Swamp Thing Vs. U.S. Military In April
DC Comics has released details of Swamp Thing Giant #4, available April 22 2020. The issue, sporting a new cover by Marco Santucci, will include both new material and reprints.
The new stories are:
“Strategic Outcomes,” a 16-page story written by Mark Russell with art by Marco Santucci: At Sunderland's request, the U.S. military is testing ways to annihilate the monstrous threat known as the Swamp Thing. From swamp to city they'll hunt him, and while their target tries to keep the innocent from becoming collateral damage, the same can't be said of his pursuers.
“Toys on Parade,” an 8-page story story written by Phil Hester with art by Tom Mandrake: Deep in the bayou, Swamp Thing continues to follow the fifolet, despite not knowing the mysterious spirit's ultimate destination. On his way he encounters a strange and powerful girl locked away in the swamp, with magical friends and a monster at her door.
The reprints are:
“Be Careful What You Wish For,” from Swamp Thing #4 (2016): Alec Holland tries to help a friend learn the ways of the Green, but is he the same person Alec remembers? Could something far more sinister than dark magic be looming? By writer Len Wein and artist Kelley Jones.
“The Poison Truth (Part Four),” from The Hellblazer #4 (2017): It turns out that Chas’s gangster trouble may be John’s best opportunity to defeat the djinn. That is, they will be if they don’t catch on to the con he’s pulling. By writer Simon Oliver and artist Moritat.
“Playing with Fire,” from Zatanna #4 (2010): Zatanna loves Vegas, and Vegas loves her–but should Zee be wary of the attentions of a handsome, well-connected casino owner? She can hold her own against the most ridiculous Royal Flush Gang ever assembled, and she can just about cope with her cousin Zachary's immature antics, but she'd better watch out for the sultry fire demons that are hot on her heels! By writer Paul Dini and artist Chad Hardin.
