La cosa del pantano. Libro seis by Stephen R. Bissette, Alan Moore

I thought I had read this one when I read all of the other Saga of the Swamp Things. This was Alan Moore's last run with Swamp Thing. For the most part I enjoyed it.

It wraps up the story he started quite nicely. Favorite of the group was probably #61. Least favorite is #60

If you have enjoyed Moore's Swamp Thing run, then this is a five star book. It starts as an Adam Strange/Rann Thanagar / Darkseid DC cosmic book before it settles back down to the story More has been focusing on since volume two of his run. Then it puts all the pieces he's been playing with back in the box and ends with a Happily For Now conclusion.

I didn't love most of it, but in the second it third issue in the collection, Moore switches up his entire narrative device game in service of some trippy, non-traditional art. He gets very spiritual, but allowed the art to be center stage.

It works. Aside from the first appearance of John Constantine, it's easily my favorite part of his run. And it made me a little less irritated that Swamp Thing In Space was happening.

I'm still not a huge fan of this run, but he does close it off nicely.

I really liked the beginning of ST's travel into the unknown. The blue planet issue was by far my favorite. Some of the others, in particular the one about the feminine mech-planet thing was a little out of my depth.

Overall, not my favorite arc from the Alan Moore run, but still enjoyable.

Not gonna lie, I think that if everyone read Alan Moore’s run on Swamp Thing, I think we would all be better off.

Definitely one of the best comic runs in the world. I’ll miss you Swampy.

I wasnt big on the sudden switch from horror/action to sci-fi, but Loving the Aliens was freaking CRAZYYY, some of my favorite art yet and def one of the wildest plot points in the run... The reunion with abby was sooo sweet too. I don't know if im entirely satisfied with the ending, but i will say this was a very good comic run and im glad my bf made me read it 😸
