"The Council Part 2," an 8-page story written by Marv Wolfman and Marc Guggenheim with art by Tom Grummett and Danny Miki

Lex Luthor has been captured by a council of Luthors from across the Multiverse, and to stop them from destroying everything, he'll need to team up with people he hates: the council of Supermen!

Gods of the Abyss, a 16-page story written by Mark Russell with art by Marco Santucci

Word has gotten out about the existence of Swamp Thing — and now tourists are swamping the swamp looking for a glimpse of the bigfoot of the bayou. The sudden popularity only accelerates Sunderland Corporation's plans to destroy him, but Swamp Thing finds help from an unexpected quarter…whether he wants it or not.

"The Courser," an 8-page story written by Phil Hester with art by Tom Mandrake

As a hurricane threatens the Louisiana coast, Swamp Thing is led to an archaeological dig where a young professor studies the wreck of a sunken slave ship. But her mysterious benefactor has his own reasons for funding the endeavor, and they may be far more dangerous than the oncoming storm.

"Fateful Reunion," from Swamp Thing #3 (2016)
"The Poison Truth Part 3," from John Constantine: The Hellblazer #3 (2016)
