During the Dark Crisis panel at San Diego Comic-Con, new details emerged surrounding the main event, as well as new tie-ins. One of which is a Swamp Thing centric tie-in called Dark Crisis: The Deadly Green #1. Written by Joshua Williamson, Dan Waters, Ram V, and Alex Paknadel with art by Daniel Bayliss, the 48-page one-shot will arrive in comic shops on October 4.
“I’ve had a lot of fun playing with the magical side of DC’s incredible cast of characters from Arion to Zatanna,” said writer Ram V. “I’m thrilled to be working with Joshua, Dan Watters, and Alex Paknadel as co-writers to bring a little bit of ‘magic’ to Dark Crisis with characters like Alan Scott, the Swamp Thing, Jon Kent, and John Constantine delving into the Deadly Green.”
So what’s Dark Crisis: The Deadly Green #1 about?
Superman and Swamp Thing uncover the secrets of the Great Darkness! During the original Crisis on Infinite Earths, Swamp Thing encountered and formed a truce with the Great Darkness, but this ancient force has been awakened by Pariah and now its influence is felt across the Multiverse. Now the Avatar of the Green must work together with new allies to investigate how far the Great Darkness has spread and why it would work with Pariah. If they want to stop the Great Darkness from swallowing the Green, they need some extra help…ENTER: SUPER SWAMP THING.
