As much I I love Preacher. Y:TLM wins... You're missing House of Mystery and Haunted Tank

I know, I didn't want to list all the series so I figured I would list all the "big ones" that have 60 or more issues and than have the "other" category, cause I doubt anyone's favorite is a one-shot, though I could be wrong

I myself don't know what to vote yet since I've heard great things about all the ones I haven't read yet and love all the ones I have =/

Preacher was good. Too much language for my tastes, but good none the less.

Transmet was brilliant nuff said.

so many great books but I have to go with 100 bullets the best up and down's i have seen from them.

Pfft hells no, its an awesome comic. just not one of my favs

OMG I'm expected to choose only one? O____O

#30 Posted by Darkchild (38670 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago - Show Bio

I know that sucks dont it. (finally realizes who Dahlia is)

I just picked Transmet cause it was one of my favs.

I gotta say Preacher and 100 Bullets are way outta any ranking system available (can't possibly describe their awesomeness). DMZ is also worth checking, Brian Wood is an awesome writer.

P.S Vertigo's Animal Man was SICK! (but fun, none the less)

#33 Posted by King Saturn (210803 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago - Show Bio

Lucifer baby...

lol

#34 Posted by Methos (40100 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago - Show Bio

i'm torn...

Hellblazer was the first comic i ever bought, but Preacher was so amazingly perfect...

i'll vote Preacher because it is simply one of the most amazing reads ever...

but Hellblazer comes in a close second for me

Fables.The only other ones I read were Transmetropolitan and 100 Bullets and I didn't like either of them.

Really? But... How's that possible? I guess not everybody is into crime-fiction books. About Fables, i've seen issues here and there, but i've never picked it up, is it a great series?

Ooo tough choice, I've read Y: The LastMan, Sandman, and Transmetropolitan, enjoyed all three very much but i had to go with the Transmetropolitan. Amazing story awesome charcters

#39 Posted by TwilightThunder (246 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago - Show Bio

Transmetropolitan FTW! Pure Warren Ellis and Darick Robertson's goodness.

Hell yeah bro

(high fives) Spider has got to be the funniest man in Vertigo comics.

#41 Posted by HobGadling (706 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago - Show Bio

Sandman, of course. Saga of Swamp Thing a distant second.

#42 Posted by TwilightThunder (246 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago - Show Bio

Talking about Sandman (pulp counterpart), has anybody checked the Mistery Theatre paperbacks?

#44 Posted by TwilightThunder (246 posts) - 4 years, 2 months ago - Show Bio

Yes i do. I'm really looking foward to get at least a couple issues. A friend is going to travel in some weeks time so i'll probably overwhelm him with TPBs from my "Wish List"

#45 Posted by Agent355 (66 posts) - 3 years, 10 months ago - Show Bio

For me, it was a toss up between 100 Bullets and Y: The Last Man. I voted for 100 Bullets since it was the series I started reading first and gave me a good baptism by fire, if you will, into non-superhero comics, which I kind of prefer now. Y: The Last Man is still amazing, everyone should read it. But Azz and Risso just gave us something totally original which we'll be talking about for years to come.

#46 Posted by Chaos Agent (2150 posts) - 3 years, 10 months ago - Show Bio

lol most of those series are in my "to read" list

out of those I choose Animal Man, to be fair I haven't read even half of those put above.

So far my all time favorite Vertigo series though is "V for Vendetta"

I just read V for Vendetta earlier this month and loved it, though it's not my favorite I will say.

also, as an honorable mention since it's not on the list: Jack of Fables is hilarious! and it has good storylines! awesome read!

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.
