EDITORS’ LETTER

Have you ever felt like an individual swimming in a sea of same-ness? Maybe you’ve felt alienated by how you dressed or the way you spoke?

This issue in itself can be considered an ‘Anomaly’ – something against the norm. Now that the normalities of printing Vertigo for 2022 have been officially canned for the rest of the year, we turn to the anomalous digital format which you don’t hold in your hands today.

Despite this, we would like to extend our gratitude and thanks to all of those who have supported us this year. To those who have been collecting physical copies, we are sorry your collections are now seemingly unfinished.

This issue explores the weirder side of reality. We’re talking “have-you-ever-seen-me-without-this stupid-hat-on?-I’m-weird weird.” The things that deviate from the typical trends, standards, and thoughts.

Yes, in ‘Anomaly’ we are talking about the digital landscape, the afterlife, and jade eggs being placed where?!? We want you take a step into another world and reconsider the conventions that confine your reality.

(Psst! This is also the election issue!)

So dive in, read the weird, and welcome a new perspective.

Lots of love, Vertigo 2022
