Brian
K. Vaughn is one of the best writers working in comics today. Kudos
to DC for cashing in on his recent success with Saga by
finally releasing his run on this title across two books. Vaughn's
writing is both political and personal, with his beliefs and
convictions channeled through the characters in the story. Think of
him as the 21st century version of Steve Gerber or Don
McGregor. Pure craft. My only gripe is that the Swamp Thing is a walk
on role in only a handful of issues in this series. The real star is
his Emo-tinged daughter Tefe. Vaughn is such a good writer that he
can make you interested in something that wasn't what you wanted in
the first place.
