Line 8: This had the knock-on effect of pretty much excising certain characters from the main DCU, for fear that a [[John Constantine]] and [[Batman]] crossover [[What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?\|would encourage little kids to pick up]] ''[[Hellblazer]]''. This means that certain comics, though still technically part of the DCU, are [[Exiled From Continuity\|unable to do "proper" crossovers]] or acknowledge that connection directly. This is relaxed occasionally for one-panel cameos (Constantine in ''[[Hitman]]''), characters whose comics have ended (Daniel from ''[[The Sandman]]'' appeared in ''JLA'', while [[Animal Man]] and the [[Comicook/Doom Patrol\|Doom Patrol]] have come back to [[The DCU]] full-time) and characters who have always straddled the divide between the two ([[The Phantom Stranger]], Zatanna, et al). DC's 2011 partial [[Continuity Reboot]] brought several characters like Constantine and Swamp Thing back into the main DC continuity fold. The Vertigo-only ''Hellblazer'' will still continue to be published separately. DC shut down the Vertigo imprint in January 2020. Their mature titles moved to the [[DC Black Label]] imprint, which started publishing in 2018 - except for ''[[The Sandman]]'', which got its own imprint, "[[The Sandman Universe]]". ~~These days, the number of DCU-connected titles is fairly low, and Vertigo's output is mostly creator-owned original works. These are often horror, fantasy, or a combination of the two.~~ ---- Some of the best-known series published by Vertigo include: Line 27 ⟶ 28: * ''[[IZOMBIE\|I Zombie]]'' * ''[[The Losers]]'' * ''[[Lucifer (~~Comic Book~~comics)\|Lucifer]]'' * ''[[Madame Xanadu]]'' * ''[[Preacher (Comic Book)]]'' Line 44 ⟶ 45: ---- Some Vertigo series ~~are~~were technically part of [[The DCU]], due to using DCU characters, and [[Word of God]] says the [[The Verse\|shared universe]] titles like ''[[Hellblazer]]'' and ''[[The Sandman]]'' ~~ARE~~''are'' part of the mainstream [[The DCU\|DCU]]. However, not all of them are always [[Canon]] for the DCU characters, and some of them effectively take place in a world of their own. These include: * ''[[Animal Man]]'' Line 70 ⟶ 71: * ''[[Zatanna]]: Everyday Magic'' Many other Vertigo series ~~feature~~featured re-imagined DCU characters and concepts in a context outside the DC Universe itself. These include: * ''[[Beware The Creeper]]'' * ''[[Deadman (Comic Book)\|Deadman]]'' Line 80 ⟶ 81: * ''[[The Witching Hour]]'' Vertigo comics which ~~are~~were not associated with the DC Universe at all include: * ''[[100 ~~Bullets\|One Hundred~~ Bullets]]'' * ''[[American Splendor]]'' * ''[[American Vampire]]'' Line 105 ⟶ 106: [[Category:index]] [[Category:Vertigo Comics]] [[Category:Pages with working Wikipedia tabs]]
