And Then I Read: SWAMP THING 26

So much of comics is about power: craving it, seeking it, achieving it, using it, and eventually losing it. Jason Woodrue, now known as Seeder, has become the new avatar of The Green, usurping Alec Holland and now granted the massive power of all the world’s plants. What does he do with it? That’s what this issue is all about. It’s surprising in some ways, predictable in others, and in general Woodrue seems a bit lost. Perhaps all those years of seeking and achieving left him no time to consider the using part. The writing by Charles Soule and the art by Jesus Saiz continues to be excellent on this book.
