Swamp Thing and Adam Strange discuss Earth and how to return the creature to his lost love. But things get complicated when the Thanagarians show up--armed with extra-sharp weapons and looking to trim some metaphorical hedges.

    Big step up from the last issue, but still missing the feel of the rest of Moore's run so far. Swamp Thing belongs on earth doing Swampy things! I miss the horror vibe too, though as I understand it, Moore dialed back the horror-y stuff for the last arc to respect artist Rick Veitch who didn't want to draw anything too grotesque. Kinda disappointing for us readers, but good of Moore I guess.

    Similar feelings here to the last issue, although I do prefer this one overall. I was so ready for another few pages only in Thanagarian, but thank the heavens that the English came back within the same page. I think books should definitely include other languages like this...but, it should be translated into English with the note that it's being translated from another language. Especially considering that Thanagarian, as far as I know, isn't a real language that can be easily translated with a relatively simple internet search.
