Grant Morrison, Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, Peter Milligan, Jamie Delano, Garth Ennis, Warren Ellis.

Having just read Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing for the first time, I think a lot of the attempts of modern discourse around that run to describe exactly what it is or why it’s good are inadequate. I mean this in the best possible way: Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing was 100% completely not what I expected.

[@NearMintCondition]

There is no way to put it in words how good it is.

[@jawnsushi]

I saw that Alan Moore's run starts at issue 20, I think. How necessary do you think it is to read the previous 19?

[@Justegarde]

Praetor7 Not super important. Only thing you need to really know is who Anton Arcane is going into Moore’s first issue, and Swamp Thing’s origin. After that, he does his own thing.

You know vertigo is the one company I've wanted to read several books from like preacher and especially swamp thing and sandman but I've never had the chance or ability to get their books. I was lucky and read Y the last man digitally, it was an amazing series.

I just read daytripper and wow what an amazing heartfelt read. I feel like this is going to be a great book to buy because if you read it every couple years you’ll get something new out of it. It displays how important family, friends, and enjoying life to the fullest is. It’s writing is extremely well done and makes you stop every page and think about life in general. Loved it

Your welcome my dude. Did you see the new release list on IST for Marvel titles? The list runs from June to sometime in November.

[@davidpressley5653]

Yeah definitely preacher really Define my face in certain thing. The way I got into the series was I was reading this vertigo trade that had the first issues. I forgot what it was called. And I decided at my local comic book store at the time to check out the series. It blew me away how good the series was for me. I just was in pure shock how the artwork was on point. The story definitely was something we haven't seen before in my opinion. From start to finish I really cared about their journey and trying to find God. And make him answer for what do you thought I really enjoyed the issues where Jesse Custer talk with his dad's best friend during Vietnam. In the stories were so creative I mean they were funny but at the same time it really got you the reality of war from his perspective on things because if you read the Series. If you have not I suggest you read the series because it is crazy. It was crazy how these characters felt so realistic. This has to be in my eye the best series ever to go for me it just took me just someplace the really captivated by the characters even learning about Jesse backstory I broke down and cried. I felt so horrible Jesse Custer That his imaginary friend kind of gone through that and if you read the series you know who I am taking about a certain famous figure. This has to be a 10 out 10 of that type of series. Rest in peace Steve Dillon a Genius

I still find myself unreasonably upset by the recolouring of Swamp Thing. When I first read that it was going to be "remastered" I feared for the worst, and it still managed to disappoint.

You owe it to yourself to read Fables. The first arc is a little rough, but starting with the second arc, Animal Farm, you'll be hooked.

[@TruckSawdust]

If I had to make a top 10 favorite comics of all time, I could literally fill it with just Vertigo titles. Surprisingly the big daddy of them all, Sandman didn't do anything for me; I'm not ashamed to say it just went over my head. I did enjoy some of the artwork, but that's not enough for it to make my list. Y the Last Man started out really strong, but for me it completely fizzled out at the end; I'm not a person to get overly involved emotionally, so it didn't work from that standpoint either. Still, the imprint is going to be sorely missed... The order my top 10 comes in is really hard to pin down because my favorites swap all the time . But when I look at my favorite Vertigo books, I notice I'm really attracted to anti-heroes and flawed protagonists. My top 10; 1. Hellblazer - the one that started it all. For over 300 issues (that's counting miniseries), John Constantine's adventures had me feverishly turning the page whenever another paperback dropped. for a lot of people the go-to run on the title is usually the Ennis one, but my favorite run on the title would probably be Paul Jenkins/Sean Philips. 2. Fables - the most brilliant premise of a comic, probably ever. Often immitated but never surpassed, the book by Bill Willingham and Mark Buckingham (plus an all-star line up of talented artists) may have overstayed its welcome somewhat, but should be mandatory reading. 3. Preacher - still one of Ennis' finest hours. I'm not a religious man in the slightest, but the brutality and the black humor make this a favorite. I actually prefer the smaller hardcovers over the absolute editions; the smaller size is a better fit for Dillon's art. Punisher MAX is my favorite comic by Ennis, but this comes a close second. 4. DMZ - one of the biggest surprises ever was this book by Wood and Burchielli. I'm not into poilitics or any type of war story really, but somehow this got to me. A heavily flawed protagonist (Matty Roth), a great setting and a whole range of interesting characters made this one of my most intriguing reads. 5. Scalped - what I said about DMZ could just as well go for Scalped; the setting and the characters are what make this book the great read it is. Might be my favorite in terms of artwork. It's weird how your sympathies for certain characters change; at the end I almost did a 360 on Dash and Red Crow, and the ending is downbeat as hell... 6. American Vampire (Skinner Sweet: 'nuff said. Please finish the series, Scott Snyder) 7. 100 Bullets (come fo the artwork, stay for the story) 8. Transmetropolitan (if I had the guts, I would be Spider for Halloween, but that means shaving my head) 9. Death - the Time of Your Life (the character that transcended Sandman) 10. Swamp Thing by Alan Moore (horror masterpiece, and although I kept the hardcovers the Absolute isn't that bad, really)

