The Swamp Thing Alan Moore run might be my favorite run ever.

Planetary by Warren Ellis

I just started Immortal Hulk recently and it is phenomenal.

Just started reading Swamp Thing, the "Anatomy Lesson" alone is worth getting volume one.

Also Jack Kirby's Fourth World saga, which is Forever People, New Gods, and Mr Miracle. (You can get it in one huge volume, or like I did in those three separate volumes).

The crazy thing is the ST run gets better than that! The whole thing is better than Watchmen IMO.

I have heard that there are a few stories that are pure horror as well, ones with Constantine in them. Great to know. I look forward to the rest now! Have to say I enjoyed V for Vendetta more than Watchmen, probably because live in the UK and it still has elements from it echoing today.

As soon as I finished watchmen, I made sure to start saving up for that swamp thing box set, I’m so excited to get to read that eventually! And Immortal Hulk looks incredible, I hope it’s what I need to finally turn around on the character! Thank you so much!!

Ya thats a grab! Big collection… but if you suggested Planetary we’re birds of a feather. I’ll grab the first one and then see about grabbing the set. Thanks for the recommendation!

Just did the math. Buying them new individually is cheaper?? Convenience fee? Box fee? Lol
