review 1: This was pretty amazing! And I am shocked to see me typing that... I was skeptical heading into it, but quickly changed my mind.First of all, the art work is stunning. At once grotesque, horrific, expressionistic and surreal. It feels and looks like artwork that would be found in a graphic novel, which lends a level of sophistication and maturity to the volume. Secondly, it is very intriguing! Right away, the reader learns that Alec has unexplained memories of a past life. Does he remember the pre-new52 universe? What role does he play in it? Is there some kind of DCnU collective unconsciousness? It raises a lot of questions right out of the gates.Finally, it's a story about a human being. Snyder takes time to establish Holland as a human character before he exp... moreoses the monster/hero to the reader. It's a smart move. Instead of making it a total hero-fantasy, he makes it a very human story with very human struggles and vey human conflicts. Of course there is plenty of non-human stuff in there to keep everyone happy.Looking forward to this series, for sure!4.5/5
review 2: I remember reading Alan Moore's Swamp Thing when I was a kid, and not liking it at all. It was different, weird (for a 7/8 year-old), and scary, so I stuck with JLA and Thor comics. 19 years later, I decide to give Swamp Thing another go. I wanted to get Alan Moore's run but they were sold out. I knew Scott Snyder from Batman and American Vampire, and was familiar with his talent as a horror writer.I was very surprised by the greatness of this book. I wish I had read Alan Moore's run first to have a better grasp of the world of Swamp Thing and to be able to compare it to this new take, but it does not change the fact that Snyder/Paquette created a stunning piece of horror fiction.Alec Holland, back from the dead, is trying to live a quiet life, but is still haunted by the memories of "The Monster", or Swamp Thing. He is approached by the Parliament of Trees that warn him about a cataclysmic threat the planet is facing. Holland remains inflexible about surrendering to the "Green" to become Swamp Thing once again. Then... all hell breaks loose. This adrenaline rush of a book takes Swamp Thing to new heights. The stunningly horrific art by Yanick Paquette (not a fan of Marco Rudy's though) and story and character study by Scott Snyder make the book a very thrilling read. I highly recommend it to any horror enthusiasts out there. less
