Book Review: Swamp Thing: Twin Branches by Maggie Steifvater and Morgan Beem
Hey friends!
I just finished a great graphic novel and figured I'd review it on here. It's called Swamp Thing: Twin Branches by Maggie Steifvater and Morgan Beem. While I did receive a free copy from DC for review, I ended up reading a final copy that I purchased for myself. If you're interested, you can buy yourself a copy now.
Summary
This is a new retelling of the Swamp Thing story from DC Comic for the Young Adult audience. It's about twin brothers, one of whom is a party animal and the other whom is a researcher, looking at plants. It follows their adventures and relationship in the summer before they go to college.
Review

I'm intrigued by the way the character kind of brings the vibe of old movie monsters into the superhero space. I was not disappointed by this tale. First of all, the art is gorgeous:
