New 52

With the beginning of the New 52, the DC Universe’s continuity was reset. However, some of Anton’s history was preserved in this transition. Though it is unclear to what extent his history was preserved, it is clear that his antagonism toward Swamp Thing and his family ties to Abigail (Reading Order) are still in continuity. Besides this, not much else is known.

Anton Arcane was then reintroduced through the Swamp Thing series. He has a rather large role in the first half of that series and then has a moderate role toward the comic’s end.
