===Return to the DC Universe=== ====''Brightest Day''==== {{See also|Vertigo (DC Comics)#Relationship to DC Universe}} The conclusion of the crossover event ''[[Brightest Day]]'' revealed that the Swamp Thing had become corrupted by the personality of the villain [[Nekron]] in the wake of the ''[[Blackest Night]]'' crossover event.<ref>{{cite comic|writer= [[Geoff Johns|Johns, Geoff]]; [[Peter Tomasi|Tomasi, Peter]]|penciller= [[Ivan Reis|Reis, Ivan]]; Prado, Joe|inker= [[Norm Rapmund|Rapmund, Norm]]; Albert, Oclair|story= Rise and Fall|title= [[Brightest Day]]|issue= 23|date= Early June 2011}}</ref> The Swamp Thing now believed himself to be Nekron, similar to how he had once believed himself to be Alec Holland. The Swamp Thing went on a rampage in Star City, ultimately seeking to destroy all life on Earth. The Entity within the [[White Lantern Corps|White Lantern]] used several heroes, including [[Hawkman (Carter Hall)|Hawkman]], [[Hawkgirl]], [[Firestorm (comics)|Firestorm]], the [[Martian Manhunter]], [[Aquaman]] and [[Deadman (DC Comics)|Deadman]] to slow the rampage and to construct a new Swamp Thing based on the body of Alec Holland. Instead of merely ''thinking'' that it was Holland, this version of the Swamp Thing would actually ''be'' him. The new Swamp Thing defeated and killed the corrupted and original Swamp Thing. The Swamp Thing then restored life to natural areas around the world and declared that those who hurt the Green would face his wrath. He also restored Aquaman, Firestorm, Hawkman, and the Martian Manhunter to normal. The book ended with the Swamp Thing killing several businessmen who engaged in deliberate, illegal polluting activities.<ref>{{cite comic|writer= Johns, Geoff; Tomasi, Peter|penciller= Reis, Ivan; Prado, Joe; [[Patrick Gleason (artist)|Gleason, Patrick]]; [[Ardian Syaf|Syaf, Ardian]]; Clark, Scott|inker= Rapmund, Norm; Cifuentes, Vicente; Albert, Oclair; Nguyen, Tom; Gray, Mick; Irwin, Mark; Beaty, David|story= Brightest Day|title= Brightest Day|issue= 24|date= Late June 2011}}</ref> ====''Brightest Day Aftermath: The Search for the Swamp Thing''==== This three–issue miniseries follows immediately after the events of ''Brightest Day'', and follows the actions of [[John Constantine]] as he tries to work out what has changed with the Swamp Thing and track him down, with the assistance of [[Zatanna]], the [[Batman]], and [[Superman]].
