Swamp Thing does not appear in this story.

The story of Widowsweed's mate was told in Swamp Thing #9. Although that story took place on Earth-1, this story establishes that similar events must have taken place in post-Crisis continuity.

Synopsis:
Having returned to her home in the swamp, Abby finds that it has wilted. She and Chester explore the house looking for signs of the Swamp Thing. Instead they encounter an alien bounty hunter employed by the Dominators to capture Abby. However, when the female hunter learns that Abby is pregnant, she decides not to kill her. Instead, the alien locates the remains of another alien ship buried in the swamp. Inside are the remains of her former mate. The alien lets Abby go, explaining that they are both widows.

Abby and Chester then return to her swamp house. On the way, they encounter Guy Gardner who was been dispatched by Batman to find Swamp Thing. When he sees the hunter leaving in her ship, he shoots her down. He then departs having learned of Swamp Thing's demise. Abby however holds out hope that Alec may still be alive.
