Swamp Thing #29

Swamp Thing bursts through a glowing, rune-inscribed portal on Jesús Saiz's striking cover, his red eyes blazing as a sea of reaching hands surrounds him from every direction — an image that immediately raises intriguing questions about what the Sureen have in store for the Avatar of the Green. Charles Soule kicks off a three-part arc with this 2014 issue, and the cover's tension between Swamp Thing's raw power and those countless outstretched hands suggests something far more complex than a simple confrontation. A compelling entry point into one of DC's New 52 most atmospheric titles.
