Swamp Thing: The Bronze Age Vol. 3 by Martin Pasko
3.0
This era of Swamp Thing is ambitious, but it quickly gets tangled in a web of plot threads that slow the progress to a crawl. Some great moment-to-moment scenes, but as a whole, it unfortunately doesn't quite add up.
And then, in the last few issues, Steve Bissette and John Totleben show up to take over the art duties, and suddenly it’s amazing. (And, of course, You-Know-Who starts writing the book as soon as these issues are over.)
Seeing where the book was at before Bissette, Totleben, Moore, and Veitch took over makes me respect their contributions even more. If that’s the era of SWAMP THING that you enjoy most, I don’t know if you’ll get much out of this one until the very end. But it is interesting from a historical perspective.
