• It was a maxi-series spun out of a mini-series originally intended to be a Green Lantern event. Talk about lack of a defined focus.
• It’s about life and White Lanterns but there aren’t any colored-corp members to speak past the introduction
• People’s resurrections were sometimes explained to have had greater meaning and significance to the machinations of the plot
• But some were just swept under the bus. Cpt. Boomerang was brought back JUST to kill someone? How did that have anything to do with reinstating the balance of nature? Gimmick is gimmicky.
• Also, the plot doesn’t become apparent until issue 23. There are 24 issues in this damn series. The majority of it was like walking blindfolded.
• And the payoff makes no sense to me. Swamp Thing and John Constantine back in the DC continuity? Great, I don’t really know those characters, wasn’t this a damn Green Lantern thing originally? 

And maybe its just because I’ve never read any Swamp Thing stuff, but I found it kind of strange the heroic climax of this series was to resurrect the skeletal remains of a man, turn him back into a human and then make him submit to becoming a monster that is solely made out of vegetation. I was more scared for that character losing his humanity than feeling awe-inspired and rooting for him to become this over-glorified character that apparently has been sorely missed by the comics community. That’s fucking weird. That’s fucking comics.

I’m a fucking nerd.
