Book Reviews of Swamp Thing (Vol. 2): Love in Vain

Book Review: Gore, Gore and guess what - more Gore
Summary: 2 Stars

If you like gory comics, this is the one for you. As a fan of the early Swamp Thing books, I read this, expecting an updated version, where plot is mixed with a dab of horror and suspense. Instead I got a book about gore and sex. If you like that sort of thing, then you'll enjoy this, but fans of the old series maybe shouldn't. It contains two stories - the rise of Arcane, Swamp Thing's arch enemy, from hell, and the tale of an old man getting conned by a priest, who turns out to be an emissary from Hell. Worms popping out of bodies, a man walking around with a dangling head, killer dogs, rotting bodies in bed together and blood everywhere. Far too over the top. All this blood and gore is at the expense of plot.If you want to read a Swamp Thing, choose Dark Genesis, or an Alan Moore. Definately not for the kids!
