Swamp Thing is a very underappreciated DC character and though his New 52 run is nothing special， it is still an enjoyable journey。 The first half， written by Scott Snyder， is a nice three part tale culminating in "Rot World"。 It follows Alec Holland as he reluctantly becomes the Swamp Thing， "for real this time"， and journeys into a world of horror。 Snyder's run definitely embraces the horror genre of the characters origins。 Its only sour note is that the final climactic ending is taken over by Swamp Thing is a very underappreciated DC character and though his New 52 run is nothing special， it is still an enjoyable journey。 The first half， written by Scott Snyder， is a nice three part tale culminating in "Rot World"。 It follows Alec Holland as he reluctantly becomes the Swamp Thing， "for real this time"， and journeys into a world of horror。 Snyder's run definitely embraces the horror genre of the characters origins。 Its only sour note is that the final climactic ending is taken over by a different artist and the change in art style really hinders the ending。 After Snyder the character is taken over by Charles Soule， who definitely had long term plans for the Swamp Thing。 Soule explores the character of Alec Holland， The Parliament of Trees， and even other Avatars。 After becoming a god over night， Holland fears losing his humanity。 The stories of "The Seeder" of "The Sureen" and "The Lady and the Wolf" all center on Holland deciding and fighting for how an Avatar should be。 On how the power should never justify injustice。 The final story that introduces the new domain of Metal was really cool， but unfortunately and a very flat ending。 The final issue changed in perspective and narration to cover a lot of plot。 But like everything in the end of the New 52 it tried to finish in a hurry and cover everything in one big stroke。 Leaving a very weak ending that was not as satisfying as it could have been。 。。。more
