I have to agreed that ANIMAL MAN and SWAMP THING are the two best of the NuDC I've read so far. Both do read like Vertigo titles. More importantly, they read like early Vertigo...like before the actual Vertigo imprint was even created. That was when the books were at their best, still connected to the DC Universe and doing "sophisticated suspense" (for lack of a better term). Once the Vertigo brand got going these books and the others devolved into the pretentious hipster neo-Goth gobbly-%@*@ that makes up the Vertigo line today.  

  
"hipster neo-Goth gobbly-%@*@" like Fables, the recently completed Jack of Fables, Sweet Tooth, Scalped, Northlanders, Daytripper, DMZ, Unwritten, and New York Five? Or is it that iZombie and American Vampire qualify because they involve the supernatural?

I think by "today" you may have meant "eight years ago".
