Ratings and reviews

I didn't really care about or knew much about Swamp Thing but after reading this series I freaking loved the character. I loved the concept of the Green and the Rot. The creatures from the Rot are scary but drawn beautifully. It takes a bit for Alec Holland to become the Swamp Thing but once he does you will not be unsatisfied and realize that it was worth the wait. One of the best comics I have read in a while

Scott Snyder continues his reign as one of the best writers of the new 52. Just like his current Batman run he continues to tell timeless stories, do to his deep understanding of these characters psychological make up. Brilliant!

I forgot why he was my favorite comic book hero. I've been out of the loop for the longest, but reading this is drawing me back in. Looking forward to theaters one day making this a movie.
