Creator-Owned
In terms of quantity, it is much more common for characters to be creator-owned (or company-licensed) than owned by their publisher. However, in comics two of the biggest publishers worldwide (DC and Marvel) traditionally own all their characters. This page is meant to help distinguish characters that are owned by the creator from those owned by the publisher in cases where it's not immediately obvious.
Vertigo Discussion Thread
" @Lady Tlieso said:Picked up the first 2 issues today, I tend to avoid reviews cause I don;t want anything to get spoiled. :-) I think I shall read them now since I can't sleep." @aztek the lost said:the first post shows my opinions on all the current comics, and G-Man did review Greek Street explaining that it's not for everyone...but yes, I do indeed love Greek Street which was my reason for putting it all in caps :D "" @Chaos Agent said:Since it's in all caps I'm going to assume that Greek Street is good.

Back to reading Preacher, I'm officially at issue 19 (The beginning of "Crusaders") and I might a review a Vertigo comic soon. so go Vertigo!
" People don't know how awesome Vertigo is... "Not enough people, at any rate. It's a bit irritating at times, because I know there are a lot of people on this site who would love a lot of Vertigo titles, but just never get past mainstream superhero books. Some of the best writers in the business have done their best work on Vertigo books.
Agreed." @TheDrifter said:

And to think, people are denied their favorite writer's best stuff because of what they call "Bad Art". I know, I was one of them once.
On a belated note, I just started Sandman (giving this one another go) and The Invisibles (first time).
So it seems that Vertigo has confirmed that all of the original DC characters will return to the DCU, with the obvious exception of John Constantine. It seems this move broke a swamp thing miniseries and has made Madame Xanadu another casualty of Vertigo.
Now I ask, why the change? Is not like if Xanadu could have a chance in DC's line with so much else going on

Y the last man, Preacher, 100 Bullets, The Losers or Transmepolitan? Which one should I try first?
and if bullets ain't in the store which one should I get? I'll wait for transmepolitan to get the re-release
" So there wasn't any of those in the store, I went with Y: the last man. "Can't go wrong with Y. Great series.
