Swamp Thing Annual #2

Swamp Thing looms front and center on Travel Foreman's cover, his glowing orange eyes and moss-draped face radiating raw, unsettling power, while two grey, similarly red-eyed figures flank him from the shadows. The cover's pointed questions — "Strange New Allies? Or Unstoppable Enemies?" — set up a genuinely intriguing tension around this oversized 2013 annual. Charles Soule, Javier Pina, and Kano deliver "Lessons Learned," promising an extra-length story worthy of the Annual format's tradition of going bigger and deeper.
