Synopsis for "The Talk of the Saints"
The bayou becomes covered in snow. Swamp Thing is out of his element as he shepherds a lost boy through a blizzard. The pair is continually being chased by an unseen snow monster. Separated from the Green and stripped of his powers in this dead world, Swamp Thing struggles to fight for their lives and deliver the boy to safety. Disoriented and decaying, Swamp Thing's fading understanding of his surroundings forces the duo to confront their desperation and uncover the true identity of the snow monster. Eventually, Swamp Thing realizes the boy is the monster. By this point, Swamp Thing has withered away to almost nothing. Swamp Thing kills the boy, and the bayou returns to its lush natural state.
