Thanks for reading. Support the Official Release at your Local Comic Shop.

Connor Gray
Thanks for the storytime
Henry Rogers
Comics are really completely destroyed by feminists and sjws if Guillem isn't even allowed to draw characters with big breast or cleavage anymore.
Everybody knows about the censorship Zatanna had to suffer but even Circe's outfit got censored to no longer show cleavage. Same goes for her breast size
Eli Gonzalez
comics are really especially bad this week so far
William Barnes
>Everybody knows about the censorship Zatanna had to suffer
We do? Do you remember what she looked like?
Lucas Morgan
estrogen-thing
Jacob Butler
There is nothing wrong with WORDSWORDSWORDS but tynion's prose is very meh
Brandon Thompson
Wait, I thought the original Swamp Thing was dead, and the current one really was the resurrected soul of Alec Holland?
Charles Stewart
Damning by faint praise, but this is the first time I've given a shit about the JLD being utter jobbers and failures. And of course it involves Swampy.
Fuck this whole event making everyone job to wank the new OC villains and justify the injustice league dark instead of, you know, being CREATIVE about introducing supernatural dread like the old school comics did with Decreator and the Candlemaker and the Jin-En-Mok.
The other silver lining being that Circe Rojo looks somewhat better than I feared, I guess.
Matthew Jones
creepy
Kayden Hall
Hmm. Looks like this exact situation can use the WISDOM OF SOLOMON. Where the fuck is Shazam?
Ryder Walker
You know modern writers care not for continuity.
Jason Richardson
Nothing at all, nothing at all.
Adrian Carter
It's like if Claremont is trying to be like Gaiman but he took a mild sedative before writing.
Jonathan Nguyen
That's pretty horrifying, right there.
Brody Phillips
Why would there be a parliament just for flowers?
It seems like a oddly specific thing, unless it was some part of The Green TRYING to branch off for independence.
Hunter Sanders
The Parliament of Trees was destroyed. The Parliament of Flowers has stepped in to replace it, under the will of the Green.
Unfortunately, its first champion was the biggest fuckup in the history of fuckups.
John Parker
Nothing can compare to the fuck up that was the Saga of the Sprout, especially if you continue it into BKV SwampThing
Robert Roberts
Izzat how green powers work?
Elijah Moore
>The parliament of trees were destroyed and replaced by an OC
Of course it was. Tynion comes from the Snyder school of Narcissism where you mess around with canon enough so that everyone from now on has to refer to your subpar run.
Jose Reyes
Read the credits dummy. It’s Ram V
Nicholas Morgan
Not entirely sure. I think Woodrue is just hijacking the King of Flowers position as champion of the Green and it can't be assed to differentiate.
'K. Personally, I just see the Parliament of Flowers as being a temporary replacement at the most. It'll likely sprout up into a new Parliament of Trees over time.
Cooper Phillips
But it's also a problem shared by Tynion.
He ruins simple and effective pages with his incessant boxes.
Xavier Stewart
I know he's going for a classic Alan Moore type thing but it works against him.
Logan Wilson
Hunter Adams
>It'll likely sprout up into a new Parliament of Trees over time.
I'm aware of that but the way DC is structured is that these mediocre stories are gonna be considered essential.
Jaxon Evans
>Parliment of Trees
>Parliment of Flowers
Where is my Parliment of Fruits?
Chase Ramirez
>Where the fuck is Shazam?
forever segregated into his own book because god (johns) hates us
Jaxon Ross
I got ya Parliament of Fruit ROIGHT EAHH.
COME TASTE THE BANANA.
Logan Hall
Does he ever interact with other magical people?
I swear it feels like the last time was when every magical being ever fought The Spectre.
Hell, he wasn't even among the magical kidnap victims of Forever Evil, I don't think.
Levi Ward
Based
Ayden Anderson
So just devour the current champ to become the champ.
For a bunch of plants that is a very animalistic thought process.
