Saga of the Swamp Thing: Book Five by Alan Moore
4.0
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.
