I figured I'd try swamp thing a couple of months ago, it was my first absolute buy, and I fell in love with it. It's very poetic and has a very artistic approach to the look and story. Loved swamp thing.
Thanks so much, JP! I'm glad and relieved the box set has the original colours. And although the trades don't have much in extras compared to the absolute, I'll definitely be picking these up!
Nice to see they printed these on white gloss paper! I have to older Vertigo trade paperbacks printed on older paper. So glad they went back to original coloring!
Great video, thanks JP. I have the first four volumes in the older regular hardcover editions. I would very much prefer hardcovers, but I'm happy to get these and very glad DC decided to go with the original color work on these - I vastly prefer it to the recolored version.
I have already collected the absolutes with new coloring. And so I actually prefer this box set having the original colors. Thanks for clarifying the differences. Never heard of your website before, but I'll definitely be checking it out for future book purchases.
Mine is on its way. I have heard good things but not really huge Swamp Thing fan. I do love Alan Moore stuff so i got the box set. Absolute looks amazing though. If i like this then im going to check out Ram V current run
I love the art on the box set but I'm not a fan of the smaller sized format or the tpb. On the other hand the boxed set you can get all 64 issues of SW for like $100 where the absolute is oversized hardcover but more pricey.
I prefer the original colorings but those Absolutes were too awesome looking to pass up so I bought those. Can’t go wrong with either one though in my opinion!
New colouring is much better. Old school classic colours on any comic book is awful. Its why I never buy any pre 1995 comics regardless of how good it is supposed to be.
I personally really enjoy the recolored Absolutes. They are gorgeous
Great to see the original colors back in print!
Glad you made this I'm picking this up Instead of absolutes
Can't believe how much more transparent and informative you are compared to other retailers. Keep it up JP!

I’m happy DC is at least not erasing the previous colorists work and keeping their work intact with the box set
I agree and think the original colors look better.
Thanks so much, JP! I'm glad and relieved the box set has the original colours. And although the trades don't have much in extras compared to the absolute, I'll definitely be picking these up!
Yes I will be getting this set for sure for sure.
That answers the question regarding the coloring. I might hold out for the omnibus or deluxe editions.
shutup
TV show got cancelled and now it won't come back sadly. It was a great 1st and only season. Looking forward to picking the box set up.
Great show, hopefully they bring it back
I am one of the few who likes the new colors.
Looks good! Thanks for the overview
Alan Moore really set the bar high for modern comics with this series. So excellent!
Alan Moore ! Tudo que ele faz é muito bom !
Oooh, it's gonna get Swampy in here.
Definitely gotta consider buying these, Ive only heard good things about this swamp thing run
Def gonna order this
Really nice set.
Those Absolutes are some of my favorite books in my collection. Can't wait for vol 3 next year
So happy that the box set it in original colors! Thanks JP. See you, DayDay, and what’s his face on your next steam 😁
I keep forgetting his name too 😂
@@Organicpricedbooks Can’t wait for the stream! Just sent the email your way too. Can’t believe I won lol

First time seeing one of your videos. It's really cool that you guys do your own reviews.

might get this instead of holding out for deluxe editons
It's cool that the box set is in the original color but I'm just waiting on the third absolute.
That absolute is sweet.
Awesome overview, thanks for comparing the different editions.
Agreed, great comparison, thanks!
This box set looks great!
Recently became a fan of Swamp Thing from Scott Snyders run. Now I need Alan Moores run
I already own all the trade paperbacks but I really do like the slipcase and the fact that the spines all have matching logos.
Been debating on getting the new 52 swamp thing
I have the old tpbs and am getting the Absolutes. Am certain they'll do omnis next.
I was hoping these would be in hardcover, but the box presentation and uniformity of the books does look very nice.
Tpb is the way to go, but the absolute looks amazing 🤔

Beautiful. Can I order it now and get it by Xmas day?
I have the first 2 absolute. Waiting for the 3rd
really want the absolutes
original colors! that's great (this isn't in the discription of any of the sites I visited), now if only they use this version for an omnibus...
I'm really not sure if I want this or not, since I've been spoiled by oversized artwork. I'm still hoping we eventually get an omnibus, lol.
I have been waiting for an omni too. But I guess I ll just get this one. Can't wait anymore plus the absolute will be too much for my budget.
@@samratsur8074 Omni will be out after march when the absolutes are all printed. Keep waiting brothers
Swamp Thing, Man Thing, same to me.
Waiting for my vol. 2 to ship to start reading vol. 1
I like the idea of the set, but I prefer hardcovers. Are the Absolutes being reprinted?
Can't pass up the oversized Absolutes. Seems like the first one is either already hard to get or the reprint is delayed?
We got vol 1 in stock, vol 2 waiting for a restock
JPPPPPPPPPPPPPP in the place to beeeeee
Do Doom Patrol and I'm getting both absolute and the box
These stories aren't my thing, but those covers are stunning.
I just wish they sold the box by itself haha, I started buying them individually and then found out they printed the box to hold them all😭
If only they didnt try and change an already critically acclaimed story with the colors the absolutes would be perfect. Was so disappointed.
Swamp thing is dc’s best character no cap. And his comics are always good
I like the recolored Absolutes better but I get why some prefer the original
does the absolute edition have more stories than the boxset?
The OG colors are the best imho.
The contents of this box set & the omnibus are one & the same, or not.. ??
Also go ahead and commit to the series it's only like 12 episodes. It ties things up nicely as a good starting point/origin of swamp thing.
Yeah I prefer the original coloring so I will have to get this over the Absolute edition, as nice as it is.
I love the art on the box set but I'm not a fan of the smaller sized format or the tpb. On the other hand the boxed set you can get all 64 issues of SW for like $100 where the absolute is oversized hardcover but more pricey.
This is a nice set, but I plan on sticking with my absolutes.
I prefer the original colorings but those Absolutes were too awesome looking to pass up so I bought those. Can’t go wrong with either one though in my opinion!
😍😍😍😍😍
Never found an interest in Swamp Thing but the art looks nice and everyone says it’s good
Kinda split on the colors...
Swamp Thing rules
🙊
Swamp thing >> Man thing
New colouring is much better. Old school classic colours on any comic book is awful. Its why I never buy any pre 1995 comics regardless of how good it is supposed to be.
