Just got this book in the mail a few days, looking forward to reading it! Haven't read much Swamp Thing before, but I love most of Snyder's work so I had to pick this up
Seriously need a reprint on American Vampire. Recently ordered East of West and Black Science excited to read those! Great video might check this book out as well
No mention of the solicited Omnibus? I spent (prolly too much) for the Snyder Swampie, no regrets, but I think you should tell folks the omni has been solicited. Great content!
Swamp Thing, Animal man, Batman, Wonder Woman and Justice League were the best of the best for New 52. Swamp Thing was creepy but so was Wonder Woman. It had its supernatural Greek Gods horror aspect. This Swamp Thing run is a complete classic and adds to the mythos of Swamp Thing
I am glad you opened the book and showed that stunning artwork. Can you do a video on Authority by Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch? Their Batman mini series is ending soon, hope it also gets absolute treatment like Authority
@@TheHardcoverComic I love the Authority and Planetary and have both Omni's,But I'm having real issues separating art from the artist cos you know Ellis ain't been a decent person. I even considered offloading both when the news broke earlier this year.
Really enjoy Scott Snyder Swamp Thing it's really good. For me at least it was definitely one of the best runs on the character in a very long time and for me I felt it was a also a great return
Hey Mike! *Before I say anything else, I gotta say this first: Anyone reading this should buy a "THC" shirt! Even though u have absolutely zero idea of who I am, u must take my word for it! My "The Hardcover Comic" shirt is SWEEEET! Mine fits perfectly & looks cool as hell! How can it not look cool when u've got the letters THC... IN GREEN... on ur shirt?!? But seriously, my shirt not only looks cool & fits perfectly... the material is very comfy, too! Just get one, if ur able! I know u'll luv it! 😉👍🏻 Anyhoo, I really enjoyed this video, Mike! I have that "Swamp Thing: Bronze Age Omni" tpb(or whatever it's called, lol--the one w/the 1st 13 or so issues, w/Wrighton's art being the biggest drawl for me), & I LUV it! I loved the Gothic horror elements! The only other Swamp Thing book I've gotten & read is the one Len Wein did w/Kelley Jones(another of my faves) just a few years ago. It also had a creepy Gothic horror vibe that I luv! Snyder is a fantastic writer-- particularly w/his retooling of Bats in the new 52 & his horror stuff("Severed" & "Wytches", in particular)! I planned to get the 1st Omni of "American Vampire"... but my brain had one of its meltdowns, & I somehow missed out on, dammit!😬Lol. Maybe it'll become affordable again @ some point, & I'll have better awareness, lol. But yeah, he's awesome! And Paquette is an excellent artist, too! Some of those pages looked very cool! Again, very enjoyable video, as always! Glad to see ur looking like ur feeling well! I know u'd say so if Matt wasn't doing well; so, I assume he is ok, & I'm happy he's feeling well, too! I'm hangin' in there, trying to stay safe & as healthy as possible. Hope u guys stay safe & healthy! 😊👍🏻👍🏻❤
This would've been a must-buy for me but I want the whole New 52 run in deluxe, or I'd prefer to stick with he trades. I hate having to mix hardbacks and paperbacks.
Mike - I love when you do a close up video of comic books. It gives it more depth than just laying out the pages digitally. I want to check out other Swamp things runs but afraid it might ruin Alan Moore’s vision for me. What do you think of Nancy Collins’ omni run?
@Chill just different opinions, and had to point out you calling her out for left wing politics is rather amusing considering who wrote the most seminal Swamp thing run.
Again thanks for mentioning me, i'm very pleased. Glad you like it) BTW unfortunately i haven't read the Swamp Thing yet, so how do you think, do i have to catch up from the very first issue, or i can read this Snyder's run separately?
You are safe to start with Moore's run but doing that you do miss out on some amazing Bernie Wrightson art. All collected in the swamp thing Bronze age Omni. Though Moore's run is probably some of the best comics ever. Again IMO
I didn't love this run, it feels shallow and dumbed down to me compared to previous Swamp Thing runs. The Paquette and Rudy art is great, but some of the fill-ins felt really unsuited to this type of book. I thought the story went off the rails during the Rotworld crossover, with some silly guest appearances and mash-ups, but at least Paquette came back for the finale. I think the Soule-Saiz run that follows is more cohesive, interesting and well thought out. I will be picking up the omnibus of the whole series next year, though.
Man I loved this book! Yanick Paquette is one of my favorite artists as well. There’s so much awesome gruesomeness stuff in this book.

This was the comic that started me on my current comic journey. It bridged my old Vertigo affinity with the rest of the comic world. Love this series!

That new intro is awesome!
This was a great run with the crossover of Animal Man by Jeff Lemire and some truly fantastic artwork...great review, I have to track this book down
Fantastic run. Swamp Thing is great. The show on DCU was also really good

Vishal Phatak Will do! Love that run

I loved it, obviously it's not gonna best Moore's run but its a really good read IMO.
@Chill and there's why we will disagree. Cos Mr Moore never stunk up a single comic with his left wing anarchist views did he.
@Chill just different opinions, and had to point out you calling her out for left wing politics is rather amusing considering who wrote the most seminal Swamp thing run.
Omnibus is coming out of swamp thing scott snyder, i nvr read it so im hoping it'll be a good omni
Cowabunga fam 🤙🤙🤙
So this is OOP in the UK but I can see that a Swamp thing by Snyder Omni is due March 2021? Is it worth waiting for that?
D J Absolutely! If I didn’t have this deluxe I would be picking that omnibus up ASAP
Pretty sure there is a new 52 swamp omni coming..
There is, its solicited for January, I'm eagerly waiting for it myself
Are you picking up the absolute swamp thing volume 2?
I’m pretty sure there making an omnibus
Again thanks for mentioning me, i'm very pleased. Glad you like it)
BTW unfortunately i haven't read the Swamp Thing yet, so how do you think, do i have to catch up from the very first issue, or i can read this Snyder's run separately?

Evgeny Krivtsov You can dive into Snyder’s run abut be warned, it will make you want to read more Swamp Thing!

This adaptation does not sound as intriguing as alan Moore's contribution in my humble opinion.
