Swamp Thing Vol. 3: The Curse Horror Book Review

This volume broke out of a set path and reminds me of X-Files season one. Nuke Face was a surprisingly likable character, but nuclear power was presented pretty harshly. John Constatine came off as a much better character in my opinion than once he got his own series. Swamp Thing’s new powers such as transportation via new body and seasonal changes were pretty neat.


The vampire substory was interesting, but the comparison of vampire communities and humans as a parasitic species seemed a little strong. However, the comparison’s purpose was to humanize the vampire condition and to set the philosophical stage for Swamp Thing’s later dilemma.


The werewolf story might have been my favorite. More seemed to over emphasize how terrible a woman’s life is, but it left me sympthizing for her. The Cain/Abel subplot didn’t feel important to me.
