“Not every great work of art starts off with a bang. Sometimes, it takes a minute for the artist(s) to get their footing. An example of this is Alan Moore’s legendary run on Swamp Thing. When I first tried reading the series, I struggled through the lengthy prose of the first trade and then let it set on my shelf for a few years, alone. Luckily, I finally gave it another shot, and it is now my favorite run in all of comics. Unlike Alan Moore’s slow burn masterpiece, Comic Book Club is immediately great. From go, these guys are at the peak of their craft. True masters of the form. A more perfectly formed team cannot be found in any comic book. They always bring fresh takes on the big books and make sure to highlight the smaller books that other comic sites and podcasts neglect. They understand when a series needs some time to figure out its pacing and long term structure. That’s why I’m confident they will read the second trade of Alan Moore’s Saga of the Swamp Thing. :)”
