The art from Saiz might also be the work of magic because it's unbelievable he can churn out such detailed, engrossing art month after month. There are too many amazing pages to point out them all, but my favorite pair has to be where a wounded Animal Man taps into the Red. The blood-paneling works on several different levels as it represents his wounded state and his connection to the Red, and from that the tables are turned on the next page, delivering one perfectly executed beat after another. Suffice to say, this comic is well worth your green. Read Full Review

Swamp Thing #26 is a great read.  Charles Soule gives us some added mythos and understanding into the Seeder's rise and (eventual?) fall.  The art of Jesus Saiz is great and compliments the story so well.  Like most of Soule's work, new readers can just jump right in so there is no excuse not to read this series.  Highly recommended.

After Snyder's departure, I was worried about the future of the quality and longevity of Swamp Thing in the New 52. Now, seven issues into Charles Soule's run my doubts have subsided and I'm excited and hopeful that DC will keep this book around for as long as there are stories to tell. Month in and month out Swamp Thing is consistently my favorite book put out by DC proper and one of my favorite ongoing comics period. Read Full Review

Slight gaps in the corners of the art and script prevent the issue from rising to a truly memorable level, but facially, this is a more than solid product on most levels. Read Full Review

Again, "Swamp Thing" is a horror comic. It's written to make readers feel uneasy. I'm glad I've had a chance to read this issue from an opposing perspective while still being able to enjoy the story, the writing and the art. Beineke quoted Lee Rozelle regarding the spark for concern over the environment: "When does an awareness of home provoke terror and awe? When it's burning"**** (Rozelle, 2006). "Swamp Thing #26" ignited both. Read Full Review

Despite the melancholy that courses through every corner of the book, Swamp Thing #26 continues to expand on both the artistic and storytelling front. Alec Holland needs to return as soon as possible or the very fabric of nature will tear for good. No one is safe as long as Jason Woodrue remains as the Swamp Thing. Read Full Review

I'm sure you're all sick of me saying it by now, but Charles Soule's Swamp Thing is absolutely superb, and despite a momentary blip last issue, we are now back on track and rocketing back up the quality ladder. This issue may not star everyone's favourite Swamp Thing, but the developments in this issue will keep us going until Alec's inevitable return. And when he turns up again, hell hath no fury like a Swamp Thing scorned. Read Full Review

"Swamp Thing" #26 is another strong issue by a strong creative team. This latest development feels natural and interesting, and I'm curious to see what Soule and Saiz have up their proverbial sleeves. Once again, one of the best books published by DC Comics these days. Read Full Review

Im still happy learning more about this mysterious antagonist, and what Ive learnt I absolutely love. Id have actually been happen if this book had been nearly all flashback as opposed to cutting back and forth as the characters history, and tragic fall, is gripping in a very unexpected way. Its always nice to see a villain with an interesting motivation, and this is a great take on a common one, elevating it expertly. Read Full Review

While it would be nice to see Soule start tending some of his hanging plot threads, Swam Thing #26 is still a great read, balancing creative world building against strong characterization. It remains one of the more accessible DC titles being published. With Soules popularity booming, now is a good opportunity to see the series that made him into the superstar hes become.

This has been one of the better Swamp Thing story arcs in the New 52 and I'm greatly enjoying it. The storytelling and the artwork has been stellar and it goes to show you don't have to go to any of the members of the Justice League to find amazing stories in the DC Universe. Read Full Review

It looks like we're nearing a jump-on point for those of you who still aren't reading this series. (Even though I've told you guys tons of times that you should be!) I really hope that Soule plans to stay on even though he's undertaking two new titles for All-New Marvel Now, because I'm afraid that whoever takes it over from him won't do the character I've grown to love so much justice. While this wasn't my favorite issue of Soule's run, it gave us a great back story to an amazing villain and that makes the slower pace of the issue totally worth it for me. Read Full Review

Overall, the issue was interesting still having Alec still be a part of the issue, even only if his thoughts were there was great. It gives a whole new meaning that the avatars are always being watched and judged on what they do. The cameo of Buddy was nice but really was not needed. Hopefully Alec's thoughts continue to stick around until he makes his return. Read Full Review

An interesting mix of standard villain back story, interesting facts about real life plants and catching up people who might have just jumped in. The art serves it purpose, but fails to capture The Green as earlier issues have. Informative, but not something to pick up unless you already follow it. Read Full Review
