rociovoncina's review against another edition
2.0
Titulo: Swamp Thing: Twin Branches
Autor: Maggie Stiefvater
Año publicado: 2020
Motivo de lectura: Maraton en la cripta
Lectura / Relectura: Lectura
Fisico / Electronico: Electronico
Mi edicion: -
Puntuacion: 2.5/5
No se por donde empezar. Decir que no me gusto para nada seria mentira, decir que me gusto seria mentira.
Por momentos senti que todo era caotico, no hay una trama clara, lo cual es una pena, porque la idea principal era buena.
El arte de portada no tiene nada que ver al arte que se ve dentro de este comic (como si hubieran sido dos artistas completamente distintos). En algunas escenas el arte era destacable, pero en la mayor parte lo senti decepcionante.
Y adentrandome en la historia, no me gusto como manejo Alec su investigacion, cuando hay sufrimiento animal en nombre de la ciencia es un gran no de mi parte, se podria haber hecho 10 veces mejor la investigacion siendo mas cuidadoso.
Y por ultimo, el final lo senti abrupto.

I’m not usually a graphic novel fan, but I really like Maggie Stiefvater. This was an OK but I liked the premise, I feel like I missed some things but I can see that it could be a very good series and I enjoyed it.

Story hits hard. Following a young, but shy dude as he continues his interests of plants while his twin brother just likes to party and makes messes. This may not be a Swamp Thing that eventually ends up working with the JL, but its a Swamp Thing that has a heart.

I won this in a Goodreads giveaway and it was so fun. I’ve never really read a graphic novel before. Alec doesn’t really fit in with people and can’t connect with his twin anymore. He finds his place with his experiments with plants and it all goes awry.

The art- especially at the end?!?!??! STUNNING. I want that tattooed all over me.
I felt like the story was really kinda jumpy at parts, disjointed, but overall the story itself was interesting, engaging and fun.
We need more nature horror like this. WE NEED MORE NATURAL HORROR. So many authors don't get 'what's scary about the woods/nature' correct. I believe Maggie Stiefvater has a very good grasp on it.
Definitely a little.. old for this, but it was still fun and had wonderful messages too.
"Alec, adulthood means you don't have to justify your passions. You don't have to justify your space in this lab. Burn that research if you want. The real experiment here is you."

I'm not normally intro graphic novels, but I was interested because I love Maggie Stiefvater. I didn't previously know anything about the Swamp Thing before, but I am definitely interested in it now! Swamp Things is the backstory of two twins, Alec and Walker Holland. Walker is popular and Alec is more of a nerd who's obsessed with plants. I loved the artwork of the novel. It was beautiful but also gloomy, moody and creepy.
