depreydeprey's review against another edition

4.0

The Southern part of Swamp Thing is often either done badly or ignored but Nancy Collins puts Louisianna front an center in this huge selection. There are cross burnings, Southern politics including a David Duke stand in and even an entire issue set during Mardi Gras. The Duke stuff was particularly topical as they were written in 1991 when Duke, a dispicable former klansman and American bottomfeeder, was running for Govoner of Louisianna.
Overall, I liked the art and all the left turns the series took in Collins' hands though after 25 issues or so I was ready for a new voice.