Jace Bennett
Eugh, it's rotten and soft.
Evan Powell
Do you?
Cameron Adams
Plants can pull off some shit that makes honey badgers seem like jolly chaps who might sing you a song about rainbows. You don't want to know what kind of warfare they wage under the ground.
Ethan White
This is rather comparable to her current one though. Just sleeveless
Wyatt Edwards
That´s cruel
Lucas Barnes
i miss those days
Grayson Bell
Why? Her current costume is quite the same as that, just different coloured. Do you like black so much?
Cameron Rogers
Is he wearing a thong!?
Wyatt Bennett
That costume looks like shit. Her stage magician and lobster hat ones look better you dumb outragefag
Ryan Brooks
Garden-Thing!
Owen Diaz
But that was written by Snyder himself.
Bentley Parker
>implying the Green cares
Maybe if he hadn't died so brutally or if he wasn't so obsessed with the loss of his son, things would be different. But even then, I doubt it.
Jeremiah Nguyen
Tynion gets his marching orders from Snyder so if Snyder wanted to walk back his own retcon then so be it
We could maybe take it as a symbolic "you have to bury your old self" take
Gabriel Myers
Point of order: Not an OC, an existing goddess character retconned into being a primordial cosmic force. Circe having Hecate's soul goes back to War of the Gods, Hecate being THE COSMIC BEING OF MAGIC is the asspull.
Gavin Thomas
Heh
Robert Brown
Tynion has said he wants to use him. Maybe Johns is blocking him?
Josiah Lee
I miss Earth-2 Khalid.
Ayden Turner
Andrew Morris
>No...wait...
Swampy is way too chill for all of this.
Brandon Flores
Long-winded narration aside, this is one of the better horror stories DC's done in awhile, and one that really highlighted Swampy and used him to good effect.
Henry Reyes
Good.
Easton Johnson
Being corrupted by the Batman Who Laughes in Batman/Superman.
Austin Anderson
He's literally lost his entire damn purpose and the whole reason he exists to begin with, and is watching another poor soul who just can't rationalize that his old life is gone. I'm surprised he's even as stable as he currently is.
Ethan Morales
Not thrilled with Garden-Thing's design.
Nathaniel Rodriguez
Swampy has some pretty amazing patience, all things considered. He keeps things in proportion and has detached himself from his inevitably becoming a member of the Parliament of Trees, knowing that he's part of an eternal cycle. He's very Zen like that.
Michael Russell
Christ, will you shut up, you incel shit-fondler?
Benjamin Brooks
You're soaking in it.
Justin Adams
Is Justice League Dark actually any good?
haven't touched any DC comics since New 52
Carson Gonzalez
If you haven't touched any comics since the nu52, Justice League Dark is NOT the place where you want to pick back up. You've missed out on a lot of good shit that you should read first before you get into anything that's currently running.
Jason Rivera
then what are some good runs to catch up?
Joshua Gray
From the nu52, at launch, I would say...
Morrison's Action Comics, Johns' Green Lanterns, All Star Western, I, Vampire, Animal Man, Swamp Thing, Frankenstein: Agent of SHADE, Robinson's Earth-2, Lemire's Green Arrow, Soule's Red Lanterns, Batman Incorporated, Batwoman, Gotham Academy, Gotham by Midnight, Grayson, Tomasi's Green Lantern Corps, Larfleeze, Sinestro, Demon Knights, Mieville's Dial H.
Those are the main runs I'd recommend from the nu52. Johns' Justice League was also pretty good after a certain point, but the first couple of arcs were pure trash.
Jose Peterson
holy shit thanks user
i have a ton of new comics in my backlog now
Jaxson Rodriguez
No sweat. Enjoy!
Oh shit, almost for Tomasi's Detective Comics and Snyder's Batman. Tomasi really sells Bruce and Damian working together, when I had strong doubts about them, going into the nu52.
Ayden Hall
>you dumb outragefag
It's her ancestral costume from her mother's side
