Content warning: references to sexual assault
On this episode, Etrigan the Demon makes a return appearance as he horns his way into one of the best horror comic runs ever in Saga of the Swamp Thing #25-27!
Jason Blood (dialing the creepiness up to 11) shows up in Baton Rouge just as Abby Arcane starts a new job at a home for autistic children. But he’s not the only one who’s new in town: The Monkey King (aka the cuddly yet deadly Kamara from The Demon #4) is newly arrived as well, barreling headlong toward a confrontation with Blood’s devilish alter ego – and Abby’s pal, the Swamp Thing!
Can everyone’s favorite vegetable man and one very loquacious demon stop the Monkey King from feeding on the fears of Abby’s charges? What is Sting doing here, anyway? And can our monstrous heroes gain entrance into that home for wayward youth known as … The Comics Canon?
