Swamp Thing: Twin Branches (Trade Paperback, 2020)

Written by bestselling novelist Maggie Stiefvater with art by Morgan Beem, this original graphic novel is a young adult reimagining of the Swamp Thing origin. It was published as part of DC's line of standalone graphic novels aimed at teen readers.

Twin brothers Alec and Walker Holland spend a last summer with rural cousins before college, staying near a dense and secretive swamp. Alec throws himself into a private experiment on plant consciousness he has carried from home, while Walker drifts toward the local social scene. Buried family truths begin to surface as the brothers grow apart.

Published by DC Comics in 2020, Twin Branches sits apart from mainline continuity as a self contained coming of age horror story.
