Vertigo launched in January 1993 under editor Karen Berger. It grew out of DC’s earlier”Suggested for Mature Readers titles from the 1980s, such as Swamp Thing, Hellblazer, Animal Man, Doom Patrol, Sandman and Shade, the Changing Man. Early Vertigo books included both DC Universe-adjacent series and original creator-participant titles such as Preacher, Fables, 10-0 Bullets and Transmetropolitan. Vertigo was relaunched in 2024 as DC Vertigo, with Executive Editor Chris Conroy, who also oversees Black Label, leading it. The revival positions Vertigo primarily as the home for wholly original, creator-participant stories outside the DC Universe.
New York Comic Con 2026 is underway right now at the Javits Center in New York City. It marks the event’s 20th anniversary, with a Coney Island theme that includes related collaborations, merch, and performances. Organised by ReedPop, NYCC is the East Coast’s largest pop culture convention, covering comics, movies, TV, anime, gaming, cosplay, books, and more. It features a show floor with exhibitors, Artist Alley, panels/screenings, celebrity guests, signings/photo ops, gaming areas, Family HQ, and cosplay events. And it happens just as Marvel Comics announces it is leaving the city… Special thanks to Chris Anton.
