Catch up with Swamp Thing 1989 #1!
The Story
Swamp Thing is in the midst of the journey of a lifetime, or several lifetimes, going through space and time. Not knowing how or why, he tries to figure out which way is up and why this is happening. Being thrown backwards through time, as far back as you can imagine, Swamp Thing’s destination is finally revealed! Meanwhile, the love of his life, Abby, is hours away from giving birth to their child of three different worlds. Abby wants her birth to be as close to nature as possible, and for her child to come into the world as natural as possible. So, she’s opted for no medication, so to say she’s struggling would be an understatement.
So much happens in Swamp Thing 1989 #2! Different characters, new plans, new destinations, and even John Constantine, all of this factors into this issue being as fantastic as it is. Once you dive in, you’ll see the heightened emotions, the complex story, and the mystery of it all that adds to the overall story brought to you by Rick Veitch.
The Art
Tom Mandrake, Trish Mulvihill and Todd Klein bring so much depth to the pages of Swamp Thing 1989 #2. The artwork takes you back to the time of older comics, which is a vibe in of its own. Mandrake has wonderfully detailed panels and full page looks that are absolute works of art. Mulvihill brings a lot of vibrancy to the pages, even more so than the first issue. With the colors, Mulvihill made this comic absolutely stunning. Todd Klein handles the lettering, and brings so much depth to the story through the dialogue. Together, the artists made this second issue even better than the first, which I didn’t think was possible.

Swamp Thing 1989 #2 continues the exciting and impactful hidden story of Swamp Thing. If you haven’t check it out yet, there’s no time like the present.
