Looks good, very moody and atmospheric. It's nice to see that a lot of the Dark books carry over that Vertigo/Horror comic tone.
Glad to see the Parliament will be back, too. They're an important part of the mythology and I'd have hated for the series to lose that.
I really wish that this and Animal Man came out on different weeks and were both twice-monthly, that way we'd get a book from this corner of the DC Dark imprint every week! But as it stands we get Red/Green overload the first week of the month and nothing the rest of the time (though the Animal Man Annual last week was a nice treat).
Definitely going to have to go pick this up. I dropped it after #8 but this new arc is looking really good.

I said I'd drop this after last issue...but this preview is very tempting. My problem with Swampy is I can't not compare it to Alan Moore's run, in who's shadow almost all writers look weak. Might borrow it off a friend.
Oh my god. I'm in love. Those visuals are amazing!
My only complaint is that Abby is no longer pale lavender with corpse flowers. I thought that was a good look for her.
Issue was too decompressed but the art was BEAUTIFUL. Writing was really strong. One of the better issues of this series IMO.
first book i read today and wasn't disappointed. francavilla rules. the full page looking out over the swamp with the parliament of trees is just great.
SPACE FOR RENT!
A good read, but definitely way too decompressed. I really hope things will move faster from now on.
Francavilla's art is beautiful!
Poor Alec. The guy just can't catch a break. He's got his ass kicked every since he became Swampy

Abby's hair is has gotten longer and she looked fine in dead mans clothes. Or at least I think it was a man she stole them from. The art on this was great but what happened to Alec's crown/antlers?
