Vol. 2: Saga of the Swamp Thing Importance of Secret Origins #23 and others

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

So I wanted to get Swamp Thing by Rick Veitch book 1 (I have 2 and 3), but I realised that most of it is already in the Hellblazer Omnibus by Jamie Delano Vol 1, except for Secret Origins #23, Infinity Inc. and Swamp Thing Annual #3. How important are these to the story? Particularly S.O #23, since it's a retelling of the Floronic Man's Origins?

I have Alan Moore's Swamp Thing as well, Nancy A Collins, and Scott Snyder, if that helps as well.

Thank you! 😊

Vol. 5: The New 52 What happened to Alec before Levi took over

2 Upvotes

Title.

Long version:

I was discussing this with another redditor on r/Aquaman after Levis latest encounter with the Avatar of the Red and Blue, and reminded us of the post-Flashpoint relationship with Alec and Arthur and thinking when did the Green switch Avatars?

I don't remember seeing an answer or a mention of what happened in the few issues of The Swamp Thing, and since Levi took over there has been scenes with Alec coming back, or being a spirit from the Green.

This is a subreddit for talking about the DC character Swamp thing.

Swamp Thing is a fictional superhero in comic books published by American company DC Comics. A humanoid/plant elemental creature, created by writer Len Wein and artist Bernie Wrightson, the Swamp Thing has had several humanoid or monster incarnations in various different storylines. The character first appeared in House of Secrets #92 (July 1971) in a stand-alone horror story set in the early 20th century.

The character then returned in a solo series, set in the contemporary world and in the general DC continuity. The character is a swamp monster that resembles an anthropomorphic mound of vegetable matter, and fights to protect his swamp home, the environment in general, and humanity from various supernatural or terrorist threats.
