I'm not really a Vertigo guy (though I enjoy Y The Last Man and
Fables), but doesn't the line represent a more adult, mature approach
to comics? Why *couldn't* Superman work (well I guess that would be
theoretical, as DC isn't likely to publish anything about Superman
that is too drastic a departure from his traditional characterization,
as evidenced by all the Elseworlds versions of the character, which
usually stay fairly true to who Supes is)?

--Imagine what someone could do if given carte blanche on a Vertigo
version of Wonder Woman? Given how enjoyable the mythological aspects
of Fables are, I can easily see a WW book having immense potential.
