Swamp Thing Trends As Fans Share What They Love About The Character

Horror, psychedelia, non-glamorous characters, plants, animals and water instead of buildings and vehicles, and a main character where you get to play ever-changing variations on the core design rather than having to stay on model panel after panel, issue after issue.

For me, Swamp Thing was one of my first exposures to horror comics. At various times his book was one of the few easily available Big 2 non-superhero monthly books.

swamp thing can be the tragic monster fighting the other tragic monster, he can be the shadows in the tall grass, he can be a god, he can be a legacy, he can be about anything. he doesn't even have to look the same panel-to-panel, like warlock from the x-men

Guys and Swamp Thing.We just wanna be him and be all swampy and gross.

All joking aside, Swamp Thing rules. Nothing wrong with enjoying a character that wants to largely live alone, be literally one with nature, and is generally beyond grumpy when they have to actually interact with people.

Seriously, I love Swamp Thing. https://t.co/3hSBNaqHUW

And rather than Swamp Thing wreaking vengeance on humanity for his fate, he learns and discovers how to adapt in his new identity, which leads to a new literal and metaphorical second chance at life for him, it asks the question "How would you handle no longer being human?"

I shouldn’t engage in swamp thing discourse. I mostly just want to see more comics where the art does a lot of the walking in the storytelling pic.twitter.com/hNQT6kqQ8Q

Shout-out to Swamp Thing fans regardless of your gender and whether or not it's because of literary references or because of cool, plant monster horror. You don't need to justify it to people who don't really like you.
