With no way to possess Swamp Thing directly, Deadman instead takes control of Ace, using him as a conduit to reach the swamp-born hero in Philadelphia, where he’s being manipulated by the fractured mind of Duncan Pramble. As Deadman’s consciousness rips between two bodies, the resulting psychic storm shatters Pramble’s control and frees Swamp Thing, who is then welcomed into the Challs’ sanctuary at the mountain.

With no time to spare, they leap into the sphere and hurtle through time to 12,000,000 AD, landing in a world of shattered ruins where they’re soon surrounded by enigmatic future-men and a tattered, crowned Rip Hunter.

In a future ruled by the tyrannical Sunset Lords, Jo and her allies—Ace, June, Swamp Thing, and Deadman—track down Rip Hunter, only to find him and his crew enslaved by the regime’s mind-control.
