I started reading it and enjoying it a lot but doesn't feel like a DC comic. It feels more like Image than DC, am I the only one who feels this way?

In terms of story and plot, sure. But in terms of quality of the comic book (i.e. Cover stock, paper quality, ads littered throughout), it doesn't even resemble an image book
Because readers want Image, since DC destroyed Vertigo?
I've been wondering if i should get that book.
Is it good?

Maybe that's because the number of sales for that title through Diamond here in the U.S. are more like the numbers for an Image or Vertigo comic book?

And yet Vertigo is releasing 12 new creator owned projects. The only difference between Vertigo and Image is that Vertigo's TV/movie rights belong to wb for the first few years.
If by destroyed, you mean vertigo stopped releasing DC owned properties - AKA, Swamp Thing, Hellblazer, The Sandman, Madame Xanadu, Black Orchid, The Books of Magic, House of Mystery, Sandman Mystery Theatre, The Haunted Tank, Unknown Soldier, then yes DC did destroy vertigo. Except not because their more edgy projects are being released under DC banner.
Well, the book indeed has an "indie" feel that you can usually see in Image comics and other companies outside of the Big 2.
Is it good though? I would say yes for the most part. It's a completely over-the-top satire that targets politics and social issues, and it does an entertaining job at it. However, sometimes you can't help but feel that it's a bit biased in its own concept trying to make its side look good despite of how stupid it can be while also presenting the opposition as dumb as possible and thus creating a "strawman" scenario (which I frankly detest). Not only that but it also seems to be too dependant and proud of its own style that feels pompous at times.
Still, is definitely an interesting experience that can be enjoyed despite of some problems.
