Pure poetry and emotion

Pure poetry and emotion

Marked as a spoiler, just in case. I read this issue for the first time this week and, after the battle of Gotham, I was beyond moved. The whole arc is incredible but this issue is pure perfection. The layers of facing oneself, grasping reality, escapism….just incredible. I recognize The Anatomy Lesson was a major change and is celebrated appropriately. But I honestly can’t believe this issue isn’t talked about more often. My wife doesn’t really read comics because she still thinks they’re kids stories. She knows nothing about Swamp Thing. I gave her some context and read this issue to her. She was in tears almost the whole time and now wants to read the whole series.
