Welcome to your Saturday afternoon ten-to-takeaway of the more popular post of the past week that have caught your discerning eye. Everything from Scott Snyder’s successful new Kickstarter to new that Swamp Thing is returning to the goggle box and everything in between too. So, Let’s begin shall we?
