A review by akemi_666
Saga of the Swamp Thing by Alan Moore
3.0
the seething contempt of the middle-class
for themselves, for their children, for their neighbours
against the occult becoming of materialist science made self-conscious
at the margins of land, air and water
swamp thing rose out of
the wet dream of virulent masculinity
and reactionary horror
to align with the beings made monstrous by unfettered capitalism
over its protagonist-hunters, -scientists and -profiteers
a revisionist history of pulp
roots spreading far and deep
into the thingliness of everything
transfigured by love
it drags near the end. certain relationships become strained, one-dimensional. don't feel compelled to finish all 6 volumes. end where you need to, regenerated and or broken down into something other.
