I know I am little late to this one, I was just able to read it last night, and after I read it twice more. Its a quick read, but there’s a lot to take in.

This one is a doosie all in itself, spoilers ahead.

Well first off- Charles Soule kills Swamp Thing. I had to get that off my chest, and thats the big spoiler but it is not at all the best part.

Seeder turns out to be no other but Jason Woodrue, a throw back, an he has been given powers by the Parliament of Trees in exchange for saving Alec Hollands life. I want that so bad. So. freaking. Bad. But the Parliament of Trees are acting like a bunch of pricks and is having the two of them compete for being the Avatar of the green.

The Seeder and Swamp Thing face off in a beautiful arena in Brazil (drawn by Jesus Saiz) taking turns besting each others skills with the Green and right away Swamp Thing just starts beasting. The thing is, Seeder plays a little dirty and gains the upper hand. He actually does some thing that will make your jaw drop for sure, and that is too good to spoil so I wont even talk about it.

It’s twists last until the last few beats of the story, and by the end you just got your face punched by Charles Soule and Jesus Saiz. They make it seem as if they have always been writing Swamp Thing together and bring that wow back into it like Alan Moore had done.

5 out of 5. Buy it. Read it. You don’t need to know any back story to understand it and ultimately its just an awesome Swamp Thing fight, it gives you that feeling you had reading Bats and Supes duke it out in DKR.
