An enjoyable, but fairly forgettable read. The basic plot of the ten issues in this collection were: Swamp Thing finds a small town somewhere in America where Weird Stuff Is Happening. After an exploration of the Weird Stuff (which could be anything from clockwork people, to autistic magicians, to alien hordes), there's a fight, some stuff gets destroyed, and Swamp Thing ends up on the road again. Later, rinse, repeat. I've been told that Alan Moore did some great stuff with Swamp Thing in the latter part of the 1980s, but Wein's material with the character is very stereotypically 1970s adventure/horror type stuff.
