Punchy wrote:Now this was good comics. I’ve never really read much Swamp Thing, only the very early Alan Moore stuff, so I was kind of nervous coming into this, would I be lost? Sucked down into a continuity swamp? Thankfully now, Scott Snyder continues to show why he’s one of the comics industry’s rising stars with probably my favourite DC #1 so far. The narration from Alec Holland is interesting, with some truly interesting insights into plant-life, the guest-appearance from Superman was strong, and the scene where those guys had their heads twisted round was creepy as fuck. Snyder is becoming a master of comic-book horror. Add to that career-best work from Yanick Paquette, and you can’t get much better. I guess I’ll need to track down some more classic Swamp Thing now, because this one has it’s roots in me.
I'm looking forward to this book
