The Rick Veitch run ended unsatisfying. Not (only) because his run was cancelled But this last trade? There's nothing really happening for a while and simply a bit too weird at first (ok, the first two issues are written by others so no blame on Rick). And when things do get interesting, it stops. Well, except for that terrible annual at the end. A shame.

2.5 stars

Only three stars because it’s unfinished. Veitch left Swamp Thing acrimoniously when DC refused to publish his story about the death of Jesus despite having approved the script. You can easily find the whole script online along with some low-quality but intriguing scans of Michael Zulli’s unfinished art. Neil Gaiman would have followed Veitch as writer of Swamp Thing, but pulled out in solidarity, leaving only one issue, Swamp Thing Annual no. 5, to tease how his run might have gone.

Seguramente la nostalgia me juega en contra aquí, pero siendo fan de lo que hizo en Swamp Thing, Alan Moore, nunca pude leer esta continuación. Y muuchos años después por fin la encuentro y no me decepciona encontrar a los viejos Swampy, Abby y Constantine engendrando un nuevo elemental de la Tierra y continuando con las exploraciones de lo que significa el amor, las obligaciones y el poder. Muy bueno.
