The levels of the writing, the levels of the events, the levels of the characters, all got higher and higher. Illustrators: Stephen Bissette, John Tottleben, Rick Veitch & Shawn McManus This Hardcover TPB collects "Swamp Thing" #28-34 plus Annual #2, and along with some material from "House of Secrets" #92 The first volume was great but the second one is even greater! This is excellent storytelling and I'm an idiot for not diving in sooner. When Abby & Swampy decide to become boyfriend-girlfriend, your mind immediately goes to how the fuck is that going to work, and in an unbelievable turn of events, Uncle Alan actually gives you an answer that satisfies. Oh, and lest I forget, Moore somehow manages to make sex with a swamp monster into a lovely story. Some of the older comics have art that ends up looking dated and scratchy, but I don't see how these panels will ever go out of style. Swamp Thing also confronts Holland's death, his ghost, and his bones in a touching story that was very well done.įor me, the imagery in this is off the charts, as well. I'm just loving seeing DC's mystic characters all over the place in this series. Jason Blood as Etrigan shows up to guide him through Hell and it was great. This sets Alec (not Alec!) on a quest to the underworld to save Abby's soul. His appearance was only teased in the last volume, but in this one Arcane shows up and completely wrecks Swamp Thing and Abby.
And while I really loved the first volume, this just took it all to a whole other level of horror comic storytelling. People kept telling me that Moore's series only got better with each issue, but I thought they were probably just trying to encourage me not to stop after the 1st volume. Dark, terrifying, swampy goodness from start to finish.
