Swamp Thing, Vol. 2: Love and Death by Alan Moore

4.0

Alright, all that I said about the first volume still applies here but there were some one shot chapters that I felt weren't as up to par like the alien one. Anton Arcane also was built up so much and I think we got some rly interesting stuff about death/ decay's relationship with life and flourishing. Even so, AA isn't my favorite idk why. The trip through Hell w Etrigan was sick though. Also loved the psychedelic "sex scene" just v v visually stunning. Speaking of visuals anytime we get spreads of the natural world, plants and insects its just so striking ugh. There were however certain chapters where I felt the illustration quality randomly dropped. This was also the only one that I read the scan of instead of the physical which I'm sure also rly affected things. Anyway I liked this one a lot but ultimately I think its my least favorite. Even though the stakes are raised here I just think there is a lot that will be done much much better later on.
