Luke Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Vinyl Underground Has anyone else been reading this Vertigo title? When I first heard about it, I suspected that it might turn out to be a 'cool' Hellblazer rip-off, but I was pleasently surprised by the first issue. The portrayel of Britain, and London in particular, as this urban sprawl of cool cynicism and crime where every character is a master of sarcasm has always irked me, but I can deal. The first issue had a gentle mix of characterisation and plot, and convinced me that the series has a lot of potential. I haven't got around to looking at the second issue yet, but I'll have my thoughts on it in a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 I bought the first issue for Jenny, 'cause it seemed like something she'd like. But she hasn't gotten around to reading it yet. Me, I've only flipped through it. The opening scene wasn't what I expected out of the book, so I set it aside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 I checked out the preview on DCcomics.com and was totally unimpressed. A Vertigo book with enough gall to have a character named Morrison whose nickname is Mr. Filth had better be damned good. It was not. It looked subpar to me.

Leon Thomas Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Bought the first issue. I have dubbed it a goofy sex murder comic. Pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
