Vertigo Picks: Winter's Edge & The Alcoholic
I thought I'd squeeze this in before the month ends (which is today)since I haven't really done much blogs for July (like you guys would really notice *smirk*)Anyways, I've been looking over some of my posts the past months and to my surprise I found out that I haven't put in much Vertigo (which is really a DC imprint)stuff, which I find really surprising coz one of my favorite graphic novels (that would be another fancy way of saying comic books!) was done by Vertigo! It's none other than Y: The Last Man of course! I think I have links for that too, which you can find below under Vaughan's Volumes. Well, to remedy this, here are a pair of must-reads to get you started on reading Vertigo titles more often: (I'll do some brief review on each later on)

DC Essential: New Krypton arcs
I rarely post DC comics here, I think this is my first one actually so that tells you the type of storylines that appeal to me and what I consider as recommended reads. And, this 2008 crossover "saga" (from Action, Superman and Supergirl comics) of what happens after Superman frees the entire city of Kandor (from Brainiac)and thereby liberating its 100,000 "Super men and women" including Supergirl's parents Zor-el and Alura (who acts as leaders of the newly liberated city) is a definite must-read! Mass paranoia and xenophobia ensues, reminiscent of Rising Stars by JMS as Earth is suddenly deluged by 100,000 Supermen/women (who are not exactly, and expectedly as well-adjusted and well-meaning as Clark). Written by James Robinson (who took over Johns), Sterling Gates and Geoff Johns, the multi-title crossover arcs can be downloaded and read separately below:
