      Big Swamp Thing fan- Moore's run is definitely the best, but this one is also good. I think Snyder runs out of steam and the Rotworld issues are kind of sloppy and Soule's run is better overall, but the art in this Omni is uniformly incredible barring a couple of issues. The binding on mine is sewn, DC is using sewn bindings now, they just use a lot of glue as well afaik

      And I feel the same way about these swamp thing runs! 🌿📚💯

    This has been in my cart for the longest time. I already have Moore’s run but I’m interested to check this out

      Having now read both I do prefer Moore’s, this is its own thing but I enjoyed the ride. In many ways this omnibus feels as if it contains two full runs as Snyder and Soule’s sections feel separate in a way I enjoyed-added even more variety within the single volume

    I love Alan Moore's run, but man this run is super UNDERRATED run for me. I loved what both Snyder & Soule brought to the table for Swampy. It was dark and so fun. The art is incredible as well. Loved your review bro. Check out the Animal Man by Jeff Lemiere omni if you haven't. The stories are connected to this one.

      Well said my friend!
      Honestly I’d read a decent chunk of the Snyder run as it was coming out and dug it-finishing the run here was a blast.
      What I didn’t expect was just how much I Loved the Soule half, to the point where I think it was my preference in this omnibus. Wonderful stories all.

      Blown away by how much I enjoyed Charles Soule’s portion

    I personally liked Charles portion of the book the best too! You really need to check out the Animal Man by Jeff Lemire omni. Gives you the complete story and made me fall in love with Jeff’s writing. I couldn’t put it down

    • @TheComicBookReport
      @TheComicBookReport  Před 2 měsíci +3

      It’s good to hear I’m not the only one! It was definitely a wonderful surprise when I reached the Soule portion!
      And I remember loving that animal man run for the first maybe dozen issues I read, I do need to try to get omnibus so I can finish it out 📚📚📚

      @@TheComicBookReport I would love to see you do a review on it too. I do kinda wish they would make a Rot World event omni that uses issues from both books to show what’s going on in both their stories in relation to each other

    I like have read some of Moore’s run and liked that. Because of the writers, I think this is a very interesting omni. 🤔

    • @TheComicBookReport
      @TheComicBookReport  Před 2 měsíci +3

      I think Moore’s run is the gold standard for Swamp Thing, but this was still a fun read 💯
      Both of these writers are creators I enjoy generally, though I am typically more of a Snyder fan. However I actually preferred the Soule stories in this omnibus.
