"Tell her I'm alive, and that one day I will come home. Please tell her. It would do so much to bridge the light-years between us."
After forcing the release of his wife Abby from Gotham City's police, Swamp Thing found himself torn from the Earth by an unexpected attack and his consciousness thrown across the galaxy. He awakened on a distant, blue planet full of life but devoid of any sentience. In perfect isolation, cut off from everything familiar, Swamp Thing nearly went insane - crafting simulacra of those he had left behind and talking in desperate criclues to himself. But he managed to step back from the abyss of madness, choosing instead to hurtle himself into the void of space once more, trusting in fate to bring him home. Now, as he makes his way in fits and starts across the vast emptiness - including the stopovers on Adam Strange's adopted homeworld Rann and at the final barrier of the Source - Swamp Thing is finding out that life can be stranger and more fantastic than he ever imagined. But as awesome as the universe reveals itself to be, nothing can be as wondrous as his final goal - homecoming, and reunion with his beloved.
Here, under the guidance of Alan Moore, Rick Veitch, Stephen Bissette, John Totleben, Alfredo Alcala, and Tom Yeates, the creature whose life rose from the death of Alec Holland comes full circle in his transformation from inhuman monster to one of the most powerful elemental forces ever known.
