A side-note if you read Stormwatch, was there a hint to Demon Knights throw in the story?It seemed the "swordsman" being interrogated revealed a tie-in scene/panel.

Densely plotted book with a lot of different set-ups to chew on in the coming months. Continuity-wise, seems to be pretty much a reboot, so you don't need to know much about StormWatch before hand. Looks like the Jenny Quantum story is one of the few previous threads to survive, but Apollo and the Midnighter's pre-history did not. I'm assuming the Projectionist, the Eminence of Blades and Adam One are new characters. The art was a little hit-and-miss (too much digital enhancement), but seemed to get better as it moved along. Like the potential tie to Cornell's DEMON KNIGHTS as well.

I thought that was a tie-in thrown in there but I couldn't tell as the 'demon' character looked just like a yellow-colored humanoid.

Batgirl was about as poor as all of Gail Simone's other work. Sloppy writing. Dull. Poor imitation of things I've seen others do better before her. Well, at least she's better than Geoff Johns, Kurt Busiek and some of the other hacks DC employs. Swamp Thing and Animal Man I was surprised to like, actually. Since I hold Delanos AM so high and the same with Swamp Thing by Wein/Moore/Veitch. OMAC was really cool. Sad to see Giffen's normal nine panel layout gone, but for a Kirby pastiche, I guess it had to go.

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.
