The creativity and philosophical interest of the plots is still on the rise from the latter half of the previous book. As someone with a tenuous grasp on the wider DC canon, there is plenty that still goes over my head, but what I do get is the best of Swamp Thing yet despite structurally being basically the denouement. Cosmic horror was not where I expected this vegetable to go! It is inspiring how Moore commits to the implications and intricacies of his plots instead of racing back to the status quo after the biggest explosion.

I'm not sold on the ethics of ST's excuse for not fixing the climate and feeding the children but I get that Eden is not really compatible with the DC Earth. Abby and ST's ending is written with the respect and love that they have earned however, so I can't be mad.
