How is It Decided?

Whether a character's publisher is Vertigo or DC?

I mean, most choices are quite simple...but say this character for example, Doctor Occult, although most of the comics he is in are indeed DC, he is more at home in Vertigo and most of the DC comics he is in, concern Vertigo-type characters and concepts...so...which one would he be?

How about Animal Man?

His own series was published by Vertigo but everything else is DC?

#17 Posted by Darkchild (38676 posts) - 4 years, 7 months ago - Show Bio

DC, appeared first in DC. He only had a Vert mini cause well...hes awesome.

I could see him work alot more into Vertigo titles on his own rather than travelling with Kori and Adamn. But what ever floats DCs boat i guess.

hmmmm. Alright that does change a few things, I never read the Vertigo title he was in so I assumed like most DC to Vert it was a mini.

But i really dont think its up to the character on which publisher it goes to. It pertains to the stories that will be told, DC tends to shy away from overly adult storylines. yes their are some deep stuff within DC but not too often the same kind that you see within Vertigo.

hmm, okay then...well, I want to read that Vertigo series anyways, seeing as that NerdMan user said it was his favorite Vertigo series and he is a self-proclaimed Vertigo nut

but I always thought Animal Man seemed..."kiddish" by his appearance

A Character isn't simply mainstream DC or Vertigo DC, it's the storylines that are moved to one universe or the other...

for example, John Constantine from the Hellblazer comics has several ties in the Vertigo universe as that is where his comics are mainly published, but he also has several ties in the mainstream DC universe where he has been an important part in several major events and backstories.

the same can be said with Swamp Thing who has major plotlines and story arcs in both DC Mainstream and Vertigo. If you actually look at the Hellblazer TPB's you will see that some (About 70%) are Vertigo labled while the rest are simply labled with the blue DC Logo.

they both are...

as i explained, the characters are used in both and not solely Vertigo or DC Mainstream...

I'm quite happy with the storylines involving Constantine and Swamp Thing that are solely DC Mainstream titles, but again i love the Vertigo stuff...

Vertigo

Vertigo is an imprint of DC Comics suggested for mature readers and is a continuity separate from the DC Universe that has included Sandman, Swamp Thing, John Constantine (Hellblazer) and many others. However, nowadays the imprint is mostly focused upon creator-owned material.
