His art would have sold the story so much better than Kelly's. Now it will never be. And I fear Wrightson isn't long for this world either.

Snyder did Swamp Thing and it crossed over with Lemire's Animal Man for the Rotworld saga.
He did the first three volumes of New 52, which is probably the first ongoing Swamp Thing I've read. I thought it was pretty good but it definitely felt like a superhero book.

There were definite superhero elements, as there was in Moore's run, but there was also a lot of horrific stuff going on with the kingdom of rot establishing itself on Earth. I felt like it was a nice balance between horror and action; kind of like the old Swamp Thing movie by Wes Craven, which I love. I also liked the character focused issues, like the one on Arcane. I loved it. The last series though was pretty boring by comparison, the art wasn't as good, the story wasn't as good, and it seemed to focus more on Swampy being a hero and shrug off the more shocking horror elements and gore.
I was also a big fan of the Animal Man run by Lemire, probably the only thing I really liked by that guy. I wasn't a fan of his take on Moon Knight.

The fact that Swamp Thing is going to be involved in the crossover kind of indicates that he's getting another series as every other property in the mash ups has an ongoing.

I have to have 3 out of 5 oneshots due to Doom Patrol and Swamp Thing, so I may as well get the other 2.

Originally posted by Big Daddy Dave Targaryen I View PostWhen I was keeping up with GL, I never counted his appearances in JLA as intregal to my GL collection, unless it was a GL centric story. It was the only way I could justify not chasing down things that had little to do with GL. Otherwise my 7 GL longboxes would be more like 18 longboxes. My hat is off to you for trying though. I know Andrew used to try to do all of it too.
I'm not 100% sure I have every appearance, but since I already get JL, the Bat books, and Supes, I feel relatively confident.
I know I'll never be able to do that for his whole history, but it's definitely a life goal to own every GL proper book some day. I have everything since GL series two #79 and lot of the issues before that (only a handful missing between 31 and 80), but no Golden ones yet.
I was really happy that my LCS got a stack of Silver Age comics recently and they included 5 GLs I didn't have.Last edited by Space Cop; 10-07-2017, 03:48 AM.
