He was going to kill her because she didn't love him, but she does, because that's her superpower. (OK, it sounds dumb when I write it like that…)

My thing is that I … appreciated Sandman and Watchmen, but I never warmed to them. At some point I realized I'm not a mature comics type of person. (Clearly, if I'm reading Dejah Thoris…) But I'll check out Swamp Thing, you guys have piqued my interest.
