Swamp Thing #24

Charles Soule and Andrei Bressan's New 52 run on Swamp Thing builds to a gripping confrontation in this 2013 issue, with the cover by Travel Foreman showing a dark, hooded figure gripping a staff while Swamp Thing is stretched and ensnared in clinging green tendrils beneath them. The bold tagline — "The Face of Seeder Revealed!" — promises that the mysterious antagonist at the heart of this arc is finally unmasked. It's a striking image that captures both the physical struggle and the sense that a long-building mystery is about to crack wide open.
