Very intriguing.

I missed the start of both Animal man and Swamp thing but I am tempted to pick up the trades.

It would be cool to have a third book chronicling the Avatar of the Rot after Rotworld wraps. I'd love a non traditional book that could have characters like Deadman, Ragman, Vandal Savage, The Spectre, and Death appear. Definitely something that skirts the edge of "indie" and capes and tights similar to what Swamp Thing and Animal Man have historically done.

I never knew how close these two were. I am happy to see that two of DC's best new talent get along so well.

I never expected a crossover.

The two of them were talking about the crossover from close to the first month, pretty much, back when it was titled "Deadworld". Originally Posted by DebkoX

Two of the most consistently good series of the New 52 crossing over can only be a good thing, I started reading Animal Man because of the hints that Lemire and Snyder dropped on Twitter about the connections at the time of the relaunch and I'm very glad I did.

Okay, I'm happy they clarified just what exactly Rotworld is.

Really glad to see Frank and Constantine, Ivy and Deadman in this. If there's one good thing the New 52 has been good at, it's subtle connections between the books that can be pulled in as needed.
What I am most interested in is the connection with I, Vampire: certainly Andrew must be a member of the Rot, right?
