I love the first issue of this volume. It's a great example of how to do a hard reset and continue to make the title intriguing. The concept is interesting, the dialogue is focused, and Morrison and Millar seem to be setting up a long, intricate plot.
After that issue, it falls to pieces really quickly. Evil Swamp Thing, The Council Of Rocks, Totally Not Kraven The Hunter, Swamp Thing Disguising Himself As His Wife's Dead Abusive Ex Husband? No. Thank. You.
It seems as though each issue provided Millar (Morrison leaves after four issues) with an entirely new plot idea which he vaguely tied to the previous volume. Abby's motivations seem to change panel to panel, and I have no idea who some of the Council Of Rock characters are supposed to be.
Nothing after the initial set up worked for me at all.
If you're a hardcore Millar or Morrison fan, this might be interesting to pick up and see how each of them have evolved from this writing style.

This is my first time reading about Swamp Thing. Much more intricate and deep a story than I thought. Can't say I grasped everything because the book jumped around a lot and there are different plots going on within the book. This book states there is a bigger plan, yet I was confused about this one. I do like man's connection with nature though. I liked the diversity and age range of the characters, and the different locations (although I did get confused on where they were at at times). Images are bold, for the most part easy to understand, colorful, and easy to read. Overall, a great story if you are into this sort of thing, but not me. I was bored towards the end and ready to be done.
