Issue description
New regular writer Joshua Dysart (Violent Messiahs, THE DEMON: DRIVEN
OUT) debuts with “Love in Vain,” Part 1 of 4. Swamp Thing’s long-forgotten act of
kindness toward a young girl unleashes a hellish disaster. When the girl, now grown,
performs a clumsy juju ritual to summon her “swamp spirit,” she gives Hell’s most
dangerous soul the escape route to Earth he’s been waiting for.
