Tefe Holland and Jennifer Reece dive into the Green to recover Levi, but soon find that the Swamp Thing may not want to return.

The Swamp Thing won 2021 by getting an extended life of six additional issue for a "season two in 2022. This issue exemplifies why this happened- the creative team understands the character, his world and how to tell stories that touch the reader while connecting to the past and pushing forward with new ideas that are germane to the concept.

If Capitalism could live and breathe, then the newly resurrected Harper Pilgrim would be what it looked like. And with Swamp Thing still in deep hibernation, will be revived in time? More existential and dark machinations grow and fester in ‘The Swamp Thing' #12 Read Full Review
Perkins delivers some beautiful art on every page of this story. Each character moment has its own visual mood and they work brilliantly together to tell the story. Read Full Review
While Ram V's writing drives this series, Mike Perkins' art is the special sauce that makes it so memorable. In other hands, the new being that emerges at the end could have been nothing unique, but Perkins infuses her with a unique sense of the unknown that makes for the perfect cliffhanger.

The Swamp Thing maintains a long tradition of thoughtful, empathetic comics that transcend the character's genre roots. Read Full Review
The Swamp Thing #12's script is a little crowded and heavy-handed. V doesn't leave much information for the reader to piece together in this chapter. But the ideas presented in this issue, and the accompanying visuals, are as stunning as ever. Perkins, Spicer, and Bidikar create a beautifully detailed world that it's hard not to get lost in.

Bits and Pieces: The Swamp Thing #12 takes the exciting developments and momentum from issue #11 and grinds almost to a dead stop. Ram V seems intent on turning everything that has impacted life and society into a force with its own avatar, and it's presented here with all the energy and drama of a sleeping kitten. Unfortunately, while those developments might lead to a new rogue's gallery for Swamp Thing in the future, it's difficult to care when the story is too dull to keep you interested. Read Full Review
Stellar all around.
Another superb chapter by Ram V. Loved some of the concepts that were introduced here
Levi has become a compelling avatar over the course of this series, and I really enjoyed Jennifer and Tefé try to rescue him from the Green. Pilgrim's transformation generates some interest in me, but I'm gonna need to see more before I'm completely sold on this. Nonetheless, another good read from the great duo of V. and Perkins.
