☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis deluxe hardcover collects Scott Snyder's complete run on Swamp Thing from DC's New 52 era, spanning issues #0, #1–18, and the Swamp Thing Annual #1. The story follows Alec Holland as he fully embraces his role as the elemental protector of the Green, facing threats like the Rot and the rise of a new Avatar of Decay. Yanick Paquette, Marco Rudy, and Becky Cloonan provide the art across this oversized edition, which also includes a sketchbook section and behind-the-scenes material.
In "Raise Dem Bones," Scott Snyder and Yanick Paquette deliver a haunting, atmospheric chapter in the Swamp Thing saga, where Alec Holland stands at a breaking point—pleading with the ailing Parliament of Trees to restore him, even as Abby’s transformation into the Rot’s new avatar unfolds. With the forest’s magic faltering, Alec must sacrifice a piece of his own bio-restorative formula to reignite their power, setting a desperate, pivotal course. The lush, haunting art by Paquette and Nathan Fairbairn’s evocative colors deepen the story’s eerie, organic pulse, all framed by Paquette’s striking cover.
Alec and Abby follow William Arcane to a desolate diner, arriving too late to prevent a massacre—but the true horror begins after. In a dream, the Parliament of Trees confronts Alec with a dire warning, urging him to embrace his role as the Green’s protector as a new, unforeseen threat stirs beneath the surface.
In the heart of the swamp, when Abigail Arcane falls under the grip of the Rot and the Parliament of Trees faces a dire threat, Alec Holland must confront his fate and embrace the role of Swamp Thing—yet with enemies closing in, the question lingers: can he act in time to save what matters most?
In the heart of a decaying swamp, Alec Holland faces a desperate choice: surrender to the Rot’s embrace or risk everything to reclaim his humanity. As Abigail Arcane’s transformation into the Rot’s new avatar unfolds, Alec turns to the weakened Parliament of Trees, pleading for a way to restore himself—only to learn the price may be the very formula that could save him.
In "Rotworld: Prologue, Part One," Ellen and Maxine join Buddy Baker on a desperate journey to find Swamp Thing, only to learn that the creeping corruption known as The Rot threatens The Green as violently as The Red. With Alec Holland and Buddy now facing the darkness head-on, the ones they love are suddenly caught in a storm of unseen danger.
In "Rotworld: War of the Rot, Part One," Buddy Baker and his allies join forces with Swamp Thing and his team for a desperate stand against Anton Arcane and the spreading Rot. As the line between man and monster blurs, new alliances form and sacrifices are made in the fight for survival.
