SFF Clean-up 2023: Zero to Hero

This was fine but I didn't love it. I don't think I could appreciate the art properly. The story begins with a wrap-up of a lot of previous issues that I didn't know about so that was sort of confusing. The plot went quickly and I couldn't sink into the book.

I do really like the idea of The Green and that Swamp Thing isn't who he thinks he is! It's a very gothic feeling book and I don't think I expected it to veer as much as it did into horror although I probably should have expected that. Alan Moore always sees deeply into the things that truly scare us, like not truly knowing the people we love or finding that those people will betray us.

Reading this three years later for the second time, I found I could appreciate the art and writing more. There are still aspects of this that are products of the era it came out in (and which I do not enjoy), but I'm happy that I've rediscovered an interest in this series.

No soy de historias de superheroes, pero Watchmen está en el top 1 del MySpace de mi corazón, así que cuando vi esto gratis en Amazon dije ¿por qué no? Y ahora puedo confirmar que soy de lo que sea que escriba Alan Moore.

The Swamp Thing es la historia de una criatura introvertida que sólo busca estar en paz consigo misma. Que navega sus miedos, se aferra a su humanidad a pesar de sus traumas, expone sus vulnerabilidades sin vergüenza, y está siempre presente para defender a sus amigos — aún cuando lo único que realmente desea es ver el atardecer rodeado de cocodrilos y pajaritos en la tranquilidad de su hogar... el pantano.

¿Es acaso The Swamp Thing la pureza personificada? La respuesta a esta pregunta no los sorprenderá.

Su corazón y su conciencia deben ser protegido sa toda costa.

«Are you happy?
Yes.
Where will you go to?
Where I always go. Back home. Back to the swamp.»

Swamp Thing c'est l'histoire d'un être qui se demande s'il est un monstre ou s'il est encore humain. Certaines personnes autour de lui disent qu'il est toujours l'être qu'il était avant sa transformation tandis qu'une majorité de gens le jugent sur son apparence.

Cette BD a été écrite par le génie du genre : Alan Moore. Il a réussi un coup de maître en transformant cette série d'horreur en quelque chose de beaucoup plus profond. J'adore la quête existentielle de Swamp Thing. Il est entouré de personnages qui ont une histoire derrière eux qui les rendent touchant. Même les méchants ne sont pas unidimensionnels. en résumé, les personnages ne sont pas tout noir ou tout blanc.

C'est une autre des multiples réussites d'Alan Moore que j'ai la chance de lire.
