| 1. Stardust | 
|
By: Neil Gaiman Publisher: Vertigo June 13, 2007
This happens to be one of my favorite movies ever. I think it can be loved by nearly all ages and all types of people. I loved all the actors, and I think Charlie Cox, who was little known before this movie will become a big star. He has an absolutely great smile and great laughter. This is something I hope to see more of in movies because I'm tired of the sour-looks that have seemingly become... more

| 2. Fables Vol. 13: The Great Fables Crossover | 
|
By: Bill Willingham, Matthew Sturges Publisher: Vertigo February 09, 2010
Bill Willingham's "Fables" is the most interesting concept in comics in the last few years. The artwork by is consistently outstanding and for Fables fans that can't get enough, Bill Willingham hit us right between the eyes with the "Jack of Fables" series. Jack Horner, an outcast from Fabletown, is pure living, walking id. Now, comes the "Literals" which are immortal "Genres" such as Fantasy, Science... more

| 3. V for Vendetta | 
|
By: Alan Moore Publisher: Vertigo October 24, 2008
No he doesn't have sex with the girl. It's another type of romance that this masterpiece is. It is not only a great story, but also a well drawn piece of art. I would suggest this to any Alan Moore fan and anarchist. Though it is funny that Guy Fawkes was chosen considering that the general opinion of Guy Fawkes in Britain is not a friendly one... more

| 4. The Sandman Vol. 1: Preludes and Nocturnes | 
|
By: Neil Gaiman Publisher: Vertigo December 07, 1993
The Sandman series is a remarkable set of graphic novels for adult readers. "Preludes and Nocturnes" sets the stage for the series in Neil Gaiman's uniquely creative style. In addition to his own expansive imagination, he draws upon a wide range of mythological allusions to create a new mythology that is every bit as meaningful and self-contained as any "real" mythology such as Judean-Christian... more

| 5. Y: The Last Man, Vol. 1: Unmanned | 
|
By: Brian K. Vaughan Publisher: Vertigo January 02, 2003
Y: The Last Man, truly starts out with a bang. It's bang in fact is more like a nuclear bomb. This book hits hard and hooks you really fast. I read the volume very rapidly, and put reading before breathing. As a concept it reminds me of Kirkman's Walking Dead series. It's nearly post-apocalyptic, because half of the population kicks the bucket. It's so interesting to discover what would life... more

| 6. The Sandman Vol. 2: The Doll's House | 
|
By: Neil Gaiman, Malcolm Jones III, Mike Dringenberg, Michael Zulli, Clive Barker Publisher: Vertigo September 01, 1991
Having established the basis for his world in The Sandman Vol. 1: Preludes and Nocturnes, Gaiman starts to stretch his wings a little, introducing us to more inhabitants of Morpheus's strange world, including some of his siblings, his servants (of a sort), and waking nightmares like The Corinthian. Gaiman ties it all together in a fascinating arc involving a young girl descended from a minor character... more

The Unwritten starts with Tommy Taylor, the son of a famous writer who wrote a series of books about a kid magician called Tommy Taylor. The author named the character of his books after his son. The books are a huge hit in the world, much like Harry Potter and after the thirteenth book the author went missing. Nobody knows where he is.
The first issue introduces the characters smoothly... more

| 9. The Sandman Vol. 3: Dream Country | 
|
By: Neil Gaiman, Malcolm Jones III, Charles Vess, Steve Erickson Publisher: Vertigo September 24, 1991
Taking a break after the sweeping grandeur of The Sandman Vol. 2: The Doll's House, Gaiman creates what is essentially a short story collection, allowing him to play with different ideas and themes within the boundaries of his intricate mythology. As with any short story collection, some of the four stand out more than others, but it's rare to find a collection where none of the pieces truly misfire... more

| 10. Fables Vol. 12: The Dark Ages | 
|
By: Bill Willingham Publisher: Vertigo August 18, 2009
A lot of people probably thought that Gepetto and his empire were taken down a little easily in the previous story arc. I agree, but fortunately Willingham does a nice job of putting the heat right back on them due to some unintended consequences of their victory. We also get a final? resolution to Boy Blue's story. Boy Blue has been a low key hero throughout the book so what happens to him is quite... more
