Swamp Thing copying Immortal Hulk. That's rich. Read Alan Moore's Swamp Thing.
Reeling from his battle with the Pale Wanderer, Levi Kamei seeks the true nature of his transformations. And what better place to find his roots than the heart of the Green itself? There, he and Jennifer will encounter the realm’s many denizens, including one known as Holland and...Poison Ivy? Who will aid Levi and who will harm him? If he is to pull Jennifer and himself back to the real world, Levi will need all the help he can get to tame the Swamp Thing running wild within.
There are some comic book runs that are nearly perfect. It may seem premature to say that this one of them, but The Swamp Thing #3 indicates the opposite. V, Perkins, Spicer and Aditya seem intent on giving it their best effort to make it one of those all-time "perfect" runs. At the very least, it's one of the best comics being published. It's time to get on board at the beginning if you haven't already. Read Full Review

This series is redefining Swamp Thing for a new generation. It's big, bold, and exciting, with the undercurrent of horror running throughout every page. It shows how you can have beauty and terror all in one frightening package. Read Full Review
I cannot recommend Swamp Thing enough. Ram V is getting to play with the Swamp Thing mythos and is doing a fantastic job with it. The art is just stunning from both Perkins and Spicer. I could continue on and on but I want to go read this story again! Read Full Review
These stunning individual issues are masterpieces on their own, but the flowing storyline of a reluctant Levi dealing with what happened in India coupled with his relationship with his family and Jennifer slowly draws us forward to a new era in Swamp Thing. With only 7 issues to go how can these two keep up the momentum? This is another 100% flawless read! Read Full Review
The cliffhanger at the end of this issue sets the stage for some potential major questions being resolved. This creative team is doing some compelling work here and Swamp Thing is emerging as a real contender. Read Full Review
This isn't a Swamp Thing like any I've read before, and after several iconic runs for the character by elite creators like Snyder and Lemire, that's what the concept needs. Read Full Review
Mike Perkins does a brilliant job of matching the tone of the story with the art. Everything is atmospheric and serious in its details and I love the visual bounty of the green and the look of the characters. Read Full Review
Overall, I really enjoyed this issue. Although I had many reservations about this new series, my concerns have diminished, and I feel confident that Ram V. & Mike Perkins will continue to give us a quality Swamp Thing story over the remainder of the series. If you have never read Swamp Thing in the past, but have an interest in the character, I would recommend trying this series and coming along for the ride with Swamp Thing " Levi Kamei.

The Swamp Thing #3 is another fantastic edition of the series. There are still horror elements inside the comic but it has changed from that primal fear that the monster in the previous issues instilled. Now the eldritch influences on the characters within this issue create a feeling that things arent right. The art team constantly makes the reader uncomfortable, but each piece of imagery is gorgeous to look at. Whilst the plot may confuse some during the first reading, it doesnt take away from this comics intoxicating nature that stops you from putting it down. Read Full Review
The Swamp Thing #3 is a fount of potential and with the stage fully prepared, the thought of what comes next is simply thrilling. Read Full Review
Swamp Thing #3 gives you more information about The Green and how the DC plant characters interact with it, but sadly, you get almost no information about Levi or why you should care about him. The art is excellent and there are some interesting moments in this book, but I wish some of those moments had something to do with the main character. Read Full Review
Holy crap man...Mike Perkins KILLED it with the art in this issue. The story was captivating and engrossing, and Ram V's script was great. Loved seeing Ivy, Woodrue, and Holland. More of this please!
Levi journeys through The Green in this beautifully written and drawn installment of a fantastic Swamp Thing series worthy of it's name.
Holy Mike Perkins!
Ram V's writing is absorbing to say the least, sucking you into the green of the book itself as he takes you alongside Levi's journey. Great callbacks and cameo appearances; but the panel layouts and pencils are nothing short of immaculate.
This and GLY Batman/Superman are prime examples of what monthly comics should be.
Amazing art style and character interactions between Poison Ivy and swamp thing
Book continues to look gorgeous and to intrigue. One of the best comics around right now.
This was probably the fastest read so far for me, but it was still really good. I enjoyed seeing Ivy in this issue and I liked her interactions with Levi throughout. While I do rate this the same as Issue 2, this just might be my favorite issue yet. It's awesome when a series continues to get better and better, and that's what I hope to see from this run.
Very good issue that went by too fast.
Comic book brain science is my absolute favourite kind of brain science.
This is the type of book that I can see going to the Einsner Awards. The first pages already set the tone. And man, the art and the colours are a perfect match. I loved how this issue gives you a totally different perspective of the Green. The take on Ivy is different.
I really don't want to rain on anyone's parade but this isn't a book that really deserves an average 10. I get what Ram V is doing here, he's trying to copy Ewing's Immortal Hulk with the Green being the Below-Place. And while it is an interesting idea, the execution is pretty different and not in a good way, the dialogue especially is pretty bad. It has potential but I don't think it will evolve beyond Ram V's usual platitudes.
Maybe it's this number, or maybe it's that I've never really been interested in the swamp thing but I didn't like it at all.
