As the corruptive force of industry eats away at the Earth, the Green has called upon a deadly form of alien flora in a desperate and misguided attempt to wipe the slate clean. Swamp Thing's attempts to save the planet from this alien plague quickly prove inadequate; it's time for someone more experienced with spacebound threats to enter the fray: the Green Lantern!
The Swamp Thing #14 demonstrates the deeper themes that Ram V brings to his comics. It's easy enough to be excited by a classic good vs evil story even if there are conflicted/ambiguous characters, but this comic takes it even further by getting to the core of the theme of man vs nature. It's both cerebral and emotional at the same time which is truly a magnificent feat. It will make you think and feel. Read Full Review

Swamp Thing #14 is a continuation of the book's second season, with a unique spin on the "Earth's in danger story, and it's a fun but chilling head trip that ends with a great cliffhanger. Read Full Review
The Swamp Thing #14 unveils a threat from space bent on wiping humanity from the Earth. The art is excellent, and the concepts/ideas underneath the story are cool, but there are contradictions aplenty masked by bloated, flowery language to weigh the whole issue down. Read Full Review
This entire run of swamp thing has been mind blowing! This is one of if not the best book on the shelves! DC please add more issues to this volume. The writing is amazing and the artwork is absolutely phenomenal! This whole volume has been masterpiece
Flawless.
THis is the DC comic you should be reading ASAP!
Holy goated.
Not a page is wasted in this issue, every word chosen by V becomes a piece of this great debate's foundation. Mike Perkins' pencils are only a glimpse into the true vision of Ram V's elemental epic, but even that is more than enough. The symbiosis between Perkins and Spicer is incredible, and their ability to adapt V's world of cosmic beauty and horror to the page is a godsend.
Everyone needs to be reading this right now.
This was another strong issue for V. & Perkins's Swamp Thing run as we approach the final two issues. I really enjoyed Levi and Endeavor's conversation with one another throughout this issue, as I thought it was just well-written. Everything else was nice as well, and I'm glad to see Trinity once again after how much I enjoyed her in the previous issue. I'm looking forward to seeing how V. and Perkins wrap this series up with the next two issues.
I'm a very, very big fan of Ram V right now and this book is a huge reason why. It captures so many elements of what made the Moore, Totleben, and Bissette run magic, without directly stealing anything from those great comics or requiring you to read them (which you should anyways). The debate between Swampy and the alien flora was near perfect and allowed Perkins to really stretch his legs in an interesting way, plus the use of Green Lantern felt extremely fitting for the story being told. This is one of DC's best books right now.
I am not entirely sure where this goes as part of the whole series. Especially the addition of Trinity. But Perkins's art has never been better, and the narrative here is really gripping. And that final page is just so cool. (Ram V handles old man Hal really well.)
