COMICON.com: DYSART'S SPENDING TIME WITH THE SWAMP THING
As you can tell by the above link IN CAPITALS, that's a link to Comicon's interview with current Swamp Thing writer Joshua Dyshart. Writing Swamp Thing after, say, 1990 or so is really a tricky proposition. Writing it today, even after the reboot, which should have streamlined things, isn't much better. All in all, it's a solid book, and certainly a step or two (or three) away from what passes for ordinary in the Big Two-dominated marketplace. Granted, it's sometimes on the obtuse side, and things are often only made clear upon reading the entirety of the arc, but Dyshart has brought a lyric sense and voice to the book that has been missing since the days of Moore and Veitch's writing. And the art is solid, if not amazing (Breccia is really something once he gets going.)
That said, the book seems to have trouble getting traction in the marketplace (even if you follow Dyshart's admonition to regard the numbers with skepticism), which is disappointing, but not particularly surprising. Expectations for the character, given his pedigree are one of two things: insanely, unreachably high or achingly low. Neither of which really enhance salability. And of course, it's something different, which always goes over big...
Dyshart also talks about his other book, Captain Gravity which comes out from Pennyfarthing Press, and I can somehow never get my hands on. Well, with a trade collection together, hopefully that'll be a bit easier.
