Alan Moore's Swamp Thing remains a masterpiece. Realizing that Alan Moore basically layed the ground for Sandman has been a true game changer for me. This volume is particularly great, and reaches peaks for the series in horror, one off stories, art, and the general cosmic fantasy mash-up nonsense that is among my favourite genres of comics fiction.

A Tangled mess of a Hellblazer/Swamp Thing story tired into a DC crisis with Deadman, The Spectre, Doctor Date, Doctor Occult, and the Cain and Able from Sandman/House Of Secrets thrown in.
Swamp Thing just doesn't lend itself to an appraiser superhero story. It feels tedious.
The beginning of the book, which focuses on expanding Swamp Thing's horror mythology is now interesting but It's struggle to call it "good". The Abigail portion of this story where she's arrested because a nature photographer sold pictures of her canoodling with Swamp Thing is ... not a solid or logical story.
I'd you like deep cut DC continuity, this might be fun. But if you're looking for a good Swamp Thing story, maybe skip this one

The weirder, and more cosmic Swamp Thing gets, the more I love it. This is my favourite so far.
Moore handled the Crisis in a way only be could. He brought metaphysics and metafiction to comics. In addition, the best of the mystics and darker characters nearly steal the show from the Swamp Thing. Spectre, Dr. Fate, Deadman, Constantine, Phantom Stranger, Zatanna, and Etrigan are fully realized for what they can be/what they were before the New 52 reboot.
