A review by trilbynorton
Saga of the Swamp Thing Book Four by Alan Moore
3.0
This is where Moore's "American Gothic" storyline gets crushed under its own weight. While the previous volume was made up of standalone horror tales loosely linked by John Constantine's involvement and the promise of answers to come, this volume sees events come to an apocalyptic head. One issue is a direct tie-in with the then ongoing Crisis on Infinite Earths, and it's as of the bloated and unnecessarily convoluted plotting of the standard comics crossover event infects Moore's usually economically evocative writing.
