5 Essential Vertigo Comics That Should Become TV Shows

As a long-time comic fan, I’ve been thrilled to see so much renewed interest in Vertigo lately. Though DC eventually moved away from the Vertigo name itself with the Black Label, it’s clear the spirit of those books is back. We saw it with the fantastic The Nice House on the Lake from James Tynion IV in 2024, and it feels like the success—even with some mixed reactions—of shows like Preacher and Y: The Last Man paved the way. Now, with James Gunn and Pete Jackson developing a V for Vendetta series for HBO, it’s clear there’s still a huge demand for Vertigo’s stories. Luckily, Vertigo built up an amazing library of original comics that just feel perfect for the kind of high-quality TV we’re seeing now.
