It is extraordinary that this plot line could swallow up the entirety of the previous, earth shattering/world defining, story. Nothing matters more than Swamp Thing and Abby’s relationship, and this collection is the purest testament to it. My favorite parts of this storyline has been Swamp Thing’s all powerful control and growth; I’ve grown to cherish his humanity, too. This collection absolutely and perfectly nails this balance. It provides such a primal, emotional payoff. The final chapter is best described as every synonym of painful, but all of them fall short. It’s soul crushing.
