Quote from: Hawkmumbler on 23 May, 2024, 09:05:33 AMOmnibus editions of Sin/Dex and Dante really do feel like a truly unbelievable gap in Rebellions library, and two series I'd devour in a heartbeat.
Quote from: Barrington Boots on 23 May, 2024, 09:45:50 AMIts feels off though to be griping after your love letter to an all time classic.
Quote from: Marbles on 23 May, 2024, 09:53:06 AMI assume that the Hachette deal means Rebellion can't publish SinDex (or Dante, or anything else) as Omniboo or Compendium's? It's a shame as my ocd won't allow me to put random Hachette spines on the bookshelf, so will have to wait it out.

Swamp Thing is something I've often thought about checking out. I've only ever read a single issue - a girl gave it to me as a gift and given I'm not hugely into superhero stuff I didn't want to taint it by reading around it and finding I didn't care for the series, if that makes sense - I rather like it in isolation.
Interesting what issue if I may be so bold. When I've been asked in the past I've always recommended issue 43. Not that its representative of the run as a whole - as I've said that would be hard to do - just cos its my fav!
Issue 55 is the issue in question....
Because I've not read any more of the run, I've literally no idea if it is representative or not. Read in isolation its quite trippy and beautiful.
Quote from: Fortnight on 21 May, 2024, 09:53:46 AMPerhaps I should also say that I'm reading the Absolute editions, and I'm not forcing myself to keep reading when I get tired - I just pick it up again later. I'll definitely be re-reading them, too, at some point.

Quote from: broodblik on 20 May, 2024, 10:06:06 AMA read a Swamp Thing comics when it came out but it was nothing that sticked for me. Again this might be a case of my younger days certain things I just did not find appealing enough. Not sure if I want to add another item to my ever-growing backlog jam.
Quote from: AlexF on 20 May, 2024, 02:57:36 PMThat said, I can also imagine that sinply reading any one single issue in isolation, per B.Boots' experience, is going to be nicely rewarding. Maybe that's the trick - just read one comics from this run and have done with it! Wonder if that's true of Watchmen as well.
Quote from: broodblik on 20 May, 2024, 07:03:57 PMThe weirdest thing for me is that is still find Alan Moore's prog work superior than his American work. His Future Shocks were some of the best (if not the best) short stories ever published. Dr & Quinch still put a smile to my mouth when I revisited it. Halo Jones I still rate as his best work ever. So British Moore beats American Moore everyday of the week.
Quote from: Jim_Campbell on 21 May, 2024, 07:39:55 AMQuote from: BadlyDrawnKano on 20 May, 2024, 11:32:43 PMI rarely found myself caring for the characters that much, at least not in the way I normally do with Moore's work.
Now, that's strange, because one of things I like most about Moore's run on ST is his obvious affection for the supporting cast, with several issues where the Big Guy barely even has a walk-on part and a couple of issues before the 'Lost in Space' arc kicks off where he's completely absent and Abby and Chester carry the book.
