Summary: Flawed Collection of an Excellent Story
Comment: First, let me just say that, along with its companion piece (Saga of the Swamp Thing), this is one of the best horror stories ever written in any medium and it's also a definitive work in the history of comics. Saga is the setup, and Love and Death is the payoff, so be sure to read the ond before the other. That said, a few minor issues need to be addressed - first, this is part of the patented Irritating Collection Scheme that DC does so well. This book does not contain an entire story; it has the end of the Saga of the Swamp Thing story and the beginning of American Gothic (which is very long and comprises the next two trades). Another bizarre choice (or perhaps a mistake) on DC's part is the fact that there is a page missing. That's right, in the middle of the chapter called "The Brimstone Ballet," Moore segues into a scene with the Monitor with the words, "No celestial force that watches over us..." For those of us that read Moore, this is an obvious transition, but the entire scene is inexplicably cut, which feels more than a little jarring. All this aside, this is one of the most beautifully illustrated, tightly plotted, and simply elegant stories in the medium. Buy it, but if you want it complete, you'll have to have the originals.

Summary: FAR OUT!!!!
Comment: A great storyline, beautiful art, surprise cameos. The section where the girl trips on Swamp Thing's "fruit" is strange and delightful. BUY IT!!!!

Summary: The title says it all
Comment: This book is some of the best story telling I've ever read...even for Alan Moore. The drawing is top notch too, having a very grim and bleak feel to it, that fits the comic horror genre perfectly. I'd say more, but I don't wanna spoil anything. I will say however, that all the loose ends from the last volume are delt with. If you liked the last book, you'll worship this one. Thanks again, Alan.
