Vertigo is pretty much the reason I love comics as a medium, don't get me wrong I love me some superhero comics but there's something about the freedom of original ideas for story, characters, universe, and design that allow for writers and artists to flex there creative muscles. Most of the top creators in the business best work are not the titles under superhero imprints. Their most creative efforts have been under Vertigo/Image and a handful of other publishers or even independent.
For awhile there it was looking bleak for Vertigo as a company (à la Karen Berger's exit / Dan Didio comments) but a press release like this give me renewed hope.
Dude Francavilla is the shit, if your not you should totally follow his twitter. He always posts new badass art everyday. He must of made a deal with the devil cause he's always wipping up fantastic artwork like its nothing.
