Good move... There's room for both lines:
Black Label - Adult comics with DC mainstream characters.
Vertigo - Adult comics outside the DC universe.

A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.
Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.
There is only one rule:*
Comic Books is a no judgement zone.
You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.
If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.
* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(
I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

Hell yeah, I'll be interested in both, good to hear!
About time. They should never have binned it in.the first place. However, without a better contract, I can't see it attracting creator's best work - Vertigo thrived before Image upped the ante on creator-owned work.
It had a lot to do with Warner Bros wanting to use more IP in their movies. When the execs found out that most Vertigo titles were creator owned, they had their lawyers rework the contracts so WB could retain ownership of the works, which caused a mass exodus of talent. Dark Horse and Image picked up most of the talent.
That's it, if they don't improve the contract they aren't going to get many takers.
It's Interesting that this coincides with a change of management - looks like they are rethinking their bad decisions. I wonder if they could tempt Karen Berger and Shelly Bond back.
