And Then I Read: SWAMP THING 37

When we first met Lady Weeds in The Green, she was a retired avatar who tested and eventually helped Alec Holland. Alec repaid her by bringing her back with him to our world, and he’s been regretting it ever since. Here she becomes the avatar of machines, happy to gain power in any way possible. Soon she’s recruiting allies to take down Swamp Thing. Meanwhile, Alec is having an interesting chat with John Constantine, who’s as cheeky as ever. The many avatars are making this book reminiscent of the Green Lantern books’ many colors of rings, but so far it’s well written by Charles Soule, and well drawn by Jesus Saiz, and holding my interest. Adding colorist Matt Hollingsworth to the mix makes things all the better.
