4.0

First time getting into Swamp Thing and it is a wild ride. I'm extremely unversed in the DC universe, but that's okay because I'd rather this be something entirely separate that I can just enjoy, rather than more "capeshit."

Really loving Moore's exploration of monsters, nature, and humanity. In typical Moore fashion, he is not staying away from the transcendent as much as grounding it in the physical, which is both refreshing and interesting.
