What's the word on American Vampire? I've never read anything from Scott Snyder but I know people say good things about his Batman and I'm always looking for new horror stuff to read.

Are any of the DC Villains one-shots recommended for good self-contained stories? I've only read Count Vertigo since I already read Green Arrow and I'm thinking of picking up the Zod and Lex ones since I'm bout to catch up on the Greg Pak run of Action but I'd be down to pick up some more.

Zod and Doomsday for Pak, Parasite for Aaron Kruder (who does the great art for Pak's Action) and Dial E is the actual last issue of Dial H but can be stand-alone and has an awesome new artist for every page (read Dial H though!)

Arcane, Riddler and Secret Society were also good, but they really tie-in to their larger things, Swamp Thing, Zero Year and Forever Evil.

Even though I've got a boner for Soule comics, I didn't think Lex was any good.

Looks like I'll be picking up those first four then, thanks!

e: I noticed Pak also wrote the Darkseid issue but you're not recommending it. Is it because its bad or does it tie in too much to other stuff too?

I'd give it a go. It was a very different origin take that pissed people off, but I can't recall the quality of the story.
I think it referred to the first arc of Justice League a little.

Cool, I picked it up so we'll see. I picked up the Charles Soule run on Swamp Thing (including Arcane) thanks in part to your recommendation so thanks a lot!

Cool. It's excellent, but if you've not followed Snyder's run you might be lost on the Arcane issue. It's a capper to what happened there instead of tying into the current run. Soule's Swamp Thing actually picks up pretty fresh and doesn't require back-reading.

Oh well, it was only 2 bucks so its ok. I've been trying to get back onto DC stuff since I stopped when G-Mo left Action Comics so series like Green Arrow and Swamp Thing having jump-in points with writers I'm familiar with seems to be the perfect excuse to do it.
