Saga Of The Swamp Thing

[Bazooka Tooth]

Vol 1. till the end...issit good? I'm putting this on my 'Must Obtain' list if it's recommended by most of you here.

i read the reviews on Amazon, they seemed pretty cool. What about you guys?

Issue #20 is the beginning of Moore's run, IMO the best Swamp Thing has ever been.

You'll probably hear that alot. :)

[Mr. Palmer]

Defintely get them.

And see if your emotions don't get affected by some of the stories...

[Bazooka Tooth]

I see it being labeled under horror and such. Issit supposed to be scary or what?

[Mr. Palmer]

I'd say it's more gothic horror. Very subtle.

For those interested, M'nagalah just showed up again in The All-New Atom #3.

hmm Vol1 is not saga of the Swamp thing, its the older 70s series Swamp Thing by Lein Wein and Wrightson (at least the 10 first issues)

[Mr. Palmer]

I think he meant Volume 1 of the Saga trades.

But the Wrightson material is great, too.

[Bazooka Tooth]

Ouh word? I'll go check em out pretty soon. I remember watching the show for swamp thing back then, so now i'm gonna try and read the comics. I hope it's real good.

You cannot go wrong with Moore Swamp Thing. And as far as the horror classification, "The Nukeface Papers" was one of the most disturbing storylines I remember reading. It takes a number of very deep-seated fears (contagion, the nuclear threat, etc.), and combines them. The last page is creepy as hell.

I would get the Moore Swamp Thing well before the Max Punisher stuff.

If you read absolutely nothing but the most genius, top-tier work first, though, you've nowhere to go but down.

ahh yeah, i suppose there's gotta be some sort of balance. but Punisher Max's not bad though. I kinda like it.

I love Punisher MAX, just as I love most of Ennis's work. I have the 1st Hardcover and the next 3 trades. It's great, great stuff.

But it's no Alan Moore Swamp Thing.

I just got the first one i think, In The Beginning. Starts a tad slow, but i believe the story will pick up in the coming episodes. It's pretty much got me all berserk tho. Punisher's a badass under Ennis's work.

What he got hit by a bus the day after he visited the comic store and read his comics? HUH? :)
