DC Comics has shut down Vertigo, running since 1993 as a base for its Mature Readers books and quickly becoming a major part of the industry and my own pull list. Home to imports like The Sandman and Hellblazer, and Transmetropolitan after the brief Helix imprint, its trade marker was a sign of something worth checking out. Founding editor Karen Berger now has her own imprint at Dark Horse.
DC is also shutting Zoom and Ink, to move to age advisory labels with a children and young adult focus featuring a lot of superhero-adjacent stuff - including new Amethyst, and... young Johnny Constantine?
Lately plenty of Vertigo-ish titles have been coming from DC without the label. So hopefully this is the end of a chapter, not the story.
