You're all going to read Alan Moore's Swamp Thing. Every single one of you. This is officially a Swamp Thing book club. I don't care who you are or what you like, or even if you like comic books; it's simply one of the best things I've ever read.

_refugee_ will back me up on this. I want to write whole essays on why it's so good and so important, but I just can't find the words for it. I need to have a conversation about it with all of you to be able to. thenewgreen, I feel like this would be right up your alley too for some reason. I want to tag everyone I know in this, but I won't be that guy.

Please, just go pick up the first TPB and read it.

I have been reading all sortsa things this summer (said in May I was going to read 30 books, entering August I'm going on 40!) so I'm totally down without even knowing what it is or what you're talking about but that said I feel like you'll have more success if you tell me what I'm about to read.

I mean it's a comic book. Alan Moore. But what the fuck is a swamp thing and how could it possibly inspire deep thoughts etc in anyone? Walk me through this.
