 A little vertigo, but not a bomb - Arts
Some fans have murmured that the band was selling out by having one of its songs turned into a commercial theme, while others were worried the song foreshadowed the album mirroring U2's failed attempt at being an up-beat rock band in the '90s.
However, upon listening to the entire album (and skipping "Vertigo" every time), I found first impressions aren't all they're cracked up to be.
U2 has never been a band to simply go with what works, but it finally seems to have figured out how to balance its desire for experimentation with the popular brand of music that it is known for.

I don't blame Vertigo for not collecting his work, but it is a bit of a tragedy, as his writing at least on the level of the best of British noir (Derek Raymond, Ted Lewis, etc.) The main problem is that he doesn't always write stories that easily fit into graphic novel form.
Copies of the trade are still available on Amazon and I strongly encourage fans of noir thrillers, atmospheric art, and carefully crafted characters to trawl the back-issue bins and give this a try.
