What old Vertigo series to read?

[FanboyStranger]

I'd recommend Punk Rock Jesus over Joe the Barbarian.

Yeah, me, too, by a wide margin.

Other than Murphy's art, JtB was very disappointing.

Really? I liked the art alright. It's not great, but it is competent and gets the job done.

I may have to revisit it at some point. It was the first Mike Carey series after Lucifer that I was excited about, and I think my expectations may have been too high. I'd probably like it more now with some critical distance. It's also probably unfair to compare Fern's art to Peter Gross' as well. (I liked Fern's stuff well enough in his L.E.G.I.O.N. days filling in for Kitson, but I found it kinda "wooden" for Crossing Midnight.)

These are generally considered good reads as well

Astro city

Ex Machina

The Authority

Pre-Vertigo though.

I like the early issues of the Authority, but that's more the Wildstorm corner of DC, and less Vertigo.
