But it was just that: JUSTICE LEAGUE Dark. It was sort of like Paris Hilton or Jessica Simpson trying to pass off as a mysterious and moody Morticia or Elvira with floodlights on a glitzy stage.
Sadly, with the talent and characters involved, I think it could have been one of the best Vertigo titles in years and may even still be running today. If only it was a Vertigo book.
I don't think John and Zatanna's finger-tip sex or Shade's lonely freak-outs would've been any more finger-sexy or lonely freakier if it'd had a Vertigo stripe down the side of the cover.

But, then, some of the most "Vertigo" Hellblazer, Swamp Thing, and Doom Patrol weren't actually Vertigo runs. For me, the banner, the imprint, that's what feels like a sell, a gloss, more than anything.
