Dave Schaafsma's Reviews > Swamp Thing: Green Hell

The world has gone to hell. What cartoon character can save the day, someone who really understand the environment? Dr. Alec Holland, who becomes Swamp Thing, has to face down John Constantine, who made a deal with the Legions of Hell to destroy the world. So this is dystopian horror, with lots of people dying in the epic battle to save the planet. Solid, ok story. Doug Mahnke's visuals give a nod to Stepheb Bissette's work on his and Alan Moore's run of Swamp Thing, rough, vibrant, sometimes pulpy, sometimes downright psychedelic.

Oh, we've got to get ourselves back to the garden? Joni Mitchell sang, but it appears possibly too late for that in this environment-turns-to-horror setting, but you know, in comics, anything can happen, so maybe Swampy will actually save the planet. Somebody has to.
