Moore gamely shows the Crisis' affect on Swamp Thing's world while slowly evolving the character from humanoid plant to force of nature. ( )the further you get into the anals of swamp thing, resurrected by alan moore, the better it gets. i felt like the curse was a real turning point in the comic just getting weirder and cooler. John Constantine knows that he needs to build up Swamp Thing's metaphysical and magical might, to face the trials that are to come. He faces multiple antagonists here, including some vampires that have a quite clever way to keep out of the son, and a slightly odd werewolf. http://graphicsf.blogspot.com/2007/02... Alan Moore's tenure on the Swamp Thing title is considered to be truly groundbreaking. There's massive opportunity for over-the-top farce in Swamp Thing, but Moore takes the character seriously and spins complex tales of love, humanity, evil, and ambiguity. The series is also the birthplace of Hellblazer's John Constantine, and the contrast between Constantine's smart-mouthed, "victory by any means necessary" attitude and Swamp Thing's slow-talking, moral, and fiercely loyal personality is fantastic. This series isn't for the squeamish; we're talking radioactive zombies, dismemberment, creepy-crawlies, etc., but if you like your horror to be smart, well-written, and funny, you need to check this out. no reviews | add a review
