Vol. 1 Absolute Swamp Thing by Alan Moore?

I was considering getting the Alan Moore absolutes. I was reading the initial release of the absolutes have binding tearing/separation issues. Has that since been fixed with the later releases?

Is there a huge difference between the Dark Genesis release in December, besides the paper and coloring?

Should I start with the Bronze Age omnibus before reading the absolutes?

Yes. When Swamp Thing Vol. 1 was cancelled Swamp Thing story continued in other series (mainly Challengers Of The Unknown), these stories weren't collected in the Bronze Age omnibus (they were collected in the Bronze Age TPBs), but they will be collected in Dark Genesis omnibus

Is it worth for me to wait then and get the Dark Genesis set? I will most likely get the Alan Moore Absolutes this month and then would wait for Dark Genesis set if it is worth getting that over the Wein/Wrightson Absolute, unless you think the Wein/Wrightson Absolute is fine to start with.
