Newbie  Joined: 21 May 2012 | I've got to admit, these are my 2 favorite titles of the New 52.
Fantastic story, amazing art, and the fact that they tie together is an added bonus! I'm really starting to become a fan of Jeff Lemire. (I also love Sweet Tooth.) __________________ please take a moment to check out my podcast • www.twoaveragedicks.com • @twoaveragedicks on twitter |

I'm gunning for the trades when (if they're not out already) they come out. __________________ Public Relations/Coordination Manager here at SMC. I also do reviews!

Moderator Group Joined: 25 September 2011 | I love Swamp Thing, but it kind of makes me mad that I spent all this time reading this large arc only to have it resolve half heartedly. They essentially ended it and then went "no wait! That wasn't the real bad guy. THIS is the real bad guy and he's more powerful than the other guy you just defeated." |

Senior Member  Joined: 05 September 2011 | I have really loved the Animal Man series (except for the one filler issue that I found to be far too disappointing). On the
flip-side... Swamp Thing has been only okay for me. Still worth buying, and I guess it's hard to pinpoint the reason for my mediocre reception of the book. I'm bummed to hear that the Animal Man artist is leaving for another book, though. Hope the replacement fits the book. |

Newbie Joined: 03 June 2012 | I think the Swamp Thing trade comes out late August, for those who are wondering. Out of the New 52 titles these two series and Aquaman have been among my favorites. |

Groupie  Joined: 28 April 2012 | Jeff Lemire is a boss. That aside, I haven't read all of Animal Man, but what I have read has been very, very good. It's definitely something I need to catch up with. __________________ I like comics and webcomics. You should too. I do "Comics for Noobs" on the blog here. Twitter:@LFLJ Email:leoflj91@gmail.com |

Senior Member Joined: 18 July 2011 | Didn't go for Animal Man when the new 52 launched but I picked up the trade and I immensley regret my decision to not include this title in
initial list of titles to get from the new 52. __________________ Skype:michael.meador85 Twitter:@Threeshotwonder PSN:Threeshotwonder |

| Newbie Joined: 05 December 2012 | Along with Batman, these are the 2 standout books in the New 52 Universe. Swamp Thing and Animal Man are like a one-two punch of weird, cool, and creepy, and, having been onboard since they both relaunched, they are at the top of the pile when new comics make their way to my doorstep. Lemire and Snyder have been working together on these books from the beginning, having traded ideas and concepts leading up to Rotworld. They make these two books feel like they were woven from the same thread, and reading them as they come out is a blast. Kudos to them for figuring out how to get DC to let them take the reigns and run with it- if you haven't read these books yet, go get them all. And enjoy them. |

Newbie Joined: 01 October 2011 | I started reading Swamp Thing really with the idea that I'd put to rest the notion that anyone could do anything with it after Alan Moore's run, but didn't follow Animal Man, because I've never been a big Animal Man fan. The first arc of Swamp Thing has been surprisingly good, and the Rot makes a better, more sweeping crossover than either of the Batman crossovers. I finally picked up Vol 1 of Animal Man, because everything I kept hearing, and yes, it's also really good, maybe even better than Swamp Thing. __________________ Usurping thrones one toilet at a time. |
