From Newsarama and an article on new DC titles announced to be starting in January...
Kelly Jones quirky style would fit a Swamp Thing book and the Wein/Jones teaming on this book has me intrigued.

I liked the Convergence two-parter they did a lot. I'll be getting this one for sure.

Jones is good but I wonder what it would have taken to get Wrightson to do this book.

Considering his health issues recently, and that what time he does have to do art is devoted to working on/finishing Frankenstein Alive, Alive, which is Wrightson's dream project and has only gotten 3 issues out in 3 years, I would say it would take a page rate that would make the book totally unprofitable and a non-monthly schedule to get Wrightson to do it. -M |

Yes, and as much a fanboy I am of his, he hasn't drawn a single panel of the quality of his early stuff since the 80ies (brush vs pencil...  ) But I wondr tough : I rate the Wein run very highly and feel it still holds even as of todays' standards. But has he done anything of this quality since then? I confess I have only been exposed to odds and ends of hs later stuff though, but it all seemed pretty basic. |

I would be very interested in Swamp Thing ... One of my sentimental favorites!

This a pretty fun first issue, it definitely had that old school swamp thing feel; he's hanging around in the swamp when he randomly meets some stranger who needs help and so he goes off to investigate.

Swamp Thing is problematic for me because my interest begins and ends with Alan Moore...yet Len Wein, a creator I really like, is back and of course was the original creator. I'm tempted to try it out.

I'm tempted to try it out. I like Moore's epic, mythic take but there's a lot to say for Wein simplistic, some what schlocky 70's horror stories as well, and Jones' art is fantastic. |

Note that # 1 and # 3 aren't actually very good, and # 6 was all Starlin. So, basically, no. Not even close. |
