A review by sonofatreus
Saga of the Swamp Thing Book Three by Alan Moore
4.0
(3.5 stars) I had to think about this review for a bit. After three volumes, I am still in love with the art of Swamp Thing. It continues to impress me to the point that sometimes I just stare at the page in amazement.
That said, this volume was a little weak in terms of story. Swamp Thing's powers were more fully realized, which was great, but this volume felt very serialized. The individual stories were almost totally unrelated, apart from the fact that they each saw ST trying to understand what/who he is. This meant that when 1/3 of the volume is dedicated to a weak antagonist (e.g., Nukeface), it drags the whole story down.
Still, I enjoy the character, the writing, and the art, even if the story is sometimes a bit slow. Will definitely continue reading these.
