Nancy A Collins takes the character back to his roots (no pun intended), with some excellent domestic and body horror stories, while balancing the introspective soap opera that is expected of everyone’s favorite Swamp elemental. Introducing some new characters and updating some old ones, Collins centers the family drama of Swampy and infuses some comedic moments as well—Swamp thing for governor? A wordless rise of living flowers from prehistory to the space age (including their own Superman)? It’s got a little for everyone, and with consistently great artwork in a beautiful omnibus.
