Swamp Thing Vol.1: Saga of the Swamp Thing

Re-reading this again for the very first time. I never read the Vertigo Comics Swamp Thing series when it was currently being published, and only picked up a few collections later to see what all the hub-bub about it was. 

Can't say I was overly interested in it, and i've never felt like reading it again in all the 10+ years since.

But I really love Alan Moore's writing, and this weekend without anything to read, decided to finally give this series another go. So far, i have to admit I'm enjoying it a lot more...will update my progress on re-discovering SWAMP THING!

Re-Reading The Classic Alan Moore/Dave Gibbons WATCHMEN

I was rapping with a co-worker about Bladerunner 2049 (We both loved it) and somehow the 2009 Zack Snyder film Watchmen came up. We both agreed that the movie was pretty good,  but when I began talking about the comic, he said he hadn't read it.

I told him  some of the differences in the comic and movie, including the BIG change of the 'threat" at the end. Well, that weekend I had to order a bunch of comics online and decided that if I saw a cheap copy of the collected Watchmen Graphic novel, i'd pick it up for him.

Lo and behold, there was a copy for only a few bucks! I ordered it and upon it's arrival I decided  to re-read it again to brush up on my memories . DAMN, what a GREAT freaking BOOK! The things I loved about it were as good as ever and there were even a few things I noticed that I NEVER saw before...that's how DENSE this book is, every PAGE is just filled to the BRIM with images and ideas, and MULTIPLE readings are required to soak it all in!!!

Truly one of the greatest Comcis of all time!

Watchmen 1-12 (Complete Run)

The one, the only WATCHMEN, one of the greatest freaking Comic series OF ALL TIME, at least in MY opinion! I was part of the initial bunch who read these issues as they were coming out, and I have such wonderful memories of me and my friends having discussions of what everything meant, and trying to guess what was going to come next!
