Volume 2: Things get even weirder.
Swamp Thing is such a unique story, and I love seeing both the story and the art start to break free from what comics had been. Alan Moore is a genius, and this book was great.
There is one 3-issue arc in here, and several issues that are more individual. The big arc was great, and got way more dark than I was expecting. “Pog” was weird in a lighter way, and while I was put off at first, I was a fan by the end. And the last two stories moved the overall narrative forward: the first spills some secrets (and features a couple Sandman characters!) and the second is a love story with some beautifully trippy art.
