There was Weird War Tales, Weird Western Tales, Gangland (crime stories), Heart Throbs (romance, usually with a weird twist), and Flinch (an ongoing series, with a horror theme). And maybe one or two others (Strange Adventures?); I'm not sure. They featured collaborations by the usual Vertigo writers and artists (sometimes in some interesting combinations), like Brian Azzarello, Mike Carey, Grant Morrison, Peter Milligan, Eduardo Risso, Frank Quitely, Richard Corben, Tim Bradstreet, Philip Bond and many others. I enjoy these quite a bit, and I've picked up as many as I've been able to find. I'll try to do a roundup on my blog someday.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13867868039166531163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042008.post-35179907205875006082007-04-12T12:29:00.000-04:002007-04-12T12:29:00.000-04:00I love the Iron Man armor.

Quitely and Morrison were the only reason I got it an no one else jumped out at me. Azzerello -- that is not spelled correctly -- has a story in it. <BR/><BR/>Craig: I know it is six and not four issues; the problem is not my counting it is my grammar: I wrote "I do not know if their run will be interrupted, or is only supposed to be four issues long" -- when I said "their" I meant I do not know if the Morrison-Ha issues (issues 1-4) are being interupted by Gage-Robertson, to continue in 11 or if the four issues of Morrison-Ha was the whole thing. Sorry about that. My bad.<BR/><BR/>I did not even read the Brubaker and have no idea who Rose Tattoo is.Geoff Klockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09080580776997273785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042008.post-86288108953970487832007-04-12T00:42:00.000-04:002007-04-12T00:42:00.000-04:00I have mixed feelings about Auhtority 5-10 (that's...I have mixed feelings about Auhtority 5-10 (that's six issues, not four). Have not read much of Gage's work, but Darick Robertson is drawing it, so maybe ... Still, Gage does seem inspired by the possibilities of the Wildstorm Universe. The story will take place after Brubaker's run and explain the current absence of Rose Tattoo, as if that's very important.<BR/><BR/>I suppose that Morrison is busy with his film work. There's a review of Morrison's screenplay for WE3 online.
