This is a fantastic comic, one of Black Label's bestand hopefully we'll get the next issue less than fourteen months from now. Read Full Review

Mahnke deliver some powerful art on every page of the issue. Not only did I love the peaceful environment Alec lived in, but the contrast to the real world and other locations was visually stunning. Read Full Review

For Swamp Thing fans, this is a no-brainer. Swamp Thing: Green Hell #2 should be on your pull list especially considering its basically the only Swamp Thing comic out now and its written by Lemire. The bigger question is whether or not the in-between fan/ indifferent Swamp Thing fan should check it out. And I would say ABSOLUTELY! There is a ton in this issue for almost everyone. The symbolic tragic hero figure. The Horror Comic aficionado. The post-apocalyptic society. And of course the fan interested in taking that first dive into a Swamp Thing Comic. Sure, its a bit heavy for a first Swamp Thing Comic. However, its a spectacular issue for anyone interested in dipping their toe into exactly how the character should be written with outstanding art to justify the purchase. Read Full Review

Tapping into the weird mythology of its source material and injecting beautiful extremes and cutting-edge eco-anxiety, Green Hell doesn't skip a beat from that long-ago first issue. Read Full Review

Swamp Thing: Green Hell #2 morphs from a "last Swamp Thing story to a continuation of The New 52 era of the character. Along with the concepts developed in The New 52 Animal Man, there's some real meat in this issue. Lemire is sure to include classic Swamp Thing themes, but it's just as exciting to see what happens with the Green, the Red and the Rot. With the fate of humanity, Abby and Tefe hanging in the balance, this series is already one of the great Swamp Thing stories. Read Full Review

Swamp Thing: Green Hell #2 brings the next chapter in this Black Label story. We finally get to see Swamp Thing and he takes center stage as the main character in this book as he grapples with the new avatar of the Green and the Parliaments themselves. The writing, dialogue, and pacing are good while the art by Doug Mahnke with David Baron's colors are excellent. Going by the ending, Swamp Thing isn't out of the woods yet and we can look forward to even more surprises in the next chapter. Read Full Review

Lemire, brilliant as ever.

This book is great! I really wish it was a longer run as both issues have been fantastic and I have really grown to like and care about the supporting characters

A year since issue #1? I had to double check it. I've heard issue #3 will be coming out in March this year. I hope so, because this is a gorgeous piece of storytelling by all involved. I'm really enjoying old-man Constantine in this series. Alec is written so well. And that surprising ending. Really excited to see how this concludes!

This was still good, buuuuut...for some reason Doug Mahnke's art got noticeably worse compared to the first issue. Everything seemed far less detailed, far more rushed, which is odd considering the significant time gap between the release of issues 1 and 2. So that was actually really disappointing, cause I thought the art in book 1 was terrific. Here, it was just okay.

My other small gripe is with Ronnie stealing the boat to go back to her Dad. She's like, what? 6? 7 years old? I get that her Dad could've taught her from a young age, she just seems a little TOO young to pull a fast one on George and commandeer a boat like that is all.

All that said, the story was still really good. Jeff Lemire has a great voice for Constantine. more

I honestly don't remember much of anything about issue one, and I don't really want to go re-read it. But I liked this second issue supposedly a bit more than issue one, given my review of that. I'm very picking about portrayals of Constantine. He's been abused so much. I think Lemire does okay. He's not quite peak Constantine but at least the spirit of the character is maintained, and he's not like... in a femdom relationship with Huntress or shooting magic bullshit out of his hands.
