This was not what I expected. It’s more of a tribute to Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson than anything else.
Tom King’s “The Talk of the Saints” apparently won an Eisner or something, but I didn’t like it very much. The art was great though.
⭐️⭐️
Brian Azzarello’s “Hollow” was pretty good, and of course I loved Capullo’s pencils (and the collection’s cover).
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Mark Russel’s “Heart-Shaped Box” was bad, and the art was all wrong.
⭐️
Tim Seeley’s “The Spread” was short (they all are) but good. I wish Capullo had done this one.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’m not a fan of Kelley Jones’s art in “Spring Awakening!” but the intro was heart-warming and reading Len Wein’s script was a cool experience.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Overall, this wasn’t spectacular, but did instill some serious nostalgia, and for $18 and a sick cover, I can’t really complain. If nothing else, it reminded me I want to get a copy of the Bronze Age omnibus.

Like just about every compilation, one awesome story, some filler, and I don't even remember the rest.
Swamp Thing is just super cool, man. So I'll take a good story where I can get it.

The Talk of the Saints is one of the best short Swamp Thing stories I've ever read. The Eisner was well deserved!
This is a really nice collection of recent Swamp Thing one shots, plus an unfinished issue of what would have been a new series by Len Wein and Kelley Jones. Included with each story are scripts, uncolored pages, and concept art, making this a really nice package for Swampy fans.
