I'm enjoying this series more I get in to it (same with animal man). Alec is now the Swamp thing, and this mofo ain't fucking around! He became a huge ass green creature of love and he's ready to wreck shit. His fight with the Rot was entertaining (though still don't like the structure of the panels for most part).

I also thought the ending issues should have been integrated into flashbacks. Why were the background stories just stuck into this? It felt so oddly placed, even though they gave more weight to the Rot vs Green it felt so badly placed it took away for me. At first I was even confused at when they took place.

Now the good? The art is fresh still. The story is more focused on showing then exposition is always a plus. The ending got me hyped to read the next volume. I also love the relationship between Alec and Abby because it feels REAL which isn't always easy to translate into comic form.

While still not as great as I hoped it's beginning to pick up steam and get better!
