Vertigo Comics Executive Karen Berger Is Leaving DC Entertainment

by Jill Pantozzi | 11:05 am, December 4th, 2012

Vertigo Comics has been the more serious, adult oriented arm of DC Comics since 1993 and at the very start was Karen Berger. Getting Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman published was just one of this editor’s countless accomplishments at the company, you can also put Hellblazer and V for Vendetta in that group, so it’s with a great deal of disappointment we must report she’s leaving the DC Entertainment altogether.

10 Badass Gay Characters

by Susana Polo and Zoe Chevat (Mostly Zoe Chevat) | 12:30 pm, June 28th, 2011

Before any more messes of movies come out, or new continuity throws us all for a loop, we thought it would be a good idea to round up June doing what half of every major city (and quite a few small ones) on the planet is doing right now; celebrating Gay Pride Month.
