4.0

The finale issue alone saves this collection from a 3/5. It was very difficult to engage with Swamp Thing’s multi-planet trek back to Earth. This book leans heavily into the science fiction and alien components previously never explored. This story’s genre evolution from purely horror, detouring into science fiction, and finally landing into pure romance has been a beautiful, meaningful experience. I’ve never wanted characters to spend eternity together more. I’ve never yearned for pure justice to overcome every disgusting tragedy lobbed at them, and my celebrations have never been so robust in watching these characters succeed. Despite the massive gulf in quality between volumes 1-5 and the majority of volume 6, this series nailed the landing. I can forgive the pilgrimage in his name. It’s a must read.
