On Friday, Jeff Lemire lightly teased that he and Scott Snyder were on their way to the DC offices this week to pitch a year long arc crossing over between Swamp Thing and Animal Man called Deadworld. While we don’t know much about the arc, Lemire noted that it would feature Swamp Thing/Animal Man and Maxine/Abby fighting against a world that assumedly fears and hates them. This sounds like something that could also feature points in Lemire’s other DCnU title, Frankenstein (and I’m sure Batman could be worked into it, if Snyder really wanted to).
Lemire and Snyder have been teasing a “crossover” or team-up or whatever you’d like to call it between the two of them for some time now, with Lemire and Albuquerque (artist of American Vampire) even switching artistic duties for a crossover of sorts (as Lemire told us in an interview). Still, we can’t be entirely certain how serious Lemire is here (a year long crossover?), and the fate of most books are still up in the air at this point pending sales. That aside, it should certainly be interesting to see Lemire and Snyder team up to tell some good old fashioned horror.
