This is a significant improvement over the first volume in the series, with things cohering much better. The first story is a good piece of horror, featuring John Constantine, after which we are into a story about the Suicide Squad, before we take on one of the evil agricultural corporations that various incarnations of Swamp Thing tend to end up facing. There's a lot of good stuff here about family, with Levi's connection to the Green providing an opportunity for plenty of flashbacks that fill in the backstory. The Suicide Squad parts are effective, too, although this is closer to straight-up superhero action than the horror elements of the first story in the collection. On the whole, things are looking up for the series, and after a somewhat lacklustre start, this shows that it deserves the extension that it got to 16 issues.
