Swamp Thing, Volume 3: Rotworld: The Green Kingdom by Scott Snyder

2.0

I think I liked this better than I expected to after reading the prologue. In all, I found it kind of slight, lacking any real depth or insight into environmental issues. Which, I mean, that's fine. Not every comic has to be deep. I was just hoping for more. Even the big battles felt by the numbers to me, though there were some nice moments. In particular, I enjoyed Barbara Gordon as literal Batgirl (or should that be Girl-Bat?) and the grotesque versions of DC heroes. I really liked a lot of the Alec and Abby stuff too. Ultimately, though, there's just too much lame speechifying from the Big Bad, expository dialogue, and clunky writing that drag everything down. Not to mention the Batman ex Machina plot device, which really made me groan.
