Totems

Plot

John Constantine, Animal Man, Swamp Thing, Black Orchid, and the Doom Patrol's Robotman team up in an offbeat one-shot. Attending a New Year's bash thrown by a drunken John Constantine in a burst of mid-life sentimentality, these classic VERTIGO characters are unwittingly drawn together by the arrival of a millennium-obsessed party-crasher. As the clock strikes twelve, every prediction of catastrophe starts coming true, with Manhattan becoming a savage forest, giant insects flying under a blood-red sky, and skyscrapers transforming themselves into huge, distorted stone formations. With the heroes' powers waning in the corrupted environment, they must find a way to change the world back before it's too late, in a strange, remarkable story by writer Tom Peyer (HOURMAN) with pencils and a stunning painted cover by Duncan Fegredo (ENIGMA, Jay & Silent Bob) and interior inks by Richard Case.
