And Then I Read: SWAMP THING 30

So, Alec Holland, Swamp Thing, was offered the chance to inhabit a human body for a while, the body of an acolyte of The Sureen, a centuries old group dedicated to worshipping and helping the avatar of The Green. Only it turns out they weren’t really The Sureen, but some other group intent on stealing Swamp Thing’s body to use for their own evil purposes, as above. Meanwhile, the other ex-avatars now in human bodies as well as Capucine, Alec’s self-appointed body-guard have been equally duped and return to the swamp only just in time to revive Alec Holland in his temporary body. Who might they turn to for help finding the real Swamp Thing body? How about a long-time DC Universe villain? What could go wrong there? Great story and character writing by Charles Soule, fine art by Jesus Saiz and Javi Pina. This remains one of my favorite comics to read at present.
