    Man, this book is insane. People hype up this run so much and it looks great in this format. Picked up my first absolute recently and now I'm eying this one!

    I am slowly working through vol 3.
    I dig the new colouring to be honest.
    The first half dozen issues of this volume are by far my favorite so far

    If they ever do an omnibus, I hope they put the DC Comics Presents issue between #42 and #43. ST's encounter with Superman is referenced later in the series, so it makes sense NOT to put it at the very end.

    Woow ! I I read recently this run with the original colors and i'm kind of shocked (in a bad way) by this digital colors :/ It's like the drawings had lost its soul and authenticity

  • @davecironelibrarykid
    @davecironelibrarykid 2 года назад +3

    Nostalgia for the original coloring is OK, but the fact is that printing and paper limitation led to a lot of compromise back in the day.
    - The horror content and the original grainy paper had a different vibe, for sure.

  • @symz4665
    @symz4665 2 года назад

    I bought the absolute Vol. 1 on comixology a while ago (when comixology wasn't absolute trash) and man, after 40-ish pages I was done. It just didn't do it for me. Story was getting no where, so much text and dialogue and narration who again, imo, was boring as hell. It just didn't age well and that was pretty much the last swamp thing comic I have picked up before the latest green hell.
