Ashley is a writer with a passion and focus for comics and film.
Summary In 2018, DC Comics launched its Black Label line of comics, an imprint designed to take over for Vertigo as the company's home of mature stories. Beginning with Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo's Batman Damned, the imprint has prioritized deep storytelling, beloved creative teams and genre diversity.
American Vampire 1976 sports some of the best artwork from the Black Label imprint, and its dissociation from the core DCU offers a fresh universe for readers to sink their teeth into. The 10-part series offers up an action-fueled, emotional story that sees its vampire protagonist rediscover the value of humanity.
8 Fables: The Black Forest Bill Willingham, Mark Buckingham and Steve Leialoha Close Bill Willingham's Fables universe stood out among the best out-of-continuity DC series of the 2000s, telling the story of a world based on classic fairy tales and legends. In 2022, the series returned for a 12-issue limited run with a story that focuses on a new threat from the Black Forest, centering around characters like Bigby, Snow White and Rose Red in Fabletown.
6 Rogues Joshua Williamson and Leomacs Close Rogues focuses on Flash's team of villains in retirement, each of them living mundane, unfulfilling lives that leave them nostalgic about their glory days. In a bid for one last shot at fame and fortune, Leonard Snart gets the team back together for one last job: a gold heist in Gorilla City. Unfortunately, that sets them on a collision course with Gorilla Grodd, who now rules the city they intend to loot.
The Last God is a masterful blend of high fantasy, Lovecraftian terror and Dungeons and Dragons-style quests, delivering readers a fantastically creepy adventure. Published between 2019 and 2021, the series is perfect for fans of RPG board games, as well as people who just want to enjoy a fantasy story in the vein of The Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones.
Aquaman: Andromeda borrows from science fiction classics like The Abyss, Sphere and 2001: A Space Odyssey, throwing in an element of cosmic horror and existential terror. The 2022 miniseries shows just how terrifying and under-utilized the mysterious undersea world of Aquaman is, casting him in one of his most interesting stories to date.
