Swamp Thing #32

Swamp Thing has taken the plunge — literally — and the cover by Jesús Saiz makes a striking statement: the muck-encrusted Avatar of the Green clutches a golden trident amid a sweeping underwater tableau of sharks, dolphins, sea turtles, and schools of fish, roaring with unmistakable authority. The tagline "The New King of the Seas" tells you everything about the bold direction Charles Soule is taking this New 52 series in 2014, pushing Swamp Thing's elemental dominion into wholly unexpected territory. If you've ever wondered what happens when the Green collides with the deep blue, "Blue/Green" looks like a genuinely compelling answer.
