The Swamp Thing#4 is a glorious journey through the Green. The pacing is incredible as it allow Ram V to go wide and deep as Levi beings to learn what it means to be the Swamp Thing, but also what it means to be human. The art by Mike Perkins and Mike Spicer is simply gorgeous and evocative of many emotions. As times the colors seem to weave their own magical message as they are there for a purpose other than keeping this form being a black and white comic. Don't make a mistake and pass up this series. The character has a legendary pedigree of creators-Wein, Wrightson, Moore et al..- and the current team is producing work at that same level. Remaining character focused, The Swamp Thing is one of the best books out there, and probably DC's very best. Read Full Review

The last four issues in The Swamp Thing have been a masterclass in scripting, colouring and artwork. Narration is short allowing the images to weave the intricate story. By other writers, they would have tried to squeeze what Ram has done in four issues into one complex confusing story. The issue was going great up until the last panel with the wider introduction of DC's big movie this year, it doesn't feel on point for the current story but let's see what happens. Read Full Review

Swamp Thing #4 answers more questions than it asks, and it delivers an interesting explanation of the Green and the Contagion that infects it. The art is solid, and the overall writing (in isolation) is excellent, but it's hard to invest in a story when you don't know or care about the main character who's acting little more than a swap out for Alec Holland.

Between this and the recent Hellblazer Sandman Universe Entries, DC has found writers and artists that recapture lightning in the bottle. There are few comics that prove difficult for new writers simply for the sake of whats come before. Swamp Thing; once an obscure character from the fringes of DC's multiverse, was reborn in the 1980s into an iconic Monster in the catalogue of characters at DC. thirty years removed from the landmark run by Alan Moore, Stephen Bisette and John Totleben, Swamp Thing has again faced a redefining era.

As this run continues to blow my mind, it is laced with treats for long time swamp thing readers. Additionally, it serves up a fresh new origin and introduces the mythos of the Green in a streamlined fashion. The introduction of POISON IVY blew my mind, seems like something that would have happened in the Moore Run, alas this is amping up to become a fantastic limited series.

The Green is an aspect of the series that makes it stand out from others, akin to the dreaming of The Sandman, and the realm of lost souls that DEADMAN inhabits, The green is a realm unto it self. we are introduced to the green, the mythos behind it, as well as familiar enemies in the form of Woodrue.

I cant help but sense a foreshadowing of Black Orchid, and to be honest it would not surprise me if Jennifer may have a connection to that mantle. The Black Orchids color scheme is prominent in the third and fourth issue so far. we will see where this is going, but i will say that Ram V has written an engaging new take on the jack of the green. Mike Perkins is absolutely phenomenal with his art work in this series so far.

THIS IS A MUST BUY more

I continue to really enjoy this miniseries with the fourth installment. I liked the inclusion of Woodrue here, despite him not technically doing that much. Levi continues to be an enjoyable main character as well, but I really hope he gets some more development after his meeting with Alec in this issue. Aside from V's writing, I must mention the art from Perkins. I was really liking his art here, which is not a surprise after reading the previous three issues. I'm not sure how I feel about the Suicide Squad coming into the story after the final few pages of this, but I trust V. to make it enjoyable.

A little slow, but worth reading, the end leaves a bittersweet taste.

This is a good issue, or whatever.
