With this volume comes a satisfying end to the Saga of the Swamp Thing. As his powers have grown, this book continues Swamp Thing’s journey through space, which lasts longer than I expected. Most comic “deaths” are reversed far too quickly. And while this technically revives him the next issue, it leaves him stranded in space for quite a few issues.
This book goes super weird places and I loved it. Swamp Thing travels through space trying to return home and dealing with completely new issues compared to his time on earth. “Loving the Alien” especially was unique in both story and style, and I’m sure was very controversial.
When it finally comes time for his 64-issue story to end, Alan Moore wraps it in a way that I felt was right for the character.
