1. Swamp Thing Returns To The DC Universe. And He's Bringing His Friends

A nice big scoop there to start last week with. Reaction has been thoroughly mixed, some seeing it as the end of Vertigo, some thinking it's about time, some asking why we can't have the best of both worlds like Marvel manages with The Punisher?
