Plot
Spinning out of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's Dark Night: Metal epic comes Damage, the tale of a young boy trapped in the body of a monster!
Ethan “Elvis” Avery just wanted to serve his country when he volunteered for the Damage Project. What no one told him was that he would be turned into a living, breathing, ticking time bomb of a monster that no one can stop. For one hour, Avery becomes the brute known as Damage, with zero control over his actions.
After nearly destroying Atlanta, Damage proves unstoppable as he quickly takes down Amanda Waller’s Task Force XL and then goes toe-to-toe with Wonder Woman. Colonel Marie Jonas created him to be a living weapon of mass destruction to save countless soldiers from risking their lives in combat, but when she loses control of Damage and can’t find him, he becomes a target.
Alone and on the run, Ethan just wants to be left alone, but he crosses paths with Poison Ivy, who wants to use Damage as her own weapon against humanity. She’ll stop at nothing to transform the area into a refuge for Gorilla Grodd and his followers, and if Damage is in Louisiana, there’s little doubt his presence will come to the Swamp Thing’s attention!
