This is the kind of question better asked on the Discussions. Nevertheless, I'll answer it a bit here.
 * Vertigo is an imprint, founded 1993 and to be shut down next year. It has a combination of more adult stories in the DC Universe, as well as multiple self-standing titles. When people say "read Vertigo", they usually mean Swamp Thing, Green Arrow and Hellblazer.
 * Read them from what beginning? 1938? 1986? 2011? 2016? Those are the major reboot entry points. DC publishes 50-ish comics a month. Sturgeon's law applies: 90% of them is crap. Nobody reads all the titles, there's simply not enough money and time to do that. There's definitely not enough money and time to catch up.
 * You don't learn about DC Comics if you read everything. You only learn to hate it.
 * When you ask for recommends on the Discussions... a word of warning. Many people are fans of a particular character, and by now have extensive lists of storylines they recommend. Enough to bankrupt you. I recommend thinking of a character, team or genre you wish to learn more about, and ask for recommendations on them.
