I love the entire line. DC did a great thing when they brought horror comics back into their mainstream.

I cannot wait to read Dial H.

I think it is great that DC is integrating these comics in April and May. I hope that it drives sales higher for the lesser read comics like I, Vampire and Resurrection Man.

I dont know many of these titles, but I am excited for Demon Knights.

Question though: I've heard that Swamp Thing and Animal Man are must reads. Should I bother reading them? or no?

I'm excited for all of these except for I Vampire, Demon Knights, and Resurrection Man.

JLD is in good hands with Jeff Lemire, Dial H looks good and creepy, and I can't freaking wait for the Animal Man/Swamp Thing crossover.

Resurrection Man is the best DC title that people aren't reading.
