History

Out-of-Universe History

Following the introduction of Vertigo in 1993, there was an editorial measure to make sure that younger readers didn't mistakenly purchase adult stories after seeing a character make guest appearances in their favorite comics. Because of this, many DCU characters seemed to vanish from continuity while they appeared exclusively in their solo titles.

Despite this, occasional crossover between Vertigo titles was not unheard of, especially within Vertigo's one-shots such asVertigo Jam. Some Vertigo characters did continue to occasionally appear within the mainstream DCU as well, such asBatman andSwamp Thing crossing over in 1995 andDeath appearing inAction Comics in 2010.

Geoff Johns made the concept of the Vertigo Universe an explicit part of continuity during theFlashpoint storyline, where it appeared as analternate timeline next to themainstream DCU and theWildstorm Universe.Pandora uses all of them to create one greater timeline with elements from all three.[10] OnPrime Earth, many of these Vertigo characters reappear as members ofJustice League Dark.[11]

Notes

  • Despite all the John Constantine's original adventures fromSwamp Thing (Volume 2), which were originally set onEarth-One and, afterCrisis on Infinite Earths, onNew Earth, being also part of theVertigo continuity, the first appearance of the Vertigo Universe technically isHellblazer #1.
  • Many stories published byVertigo Comics are creator-driven and appear in their own self-contained universes. They do not traditionally exist in a shared universe. This concept only applies to characters who were formerly in the mainstreamDCU before crossing over.
  • All the events from theSandman continuity, including sequels and spin-offs, technically happen in both theNew Earth and the Vertigo Universe continuities.
  • Dan DiDio stated in aWondercon'08 interview that the Vertigo Universe wasnot part of thePre-Flashpoint52 worlds.[12] Its Earth designation has never been revealed.
