In "The Tomorrow Children," Gerry Conway and Keith Giffen deliver a tense, atmospheric chapter as Clayborne and Holland track down Prof, who proposes a sonic countermeasure against the encroaching plant life. With Ernie Chan’s cover capturing the eerie urgency of the moment, the story unfolds across Pennsylvania and London, where Ace, Rocky, and the team race to close a rift tied to M'Nagala’s ancient lineage—just as Holland begins to slip back into the Swamp Thing’s form.

Clayborne and Holland find Prof, who suggests using sonics against the plant life. Outside London, while Ace fetches a pack of jet fuel, Rocky chants to allow one of M'Nagala's kin to enter this world. Back in Pennsylvania, Holland ducks away because he is reverting to Swamp Thing as his bio-restorative formula wears off, but Clayborne and Prof fight off the cultists and fire the emergency siren, transforming the cultists to slime. In London, Ace chucks the fuel pod into the monster, destroying it and shutting the portal. Soon after, all the Challengers are reunited in Perdition.
