SOURCE-DC TPB
Oh yessss after years the start of the run of Rick Veitch writing and penciling Swamp Thing is back in TPB form. This is a series I was reading back as it came out. Was one of the reasons I made sure each month to get to the comic shop.
After the stint out in space during Alan Moore's run the Parliment of Trees has started creating a new Earth Elemental. And Swamp Thing is in charge of finding it a host.
Lots of set up for the future issues. And like the Moore run,Veitch takes some older forgotten DC characters and brings them back updated for the modern world of the 80s.
The art,with Alfredo Alcala on the inks,is amazing. With the Moore run the writing was amazing and so was the art. This time the story is just damn good,which on my scale is a bit below amazing. Now part of that might be this is the start of Veitch's run and stuff that felt dropped to me might get picked up in the next volume.
Swamp Thing By Rick Veitch vol 1 Wild Things gets a B.
