To defeat The Rot, the unstoppable force of decay terrorizing Earth, Animal Man joined forces with the Swamp Thing, avatar of all plant life. With the combined strength of The Red and The Green, the two ventured deep into The Rot to attack their enemy in its seat of power. But they were deceived. As as a result, The Rot was free to spread unrestrained across the Earth. Buddy Baker returns to a world where this withering force of death has won, and nearly all of Earth's heroes are its agents. With the help of John Constantine, Steel and the last few living heroes, Buddy must risk everything to ensure that Rotworld never takes root. But when you risk everything... you must be prepared to lose everything.
