Book Reviews of Swamp Thing Vol. 4: A Murder of Crows
Book Review: Graphic SF Reader
Summary: 4 Stars
Coming up to the fiftieth issue of Swamp Thing, and also the time of Crisis On Infinite Earths.
This time, Swamp Thing needs some help, and he ends up in an alliance of a whole bunch of the groovy magical and supernatural characters that DC has floating around, including The Phantom Stranger and Deadman. Magic vs Magic to keep Heaven intact, that sort of thing.
There are trippy bits here, too, as eating bits of Swamp Thing can do odd things to your mind.
Summary of Swamp Thing Vol. 4: A Murder of Crows
How did the DC character most noted for simplicity handle thehyper-complexity of the Crisis on Infinite Earths? In the ever-able hands of Alan Moore, Swamp Thing: A Murder of Crows rises above the mid-1980s corporate reorganization to grant our hero his apotheosis into his current plant elemental form. Fans of John Constantine will eat up the smart-aleck astral con man's performance throughout, and the central struggle--uniting good and evil against something much bigger and older than either--is classic Moore. The art is bold and beautiful, organic by necessity, and contributes as much to the reader's suspense as the script. It seems that Moore et al. have spent so much time transcending their medium that they may have created a new one of their own. --Rob LightnerHow did the DC character most noted for simplicity handle the hyper-complexity of the Crisis on Infinite Earths?
