With three issues to go the creative team have finally shown us Levi's origin and what triggered the link with the green, I already know that I won't be satisfied with this and will want more issues and tales from V, Perkins and Spicer. Read Full Review

As the Suicide Squad hunt the Swamp Thing one of their ranks makes first contact and forces Levi Kamei to relive his past. It's another glorious and horrific issue that is rich in writing, art and colour from Ram V, Mike Perkins and Mike Spicer. Read Full Review

DC Comics'THE SWAMP THING is a beautiful series, intent on being bravely human. This creative team uses this big, green monster to help us examine our own burdens and scars. Yet, they're never preachy or heavy-handed. Everything is done with subtlety and finesse. Read Full Review

Mike Perkins delivers the perfect amount of beauty, grit and darkness all through the art in this issue. Each page is filled with amazing imagery. Read Full Review

Visually brilliant, chilling and heartbreaking, issue #7 offered a much needed insight into Levis past. We are getting closer to the finale, and I for one cannot wait to watch it all unfold! Read Full Review

This isn't like anything else DC is putting out at the moment, and it's absolutely a must-read. Read Full Review

If you're picking up The Swamp Thing #7, it's clear you're not going anywhere. Somewhat surprisingly, this issue is also not a bad place for a new reader to jump on. If you weren't sure about The Swamp Thing, this issue does a good job of recapping where things are while also giving an interesting look at Levi's character. Of course you should go back and get all the issues, but this isn't a bad place to jump in to one DC"s best series. Read Full Review

While the final splash delivers an excellent cliffhanger, it also feels overdue after two issues of jungle encounters between these entities. However, the ideas and images are crystalline and remain a pleasure to see articulated across each page. Read Full Review

Swamp Thing #7 is a little bit good and a little bit bad. After 7 issues (and $28) we finally get some insight into Levi's personality, only to discover he's a very smart idiot. After the weirdly misplaced myth his father uses to make a point, the apple must not fall far from the tree. The art is solid, the pacing is excellent, but to be this far into a 10-issue arc with such a lopsided story is a waste. Read Full Review

Masterpiece...

We're back up, when it comes to quality, in what might just be the best issue yet. Here, we get a lot more of Levi's backstory. We see his strained relationship with his family, which details more of how he was like with his family as well as his connection to the green in order to become its avatar. Along with Perkins' always great art, this was a well-written issue for V. and I hope we're back on track after the quality of this miniseries slightly dipped with the last two issues.

Finally getting into what makes Levi the newest Avatar of the Green. His ties to his homelands have the Green confront his humanity in the best and worst way. He made a choice that in his eyes would've helped people like him but not so much for everybody else in his village. It really brings out that sense of isolation common in Swamp Thing. But now he gets a chance to see things more clearly with a stronger sense of connection after retreating into his mind for so long. And if the Suicide Squad want to do that to the Green much like how Levi's handlers did to his village, he won't have it. It's a very good story structure that speaks to character and themes.

The past meets the present in this issue, which is yet another fantastic installment of this series.

I'm really enjoying this series and I'm hoping we get more than just the 10 that were initially solicited. The highlight of the issue was watching Levi finally find his motivation to be Swamp Thing, thanks to a memory sequence led by the critically underused Nightmare Nurse. Ram V has a fantastic ability to weave personal stories into whatever genre he's working in, whether it's horror, fantasy or tradition cape comics and Swamp Thing #7 is perfect example of it.

We're finally getting some reason to care a bit about Levi and Perkins did an awesome job here.

This is pretty good, but I'm just not getting why I should care.
