Saga of the Swamp Thing: Book Five

Saga of the Swamp Thing: Book FiveSaga of the Swamp Thing: Book Five by Alan Moore
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Saga of the Swamp Thing: Book Five collects Saga of the Swamp Thing #51-56.

In this volume, Abbie gets hauled into court for crimes against nature for her relationship with Swamp Thing. Swampy takes his revenge on Gotham and he and Abbie have to deal with the fallout.

This volume feels mostly like the aftermath and consequences of the previous one. Alan Moore explores the depths of Swamp Thing's abilities and takes the book in another direction. His writing is as great as ever, proving that Alan Moore is more than a bitter old magus. The dude could actually write.

Stephen Bissette only providers the covers on these issues. Rick Veitch and Alfredo Alcala provide the art on all but one issue, that one done by John Totleben all by his lonesome. I'm amazed that Alan Moore's run has a unified feel despite the rotation of artists.

This volume felt like a transitional one more than anything else. I'm sad that there's only one more Alan Moore volume but I'm excited about Abbie and Swamp Thing's reunion. Four out of five stars.

  1. Vampires is not at all like in the movies or books. Sure, I understand. You are young you have the whole world open to you. You can be anything that you choose if you apply yourself and try hard to work toward that goal. But being a Vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, But how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity, I can help you solve any problem you are having
