Swamp Thing #29 may be the start of a new arc, but that doesn't mean it's a boring setup issue.  Charles Soule does set things up, but him and Jesus Saiz are so good, they make it a must read.  So, go read it now. Read Full Review

This issue of Swamp Thing offers so much, and sets up what is sure to be a thoroughly enjoyable new arc, exploring what happens when Swamp Thing takes too much power into himself, and becomes the sole dictator of the Green. This is the beginning of that exploration, so now is the time to jump on board. Scott Snyder's run on Swamp Thing was excellent, but Charles Soule has done what most thought was impossible, he's taken what was already very good, and made it even better. Read Full Review

This creative team continues to put out top-notch content and somehow figure out a way to set the bar even higher for the series with every arc. I'm really excited to see where they're going to go with this new cultish story because I think we're in store for something we haven't seen from Swamp Thing in any adaptation yet. The adventures of Alec Holland will continue to remain at the top of my reading pile for the foreseeable future! Read Full Review

Swamp Thing has been firing on all cylinders for over 10 issues now, plus a villain's month issue, and an annual, and it shows no sign of stopping. Even with the Seeder conflict over, all it has done is open more doors and more story opportunities for Charles Soule to exploit. And with Jesus Saiz, Matthew Wilson, and Travis Lanham along for the ride, Swamp Thing is one of the best looking, as well as the best written, titles that the New 52 currently has to offer.

On the whole, though, it's really hard to deny that this is a good issue. Soule is a stellar writer, and so all of the characters are written excellently. As usual, Jesus Saiz brings his A-game as well. Of all the artists on this book, he's probably the best, and he draws everything at a completely different level. Both halves of this creative team are consistently doing some of their best work, and so even in an issue that isn't as good as the rest of the series has been, it still manages to be one of the best comics available, not only from DC, but from any publisher.

Swamp Thing #29 doesnt wow me like previous installments, but it holds my attention. Issues like this tend to set up more interesting events, and theres enough here to suggest that there might be something big planned. Read Full Review

The slower narrative is not for everyone. After a whirlwind of chaos that surrounded Alec Holland for months on end, it is only natural to take it slow for a little while. Those who got accustomed to the pacing of Swamp Thing may find it difficult to switch over into this new dynamic. That being said, Swamp Thing #29 is planting seeds in the story that will grow to become huge plot points in the oncoming months. Read Full Review

Another excellent issue moves forward new characters and present dilemmas. i was missing the design work of earlier issues, but this one rewards us with a great boundary-breaking splash page! The whole team is doing a great job. This is my only DC book at the moment, and its no surprise that its survived the cuts. I recommend this series.
