A review by stewreads
Saga of the Swamp Thing, Book Five by Alan Moore
5.0
Noticing that this volume was shorter than the rest of the series, I expected it not to be as good. Or at least as full as the rest of the series. And flipping through it, I saw Batman's face as well as Jim Gordon and even the Joker. Let's just say, I didn't have high hopes for this one.
And it turned out to be my favorite so far. The overall storyline (however ridiculous it might be) felt extremely well put together and, despite the length, not rushed at all. The final issue was the best moment of the entire series, and it could have served as an incredible ending if Moore decided to call it quits there. It's quite a testament to Moore's talent that he decided to place most of this storyline in Gotham City and he still didn't manage to screw it up. I love the Swamp Thing. My girlfriend is jealous.
