Okay, Better than Animal Man #12, but Jeezus, come on already…Snyder tries to rescue it with the reveal that the story from Swampy #1 through #11 has all been part of “the plan.”
DC editorial has made a huge mistake by allowing this “storyline” to limp along for this many issues (Animal Man suffering more than Swampy).
I’m not sure I can jump ship…yet…I mean I’ve been reading this for a freaking year, I guess I’ll give it one more chance.
Am I enabling bad comics by doing this?
Oh, and bring back Paquette!
Story: 4 - Very Good
Art: 3 - Good
Art: 3 - Good
I worry about enabling bad comics too, but I’ve followed this stupid story so far now that I have to see it through to the end. Then I’m jumping ship.
I don’t know what to replace them with-maybe a Marvel title-Daredevil, Spider Man? I wouldn’t mind reading All Star Western-anyone know if that’s any good? Might wait for the trade paperback of that before I jump on though.
Whatever I do, I’ll be glad to have Swamp thing and Animal Man gone-such a shame as they’re two of my favourite characters.
Daredevil is excellent — the first 7 issues are classic. Just great. It has picked up steam again story wise in the last few issues. The hiccup was the tie in with Punisher and Spidey –totally skippable.
As for All Star Western … same pattern, first 6 issues were rollicking fun…the move to New Orleans (no spoliers) was not necessary….HOWEVER, the last issue was freaking GOOD. I think both are totally worth your time and $$$.
It saddens me that characters with such rich potential get such ultitmately poor execution. Snyder’s better than this I think.
Just drop it if you don’t like it. Why waste money that you could be spending on comics you might enjoy? Id rather try something new than keep reading something I’m wicked sick of.
It’s a wicked shame and you’re right, I blame DC editorial. Both of these books are going into another crossover in 2 months. Let’s see some Swamp thing, f*** the rot. The first couple issues were SO good and then it started merging with Animal Man and its sputtered ever since. I’m giving them both thru 0 then its good-bye.
Can’t argue with you.
I’m done with both after following for 12 issues. I’ve also enjoyed Swamp Thing, generally, more than Animal Man for the past 4 or 5 issues, but still, this story line has DRAGGGGGGGGGED on way too long in both titles.
DC and Lemire and Snyder have unearned my money.
…And yet you still give the writing a 4???
I just read 8-11 of this series and was almost entirely let down. Issue #11 had some tiny sparks of creativity and hope. Everything else was completely decompressed, boring, empty, and formless (amorphous entities fighting with each other the way a child would randomly have Action Figure A defeat Action Figure B by using ill-defined powers).
Since Pacquette has gone on sabbatical the art on this series has taken a nosedive as well (with the exception of one issue; you know the one).
And reusing Arcane was a very poor, and very predictable, attempt to make things feel real dire and important.
There’s just nothing here. The first seven issues, even though they were soaked in way too much Moore-run nostalgia, at least had a palpable sense of effort going into them on the part of the writer and artist. But this has just gotten unbelievably lazy and empty. Pick up any random back issue of Swamp Thing whenever Moore or Veitch or even Wein wrote it; some of them will cost you only a buck. Any one of them has more story and more creativity and value than the past 4-6 issues of the current series.
