S308 "Fear of Flying"
About this episode
The episode explores the themes of synchronicity and coincidences in the context of Swamp Thing and Constantine's quest to create the next earth elemental.
"I remember learning in college how meaningful events might be linked in some mysterious way. They called the phenomenon synchronicity." Swamp Thing and Constantine are still trying to create the next earth elemental, but find themselves in a minefield of coincidences. Rob Veatch joins Robert Reineke in getting to the bottom of issue #71 of Swamp Thing, written and drawn by Rick Veitch and entitled "Fear of Flying." You might think twice about getting on that next plane.