Great list and Death High Cost of Living is one of my favorite stories.

[@bubblejazzmav7252]

Hi Omar! Great review of your Top 10 Vertigo books. I agree with your inspired choices which I too own and have read on several occasions, however you did miss out "PLANETARY" by Warren Ellis. With regards to SANDMAN, it deserves it's no #1. status. I think it has been released several times in some high quality formats from Deluxe to Library to Omnibus & Absolute edition. My recommendation, which I have mentioned to you before would be the 70 issues series SANDMAN MYSTERY THEATRE by Matt Wagner, Steven T. Seagle & Guy Davis. These comics were absolute quality! My only concern would be that DC Vertigo have still not released this title in any Deluxe hardcover, Omnibus or Absolute edition. Which I consider to be a grave injustice to these fine stories. Any reason why Omar? It's so frustrating when you hold a title in high regard and yet it never gets given the royal treatment it richly deserves.

[@NearMintCondition]

Oh good point in bringing up Planetary. Its weird because I see that as a Wildstorm book. I don't know why. Sandman Mystery Theatre is one of my most wanted omnis.

I have read a few of these books (namely Lucifer, Sandman, Swamp Thing, Y The Last Man and Animal Man) but only in Digital format 😔. VERTIGO comics are one of the best. Thank you Omar for more Great Suggestions. Would love if you could do one for WildStorm comics as well.

Thank you so much for the kind words and watching.

One series no one talks about is scalped. It's literally the Wire/BB/Deadwood in comic form.

I hope in a reprint of Transmetropolitan not in absolute format because i dont have the space to put it :|

[@jimmyowens5415]

I'd love to have transmet in some sort of compendium for us guys who don't have much money.

[@andrepaul3483]

Still need to read some Vertigo books lol. The top 10 I wanna see from you is top 10 Batman stories

[@NearMintCondition]

Oh that’s a great idea.

Maybe it's just me but whenever I read something by the big name Brits for Vertigo I always felt like "What am I missing" I liked the stories but not enough to want to run out and grab collections or want to re-read. I have the Animal Man dlx hc's on my list of books I might try but am reluctant because it's Morrison. If the man that put me off wanting to try Invincibles wrote Animal Man and Doom Patrol do I even want to try? Books I do love from Vertigo though: 100 Bullets, Scalped, Sweet Tooth, Daytripper, and Punk Rock Jesus(Almost half the Dlx HC is bonus material and I love how I went from having no interest in reading the singles about a clone of Jesus to being totally intrigued about a clone of Jesus meets The Truman show goes Punk Rock literally. And Sean Gordon Murphy...come on what's not to like about his art!) Great list though and I hope someday Black Label sees fit to give Astro City a collection that I would be all over!

[@NearMintCondition]

Astro City is a must!

So.. all my favourite graphic novels and comics are vertigo's. I had no clue.

I got the Fables deluxe editions volumes 1 & 2 after watching this video and I am loving it! I was looking buy the next two volumes and it seems that volume 4 is not available anywhere. Plus it going for crazy prices on eBay. Any idea if we will get a reprint. And thanks for all the great recommendations :)

[@NearMintCondition]

Thank you for watching. Right now it's showing out of print.

[@rrg7675]

@@NearMintCondition Thanks!

[@Synystercole]

I’d personally add The Wake by Scott Snyder/Sean Murphy and The Filth by Grant Morrison/Chris Weston. But that’s just me. Great list though!

[@NearMintCondition]

I did like Filth and the Wake, there is just so much goodness.

[@Synystercole]

Near Mint Condition I can agree with that! Narrowing it down to just a top 10 must have been nearly impossible!

[@nerlmarchetto]

I am surprised that you haven't included Ex-Machina by Vaughn!

[@NearMintCondition]

I liked it, but to me Pride and Y were better books. That's just my opinion.
