Product Description

The first story arc of the acclaimed return of Swamp Thing is collected in Bad Seed, reprinting issues 1-6 of the new ongoing series written by Andy Diggle and illustrated by Enrique Breccia.

Bad Seed finds the Swamp Thing joined to the Earth itself, surpassing even his old power as the champion of the Green, and no longer inhibited by the human conscience of his original template, Alec Holland.

Without this constraint, the Swamp Thing threatens to re-balance the natural world at the cost of countless human casualties — including his own daughter Tefé and his love, Abby — unless the man who originally showed him his true nature, John Constantine, can find a way to stop him...

Customer Reviews

Swamp thing gone to seed.
This book is abysmal!
I had heard a lot of good things about Andy Diggle and the writing he was doing for D.C comics and thought that by picking up his take on an old favourite of mine would be as good a place as any to start.
Bad mistake,Just because the story is set in a universe made up and governed by ludicrous conventions doesnt mean you should be able to turn in a script quite as bad as this, Im amazed D.C paid him for it, Im even more amazed that they published it.
Theres no sense of suspense and the conclusion is sign posted way before you reach the punchline.
And the art and page layouts are appalling too, this is a really bad example of decompressed graphic story telling (Pick up any of Warren Ellis's books if you want to see decompressed comic books done well ) ,Enrique Breccias doodlings are terrible, his figure drawing is truly awful, all the faces look like they belong on stroke victims and his rendition of the re-animated Alec Holland is one of the worst walking corpes you are ever likely to see on the printed page.
Its as if he is trying to ape the work of Gustav Dore and Albrecht Durer but doing the illustrations without the lights on and using his car keys instead of pencils and pens.
Its a real shame that one of the classic comic horror characters has been handled so inexpertly.
Avoid this like the plague.
