Swamp Thing #3
This volume collects the conclusion of the 'Rotworld' crossover event from the New 52 era, as Swamp Thing and his allies fight to reclaim the Green from the forces of decay. Written by Charles Soule, it includes issues #0 and #13–18 of the 2011 Swamp Thing series, wrapping up the storyline that pitted the elemental realms against the Rot.
In "Rotworld: Prologue, Part One," writer Jeff Lemire and Scott Snyder kick off a chilling new chapter as Ellen and Maxine join Buddy on a desperate journey to find Swamp Thing. With the ancient force known as The Rot threatening both The Green and the people they love, the line between nature and nightmare begins to blur—especially as Alec and Buddy set out to confront the darkness, leaving those they care about vulnerable. Steve Pugh’s haunting artwork, colored by Lovern Kindzierski and lettered by Jared K. Fletcher, brings a visceral, grounded dread to the story, while Yanick Paquette and Steve Pugh’s cover captures the eerie tension of a world unraveling.
In "Rotworld: Prologue, Part One," Ellen and Maxine Baker join their father, Animal Man, on a desperate journey to find Swamp Thing, who warns that The Rot is threatening The Green as fiercely as The Red. As Alec Holland and Buddy Baker set out to confront the spreading corruption, the women and children left behind are suddenly caught in a storm of unseen peril.
In "Rotworld: War of the Rot, Part One," Buddy Baker and his allies unite with Swamp Thing and his forces for a desperate stand against Anton Arcane and the spreading Rot. As the line between man and monster blurs, the battle tests every hero’s resolve—especially when Frankenstein steps into a new role, becoming a Green Lantern in the wake of Medphyll’s sacrifice.
