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 😸

El último tomo de Swamp Thing es lamentablemente el peor de todo, no es coincidencia que salga un Linterna Verde en un uno de los números ya que siempre se hacen presentes en las cosas aburridas de la vida.

Pasar la serie de horror y ocultismo mezclado con temáticas sociales a conceptos genéricos de Ciencia Ficción no ayudan mucho, particularmente "Amando al Alienigena" y "Longitud de onda" que reciben una bombeada de parte de Bisette en el prologo de ésta recopilación, la primera siendo un relato soporífero sobre una IA que abusa sexualmente de Swamp Thing y la segunda un capricho de Rick Veitch de encajar a Swampy con los New Gods. Afortunadamente las últimas 2 historias le dan un final bastante digno a todo éste asunto, aunque incluso allí se note un poco el desgaste creativo (o desgano) de Moore.

Como extra viene una suerte de Team-Up entre Superman y Swamp Thing que lo único interesante que tiene es que lo escribió Alan Moore.

Moore’s run on Swamp Thing is truly phenomenal

I may come back and edit this review later to put more thoughts down, but this volume was a letdown after the last two. It has three stories that I felt were necessary and good additions, the rest were filler. I could tell that Moore was stretched thin with his other obligations and perhaps some burnout in the character with the way events twisted and turned in this collection. The final two stories are worth the full read, but it was a weird trip to get there.
