I figured I'd try swamp thing a couple of months ago, it was my first absolute buy, and I fell in love with it. It's very poetic and has a very artistic approach to the look and story. Loved swamp thing.
Thanks so much, JP! I'm glad and relieved the box set has the original colours. And although the trades don't have much in extras compared to the absolute, I'll definitely be picking these up!
Great video, thanks JP. I have the first four volumes in the older regular hardcover editions. I would very much prefer hardcovers, but I'm happy to get these and very glad DC decided to go with the original color work on these - I vastly prefer it to the recolored version.
Nice to see they printed these on white gloss paper! I have to older Vertigo trade paperbacks printed on older paper. So glad they went back to original coloring!
Mine is on its way. I have heard good things but not really huge Swamp Thing fan. I do love Alan Moore stuff so i got the box set. Absolute looks amazing though. If i like this then im going to check out Ram V current run
I have already collected the absolutes with new coloring. And so I actually prefer this box set having the original colors. Thanks for clarifying the differences. Never heard of your website before, but I'll definitely be checking it out for future book purchases.
I love the art on the box set but I'm not a fan of the smaller sized format or the tpb. On the other hand the boxed set you can get all 64 issues of SW for like $100 where the absolute is oversized hardcover but more pricey.
I prefer the original colorings but those Absolutes were too awesome looking to pass up so I bought those. Can’t go wrong with either one though in my opinion!
New colouring is much better. Old school classic colours on any comic book is awful. Its why I never buy any pre 1995 comics regardless of how good it is supposed to be.
I personally really enjoy the recolored Absolutes. They are gorgeous
Glad you made this I'm picking this up Instead of absolutes
Great to see the original colors back in print!
Can't believe how much more transparent and informative you are compared to other retailers. Keep it up JP!

That answers the question regarding the coloring. I might hold out for the omnibus or deluxe editions.
shutup
I’m happy DC is at least not erasing the previous colorists work and keeping their work intact with the box set
I agree and think the original colors look better.
Yes I will be getting this set for sure for sure.
TV show got cancelled and now it won't come back sadly. It was a great 1st and only season. Looking forward to picking the box set up.
Great show, hopefully they bring it back
I am one of the few who likes the new colors.
Looks good! Thanks for the overview
might get this instead of holding out for deluxe editons
Oooh, it's gonna get Swampy in here.
Great video, thanks JP. I have the first four volumes in the older regular hardcover editions. I would very much prefer hardcovers, but I'm happy to get these and very glad DC decided to go with the original color work on these - I vastly prefer it to the recolored version.
It's cool that the box set is in the original color but I'm just waiting on the third absolute.
Definitely gotta consider buying these, Ive only heard good things about this swamp thing run
Nice to see they printed these on white gloss paper! I have to older Vertigo trade paperbacks printed on older paper. So glad they went back to original coloring!
First time seeing one of your videos. It's really cool that you guys do your own reviews.
Alan Moore really set the bar high for modern comics with this series. So excellent!
Alan Moore ! Tudo que ele faz é muito bom !
Those Absolutes are some of my favorite books in my collection. Can't wait for vol 3 next year
I already own all the trade paperbacks but I really do like the slipcase and the fact that the spines all have matching logos.
That absolute is sweet.
Awesome overview, thanks for comparing the different editions.
Agreed, great comparison, thanks!
Def gonna order this
I have the old tpbs and am getting the Absolutes. Am certain they'll do omnis next.
Recently became a fan of Swamp Thing from Scott Snyders run. Now I need Alan Moores run
Tpb is the way to go, but the absolute looks amazing 🤔
Can't pass up the oversized Absolutes. Seems like the first one is either already hard to get or the reprint is delayed?
We got vol 1 in stock, vol 2 waiting for a restock
So happy that the box set it in original colors! Thanks JP. See you, DayDay, and what’s his face on your next steam 😁
I keep forgetting his name too 😂
@@Organicpricedbooks Can’t wait for the stream! Just sent the email your way too. Can’t believe I won lol
Mine is on its way. I have heard good things but not really huge Swamp Thing fan. I do love Alan Moore stuff so i got the box set. Absolute looks amazing though. If i like this then im going to check out Ram V current run
This box set looks great!
Been debating on getting the new 52 swamp thing
I have the first 2 absolute. Waiting for the 3rd
Really nice set.
I was hoping these would be in hardcover, but the box presentation and uniformity of the books does look very nice.
really want the absolutes

original colors! that's great (this isn't in the discription of any of the sites I visited), now if only they use this version for an omnibus...
I'm really not sure if I want this or not, since I've been spoiled by oversized artwork. I'm still hoping we eventually get an omnibus, lol.
I have been waiting for an omni too. But I guess I ll just get this one. Can't wait anymore plus the absolute will be too much for my budget.
@@samratsur8074 Omni will be out after march when the absolutes are all printed. Keep waiting brothers
I like the recolored Absolutes better but I get why some prefer the original
Beautiful. Can I order it now and get it by Xmas day?
I like the idea of the set, but I prefer hardcovers. Are the Absolutes being reprinted?
Waiting for my vol. 2 to ship to start reading vol. 1
Also go ahead and commit to the series it's only like 12 episodes. It ties things up nicely as a good starting point/origin of swamp thing.
Yeah I prefer the original coloring so I will have to get this over the Absolute edition, as nice as it is.
If only they didnt try and change an already critically acclaimed story with the colors the absolutes would be perfect. Was so disappointed.
I love the art on the box set but I'm not a fan of the smaller sized format or the tpb. On the other hand the boxed set you can get all 64 issues of SW for like $100 where the absolute is oversized hardcover but more pricey.
does the absolute edition have more stories than the boxset?
The contents of this box set & the omnibus are one & the same, or not.. ??
JPPPPPPPPPPPPPP in the place to beeeeee
The OG colors are the best imho.
Swamp thing is dc’s best character no cap. And his comics are always good
Do Doom Patrol and I'm getting both absolute and the box
Swamp Thing, Man Thing, same to me.
These stories aren't my thing, but those covers are stunning.
This is a nice set, but I plan on sticking with my absolutes.
I just wish they sold the box by itself haha, I started buying them individually and then found out they printed the box to hold them all😭
I prefer the original colorings but those Absolutes were too awesome looking to pass up so I bought those. Can’t go wrong with either one though in my opinion!
😍😍😍😍😍
Never found an interest in Swamp Thing but the art looks nice and everyone says it’s good
Kinda split on the colors...
Swamp Thing rules
🙊
Swamp thing >> Man thing
New colouring is much better. Old school classic colours on any comic book is awful. Its why I never buy any pre 1995 comics regardless of how good it is supposed to be.
