Jeff Lemire's reimagining of HG Wells' classic The Invisible Man goes to show you that YARM is not just about Holywood taking my fave films and doing their krappy remakes and/or reboots as you can see even comic books have been infected with "vscuum brain" a phenonema that artists get when they have no ideas and go out and steal other folks art to make their own.
sorry even though the cover of this looks cool i do in fact despise any remakes/reboots and to me it is even worse when small artists can not come up with original ideas.
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.

Also, something called "Hot Moms #12," which I'm sure will win all sorts of Eisners...

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