robwcote 's review for:
Saga of the Swamp Thing Book Four
by Alan Moore
Here again there's an incursion of other elements of the DC continuity, and here again the series is diminished for it. Part of what made a series like Sandman so great was that (excepting the earliest days), the DC universe tended not to feature prominently, so the mythology around the cast of the series itself was not overshadowed. When appearances were made by characters from or inspired by the core continuity, they tended to be Easter eggs, or at least re-contextualized in a way that felt necessary and valuable.
I understand the series were made in different times and under different expectations, but still. I think a Swamp Thing not at all beholden to the whims of the larger DC would have been even better.
Oh, this book was still very good, by the way. Loved lots of the single-issue stories, loved the different kinds of horror faced by Swamp Thing. Just think the run as a work of art might have been stronger had DC allowed it to exist as its own thing.
