As a fan of Alan Moore's Swamp Thing, I found it hard to swallow how it basically undid and criticized every aspect of what Moore brought to the character. While Moore's version was groundbreaking, this was predictable. Moore's had deep female characters and rejected the typical macho hero, while this book is all about macho characters and pointless action, and very light on deep characters, even lighter on female characters (even Abigail was turned macho, welding a gun, short hair, motorcycle, it's like the writer was forced against his will to include a woman at all). It even rejected the narrative about the value of the natural world, which just made no sense.
The art was ok, but definitely failed to take advantage of gorgeous natural details in the way the 80s version of the comic did, instead going for a more classic hard-line look to fit the actiony style I guess.
