Seriously though, I almost picked up a ton of Essentials at that booth during the con, but then I realized I own dozens of Essentials and have only read a small number of them…no reason to buy more!

Always been a Swamp Thing kinda guy. But I love these collected editions, I should totally read this one!

I almost picked this up at the library the other day but left it… now I’m going to have to hop in the car and grab it before other quicker hands do.

I remember being freaked out by Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing and never picking up another issue. I just wasn’t ready.

All these comics are now brilliant of course.

Swamp Thing moved the monster genre in a completely new direction, but Man-Thing is a throwback to the Atlas days of monster comics, only filtered through the prism of the Marvel Bronze Age.

He’s also a great guest star, because now we not only get to see this character whom the reader can only relate to on an emotive level, but we also get to see how our favorite heroes react to him. For example, there’s a really good Marvel Two-In-One story (#42-43) which involves Ben Grimm and Captain America battling the Cult Of Entropy at the Nexus, and ole Muckface shows up. Just classic 70s comics.

Unfortunately, his movie is not very good. It had potential, and the physical depcition of Man-Thing (read: CGI model) was really quite nice, but the movie is a below average DTV horror movie. I still own it, though!
