THE SAGA OF THE SWAMP THING LIVES ON!
Dr. Alec Holland was a brilliant scientist who was developing a
bio-restorative formula that would rejuvenate plant life. When he died,
he was reborn as the Swamp Thing, the avatar of the Green.
As champion and protector of all plants on the planet, Swamp Thing has
access to untold power. But such power also attracts danger.
In this daring new reinterpretation, Swamp Thing is put to the ultimate
test when he faces several challenges that push the limits of his
abilities. There's the Rot, the kingdom of death and decay that is
hell-bent on destroying all life on Earth. Anton Arcane, his
archnemesis, has also returned from the grave yet again. When another
contender for the role of avatar of the Green steps forth, the creature
who was once Alec Holland is forced to defend the mantle that he has
grudgingly learned to accept. And just when you thought that the Green
had its hands full with the Red and the Rot, yet another kingdom, the
Machines, declares war.
