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

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.

The artwork mixed with the well told story makes Swamp Thing a horrific, mind-blowing and amazing take about a man and his misunderstood monster inside and his war against an enemy that's an opposite on all fronts!
