And Then I Read: SWAMP THING 25

If you’ve read T.H. White’s “The Sword in the Stone,” or seen the Disney version, you probably remember the wizard’s duel, it’s one of the high points of both versions. This comic is something like that, a duel between Alec Holland and a rival, Seeder, to see who will continue as avatar of the green. It’s well done, as they use the power of the green against each other, as well as any trick that comes to mind, all in an arena that has a familiar shape, and with the Parliament of Trees as judges. The writing and art on this title continue to be excellent.
