The best $6 you could feasibly spend on a comic book you've probably never heard of. Fantastic.

It's hilarious--for being a book with the focus on a behemoth of a man carrying a severed witch's head, it feels so real, especially with Agatha Blue Witch's constant annoying of Head Lopper (Norgal will do just fine).

Unbelievable start to the new series, leaves you wishing there was more book left.

Despite most people feeling like it is the worst issue of the series so far (at least that I've spoken to), I thought it was the best. The cover definitely oversells a "deadly battle" with Alec Holland, but I really enjoy the idea of Swamp Thing taking on a villainous role with Matt Cable. I'm absolutely unsure of how this turns around for Alec, though.

Still great.

I read these as they came out, and I definitely enjoyed it. The art is the best part for me, and the writing is good as well, but the story itself seems a little too all over the place for me, personally. But again, the art makes it worth the buy.

Swamp Thing (2016) #1 Mar 23, 2016

Zatanna's appearance is cool, but overall feels like it could have been more.

It's definitely not a bad comic, just not a great one either. (Using 5 as "average" for my scale).

Anticlimactic ending to what was an excellent story arc.

Maybe it's just because of the first issue, but this never grabbed me. I get there were moments and there is a mystery behind all that went on, but it never hits home. I'll read at least two more issues to give it a fair shot, but so far, not so good.
