Vertigo Universe
Recommended Reading Order - 198 Entries
|
Vertigo is a DC publishing imprint often thought of as the dark underbelly of the DCU. Many of the early Vertigo titles are firmly set in the DC Universe, like Alan Moore‘s Swamp Thing or Grant Morrison‘s Animal Man, but later titles may start linked and then seem to become self contained. This list does not contain entirely self contained titles, but does contain some mainstream DC titles that are important to titles with the Vertigo imprint, like Deadman.
