least fucking Tan is finally gone
The fucking monkeys paw got rid of Tan and got EVS but now Hopeless is on a GL book.Who knows, maybe he'll surprise us all and the book will be good.
>>81228496

Whoops, meant Humphries.
