Wow, was the artwork fantastic in this issue, Yanick Paquette is really finding a whole new level of skill here. His layouts in this issue were incredible, almost JH Williams-esque. Just beautiful stuff. The story here was good too of course, but really, it was all about the art, I think we all knew that Alec was going to become Swamp Thing again eventually, but I don’t think we expected it to be done in such style. I’m very interested in how this new Swamp Thing is different from the old one, he has wings, I don’t think he could do that before could he? It was clever of Snyder to hold off on showing us the new Swampy and whatever it is that Abby is now, it heightens the suspense for next month, whatever horrifying thing we have in our minds for Rot-Abby will surely be worse than what they come up with. But then again, with the way Paquette is rocking these days, I wouldn’t be surprised if he draws something better than anything limitless imagination could think of.
