DC Comics has revealed the cover art and some unlettered interior pages from Maggie Stiefvater and Morgan Beem's original graphic novel Swamp Thing: Twin Branches, which reimagines the iconic DC character for teen audiences (see "DC Reveals Covers, Dates, and Deets for Spring 2020 Middle-Grade Graphic Novels"). The book is slated to be released on October 13, 2020, and will have a suggested age rating of 13+ and an MSRP of $16.99.
Stiefvater and Beem reimagine Alec Holland as a teenager and follow him through the summer between his senior year of high school and his first year of college. He's crazy about plants and kind of nerdy, and he is looking for acceptance from his friends and his more socially adept twin brother Walker. When they travel from their home in the city to stay with family in the country, Walker hits the parties while Alec spends his time in the lab, and they both get to see the dark side of the swamp.
Stiefvater is the author of a number of best-selling young adult fantasy novels, including the Raven Cycle, the Printz Honor book The Scorpio Races, and most recently, Call Down the Hawk, the first book in a planned trilogy. Beem's comics work includes the Image Comics series The Family Trade, written by Justin Jordan and Nikki Ryan.
