I read Alan Moore's Swamp Thing. It's very good.

The Pogo story is extremely good.

Oh yeah, I really liked that part. And the one issue where Swamp Thing becomes the father of planets that's a horrifying hosed up nightmare. Comics don't do that enough anymore, have one issue that's just a standalone thing by itself

The Moore run of Swamp Thing also features the best Hawkgirl costume

Did you manage to make it through the alien digital planet issue? I have reread the run. Few times but could never finish that issue no matter how much I tried.

Oh yeah, I read it easily all the way through on my first try. It was the easiest thing in the world for me.

I really liked the Alan Moore Swamp Thing, so I decided to read more Swamp Thing. I got Swamp Thing: Protector of the Green. Whoo boy did that piss me off.

I had heard that the origin from Moore's Swamp Thing got retconned, it went back to Swamp Thing being Alec Holland, so I was ready for that. But it turned out to be way worse! They didn't retcon it, they just declared it all canonically bad and stupid. The Swamp Thing that was pure vegetable, the one who went to hell to try to save the universe, who unknowingly became the father of living worlds, who saved an alien planet from famine, who became practically a god in his own right, and through it all was guided by his unshakeable love for his wife, that Swamp Thing did exist. But he was a mistake, a stand-in created out of desperation when the real Swamp Thing became unavailable, and then he died and is completely unmourned. Even his wife doesn't care about him anymore because she picked right up on a relationship with the real Swamp Thing, the guy everyone wanted all along, who was prophesized to to become the best Swamp Thing ever.

It sucks!

Huh, I thought the Dead Girl miniseries established that the members of X-Statix were 100% trapped in hell forever

Krakoa ressurections somehow bypass the afterlife. That's been established as canon.

I'm satisfied with that.

God all of this feels so tired. None of the fights over mediocre woke blockbusters have ever been sites of sparkling debate or energetic ideology, but this one just feels like people going through the motions.
