I was hopeful this was not the end of Ram V’s tenure with Swamp Thing and it does appear there’s at least a Dark Crisis special to come hopefully more after that, too. As well, there is no dodging Ram V’s conception of the Green and its fellows as sentient ideas colliding with each other, so many times is the concept mentioned in these pages.īut, everything I’ve enjoyed so far about Ram V’s The Swamp Thing is present here, from Perkins truly drawing at the top of his lungs to the Swamp Thing Levi Kamei, through whom Ram V manages to deliver the horror we expect via a surprisingly angst-free monster-hero. If I might quibble with the finale at all, it’s that Ram V’s gorgeous wordsmithing ramps up even further as we reach the end, to the point where I had to set the book down for a few minutes to ready myself for another page of text (or perhaps it was just the time of night I was reading or the amount of issues I was trying to digest in one sitting). 3: The Parliament of Gears afford Ram V the room for some guest stars, and Mike Perkins' gritty art keeps everything tonally appropriate for a Swamp Thing tale. If anything, perhaps the extra pages in The Swamp Thing Vol.
For a book that was only meant to be 10 issues, Ram V seems to effortlessly expand The Swamp Thing to 16 issues in a way that the final stories feel natural and not tacked-on.
