A review by chloekg
Reunion by Alan Moore

3.0

Eh. As Stephen Bissette writes in the introductory pages, Alan had personal projects more demanding than Swamp Thing and used Vol. 6 to gently tie the loose threads and let other authors step up. The melange d'artists made for a funky juxtaposition of pulp-flash-sci-fi against experimental comic stuff. There are little allusions here and there to delight one's sensibility. This volume contains the most efficient revenge sequence I've seen in literature. It's also a bizarrely gentle revenge sequence. Revenge accomplished, the reunion itself surprised me with its tender erotic power. All told, it's less of a pleasure to read and the plot functions heavy-handedly as a narrative wrap-up. It's still fun, still peppered with staggeringly impressive bits.
