When search ata miniseries likeSwamp matter , readers see a contained story with a beginning , mediate , and death . By place a detonating equipment on the issue of issues , a creator and publisher are telling a reader,“this is how long the report will be . “Sometimes a floor needs room to rest and an take will be added or even convey off as the creators tweak the story mid - product . But that ’s not what bechance withSwamp Thing . The story was plan for ten issues and the tenth chapter had a very rude and emotionally satisfying decision for its new primary character . But the series was selling well and DC obviously ask the originative team to keep it going . There ’s nothing inherently wrong with that . If a series is doing well , a creative squad should absolutely be brought back for a follow - up or a continuation . Yet this is a series elaboration . DC is call Swamp Thing ’s next issuesa " time of year two . " They want to tack on the follow - up to the original rather than have it stand on its own .
It beg the question why did DC ever put a chapiter on the serial at all . Books are invariably released without being designated as an ongoing or miniseries . The title goes for as long as it can and the publisher either cancel it before a previous decision or advertises a final issue that wraps up the story nicely . DC does neither with Swamp Thing , select to solicit the record book as a miniskirt - series and then unfold it further into a prospicient miniseries ( if sixteen issues could even be weigh mini at that stage ) . It also take up the motion of whether DC would give the series another extension if it continue to grow in popularity . Perhaps it would make good sense at that point just to promote it into an on-going title , which is probably what they should ’ve done now .
It ’s deserving noting that take ten does contain a teaser . Jason Woodrue , also known as the classicSwamp matter villain the Floronic Man , look in the issue ’s final moments and beleaguer a connexion to the desert villain that appeared earlier in the serial . So it ’s certainly possible that Ram V snuck that in there as a story thread that could be draw for a potential follow - up . DC just went about giving him that chance in a very singular way . Either manner , Swamp Thingcame to a innate conclusion , and DC should have prise that .
