Yesterday's Justice League Dark saw Ram V andAlvaro Martinez Bueno do their best Alan Moore, Rick Veitch, John Totleben and Steve Bissette-channelling moments, with Swamp Thing and Abigail Holland looking oh-so-very familiar (though he does seem to have lost his Alan Moore lookalike-beard) But it's not the only such familiar such faces with John Constantine and […]

Hitting stores in October, the ogn is aimed at teenage readers and turns the saga of Swamp Thing into "a poignant coming-of-age tale about […]

Swamp Thing is cancelled: dead but not gone. In this age of streaming, it's still up on DC Universe for all to see, but no more to come. It's a shame, but perhaps not a surprise. The show had a lot of potential, all unrealized, but perhaps too many flaws and problems that might have […]
Farewell, DC Universe's Swamp Thing we hardly knew ye. We hardly saw ye in your own show. Over your untimely death, some will mourn… but not that many, since not that many people subscribe to the streaming service. With this being the series finale and burdened with wrapping everything up in some kind of way, […]
If you watch Swamp Thing on DC Universe and read the original Alan Moore comics, you knew all along where all of this was heading. The show was heading towards an adaptation of Moore's original 1984 story "The Anatomy Lesson" in Saga of the Swamp Thing #21. "The Anatomy Lesson" is one of the most […]
Let's be honest. Every year, Comic-Con International: San Diego (SDCC) continues to grow – and what was once the pantheon for all things comics has become the place to be if you're a film or television series looking to make traction with an eager geek fanbase looking to rest their eyeballs on something worthy. Then […]

Barring living under a rock or having recently woken up from a two-year coma (no disrespect meant to under-rock-livers or recent-coma-returnees), you probably know by now that this week is the annual pop culture extravaganza known as Comic-Con International: San Diego (or SDCC, which is so much easier to write). No one has to remind […]
So let's talk about Ace (Sophie Aldred), the Seventh Doctor's companion (1987-1989) – because I really don't get all the complaints about the current series of BBC's Doctor Who having too much politics. The series always had politics embedded at its core: virtually every Science Fiction, spy or crime TV series created in the UK in […]
Swamp Thing is the best horror show you're not watching right now, probably because you have to subscribe to the DC Universe streaming service – and because you know it's "dead show walking" now that it's been cancelled after only one episode (and strong reviews). I don't blame you for not bothering to subscribe. There […]
Originally, Batman Damned #3 by Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo was intended to be published in January 2018, four months after Batman Damned #1 in September. Then the news cycle hit and an unforeseen full frontal Bruce Wayne changed DC Comics overnight, as a microscope fell on every panel of every comic. Announced comics such […]
As the summer calendar inches closer to The Fourth of July, visions of pop culture sugar plumbs are starting to pop & lock in the heads of geeks everywhere as we get close to San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) – and Warner Bros. TV knows this. This year, the west coast's "pop culture bacchanal" runs from […]
Like a dog calmly sipping coffee as the world burns around him, the DC Universe app has responded to worries following the abrupt cancellation of Swamp Thing and questions about the future of the app in the wake of WarnerMedia's plans to launch a new streaming service. Swamp Thing was canceled with no explanation last […]
It's understandable why viewers would still be scratching their heads over trying to figure out the decision-making process behind DC Universe cancelling Swamp Thing: the show received audience and critical praise (and a 92% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes) before its second episode even aired. Now, Business Insider spoke with seven individuals close to the production […]
It's understandable why viewers would still be scratching their heads over trying to figure out the decision-making process behind DC Universe cancelling Swamp Thing: the show received audience and critical praise (and a 92% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes) before its second episode even aired. One person we thought wouldn't be wondering why the show was […]
You know what? Let's take a break from all of the behind-the-scenes drama going on over the "how's" and "why's" behind cancelling Swamp Thing – a show that received audience and critical praise (and a 92% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes) before its second episode even aired – to appreciate what we still have (for […]
There's going to be a lot of finger-pointing going on over who's to blame for DC Universe cancelling Swamp Thing after airing only one episode even after having earned early audience and critical praise. It's pretty safe to say that there will be enough reasons for it to go around – twice. One person who […]
