She runs... and the night is too small for her wrath.
(Quote re-translated from my German copy.)
The second volume in this collection of Alan Moore's praised run of Swamp Thing still has some very bright highlights and lots of fun characters, but overall doesn't quite reach the heights of the previous issues. The character develops further in an interesting way, though nothing here quite hits as strongly as the bigger moments of growth in the past.
The art is still amazing and we get a couple more creative alternative looks for Swamp Thing as he learns to fast-travel from location to location through the green, re-growing from scratch at his destination. With that, there also comes more of the psychedelic, slightly abstract art that blew me away near the end of volume 1.
Still a fantastic comic series and I'm excited to read the final third volume as well.
