Well, guys and gals!

I am reading The Saga Of The Swamp Thing now, should get the third book in a week. I also read the first trade of the New 52 Swamp Thing. I saw it has a cross over with Animal Man, which made me interested in this character. So after doing some research, I found out it also has a few horror themes and stuff, which I find very interesting. I love horror. Also, it's written by Lemire, a writer who I really like (Green Arrow, a bit of Constantine, Sweet Tooth and so on). And the cover of the second New 52 Annual. My god, I love it!

So I was wondering. Should I expect something like Swamp Thing, but... the other side around? Swamp Thing is the avatar of the green, Animal is the avatar of the red. They both fight The Rot. Does Animal Man also have these nasty, horror-ish villains like Arcane? I saw a picture of 'The Hunters Three' or something like that and it looked amazing!

Also, I really like the Saga of Swamp Thing and I'm going to read the whole series and then continue with the new 52, reading the first volume again. Is there something like this for AM too? Something that's, continuity-wise a prequel to the new 52 story?

I hope my questions are clear and not dumb or something! Thanks!

Bump! I have the exact same questions as the OP. Plus I'm to lazy to make an unnecessary thread when there's this one :P

So thoughts??

@transformers1024: @cubicturtle: Start reading from the new 52 and if you wish you can go back and read Grant Morrison's run.

If you like the Animal Man Annual #2 cover just wait until you read it, i almost cried!
