What's stupid and offensive about the Marvel Divas idea is that in a world with so few books about female superheroes when they finally do one it's not about being a superhero at all, but some dumbass Sex & The City take-off complete with an asinine title. You don't see them doing a Two And A Half Men book with Power Man and Iron Fist and calling it "Marvel Dudes."
@bitsytimelord: I haven't read Angel since "After The Fall" ended. It just seemed like the perfect way to leave my favorite characters. Is Aftermath worth reading? Every great story has to have a great ending, and I don't want the Angel franchise to be extended just for financial reasons.
@franklinshepard: I feel awful saying this but Aftermath is not necessary and, while I like Kelley Armstrong, this was not her best work. However Brian Lynch is back tomorrow with a one shot Gunn/Illyria story that looks to be awesome which will be followed by a two-part Drusilla arc and then a monthly Spike book all written by Brian Lynch. I'm not sure about Angel's story yet but I believe an official announcement will be made at SDCC.
@bitsytimelord: I'm always singing the praises of Locke & Key, but Irredeemable has been absolutely stunning. That scene in issue two, where Plutonian is "revealed" to his co-workers was chilling stuff.
Sorry to say this, but nothing here interests me. I was a faithful reader of many of Vertigo's titles when the imprint first premiered (hail "Shade the Changing Man"!), but a lot of Vertigo's recent titles start strong and then wear out quickly. And their standalone hardcovers have been junk -- that's a harsh assessment, I know.
DMZ, their best title in recent years, has been treading downward -- it may become an unfortunate casualty of the fact that Obama won the Presidency. Its scenario has lost its sense of urgency because of this recent real-world event.

I'm looking forward to what they come up with.
