Adrián Astur Álvarez reviewed Swamp Thing by Alan Moore
Review of 'Swamp Thing' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
The introduction of John Constantine in this volume keeps things interesting and allows for more gothic opportunities of horror but in my opinion Constantine, although great, is the least interesting aspect of these books. Moore continues to hone a style that belongs exclusively to this medium with panel layout and narrative structure in constant dialogue. The stories here can get a little dated (the werewolf characters could probably use some updating) but Moore's storytelling instincts are always fresh and intelligent. I highly recommend this volume, particularly if you have been reading them from the beginning of Alan Moore's run.
