Swamp Thing On a planet of sentient plants, Swamp Thing is inherently ‘the horror.’ And it’s up to a grieving and aged Green Lantern to handle his arrival...it all makes for a great issue and one of the better Green Lantern comics I’ve read of late.

Swamp Thing I really liked this issue. The sci-fi artwork is incredible, the jokes about the frustrating nature of Adam’s relationship were great, and there was almost a self-aware sense of humor to the whole thing...but it never felt cheap. Really enjoyed it.

Swamp Thing This issue is alternately about Abby mourning and revisiting Dennis and Liz from earlier issues, Dennis who is a sociopathic monster and violently gaslighting Liz. It’s one of the scarier issues, but very well done, I thought.

Swamp Thing The fury of Swamp Thing is unleashed on Gotham and mostly manifests in pretty vegetation and flowers. This issue (and arc) is kind of a tone switch, with no horror touches as of yet...but that’s just fine. I’m really digging it, lots of DCU touches.

Swamp Thing With the battle for Heaven in the other world now over, we transition quickly back to our other major dangling plot thread — Abby’s arrest after photos of her consorting with Swamp Thing. Feels like the book is starting to move in a new direction.

Swamp Thing Man, John Totleben is on his own with the artwork here and what he puts out is some of the best horror illustrations that have appeared in the book to date. Really great, scary stuff for a very tense issue filled with struggle.

Saga of the Swamp Thing This is probably my favorite full arc yet, blending as it does horror cartooning, a high-action crescendo, and a lesson in what our hero truly is from none other than John Constantine, arriving to say in DC continuity.

Saga of the Swamp Thing So, what is most impressive about this arc is how fully-formed John Constantine is as a character, like he just fell easily out of Moore’s head. It helps that he looks like Sting and has information we as an audience are badly wanting.

Saga of the Swamp Thing So here it is...the full introduction of Constantine, who looks here a bit younger (but didn’t we all back then...I mean, I wasn’t even born yet). Anyway, Constantine acts like a guide to Swamp Things new status quo, and it’s great.

Saga of the Swamp Thing A story about encounters with Nuke Face told mostly through vignettes. We get that he’s a very real threat to Swamp Thing, that he’s a danger to any human nearby, and some rotten kids gave him his name via teasing.

Saga of the Swamp Thing A classic tale of a woman falling in love with a man’s consciousness that has been transferred to swamp detritus to serve as an Earth elemental. Timeless tale, really...this issue is well done but the baseline concept is a little odd.

Saga of the Swamp Thing This issue was basically a good ol fashioned monster slugfest, featuring as it does a three-way superhero/villain battle with the side characters caught between. The payoff was strong though, with recent issues building to it well.

Saga of the Swamp Thing Not quite the pure dopamine blast of absurdly good comic book-ing that was last issue, but still an utterly excellent and nigh-perfect comic. The subtitle for this one could be “Woodrue’s got humanity issues too.”

Saga of the Swamp Thing I’m glad I read the Pasko run; this issue would have been different without it. That said, the level up in the quality of the comic is instantly noticable, even in this story that’s called Loose Ends because it has so much to tie up.
