Hell, Yeah. Animal Man and Swamp Thing continue to rip apart flesh, and limited plant matter, at every available opportunity They continue to hurtle towards each other at breakneck speed, without actually ever meeting up Both books have the protagonists now physically in combat with The Rot, both see physical transformations of major characters, and both[...]

Swamp Thing #21, the second issue written by Alan Moore and the first in which he started his long arc for the character Discovering that he wasn't as had been thought for a decade, Alec Holland transformed into a swamp monster, but a humanoid plant that thought it was Alec Holland Which meant he wasn't[...]

As a result, unfortunately I missed the first half of the Spotlight on Scott Snyder, which is presumably where he address his plans for Batman and American Vampire… Snyder got the job writing Swamp Thing after Geoff Johns called him at home one night and asked if he'd be interested Swamp Thing is Snyder's second favorite[...]

Whether it's the appearance of Turf and America's Got Powers writer Jonathan Ross (above)… or maybe just a plug for Mark Millar and publisher Titan's comics convention (below).   He really really wants to be in that magazine… In the competition for who can throw as much ink as possible on the page and smoosh it around to[...]

Scott Snyder writes both Batman and Swamp Thing for DC Comics, as part of the New 52 relaunch of the DC Universe. But in the past couple of weeks, it seems like he can only come up with one cliffhanger for the both of them. Okay, as the title and the visual says, there are spoilers ahead[...]

His Swamp Thing series for DC/Vertigo may have been slaughtered to make way for Brightest Day and then the DC New 52 relaunch "Swamp Thing with machine guns" is how one DC Comics executive described it to me. But now British fantasy horror writer and leftwing activist China Miéville is to write his first ongoing comic,[...]

When Titan Books published trade paperbacks of Swamp Thing in the UK, well ahead of the US, they used the black and white art of Steve Bissette, John Totleben, Rick Veitch and others And it really worked Colouring was still undeveloped in comics, and often would obscure the linework The Titan editions are still my[...]

Thanks to BuzzComics poster SJ for collecting these references to Swamp Thing's creative past in the new Swamp Thing series from DC. Currently spotting references to Len Wein, John Totleben, 1971 – the year the character was created, Bernie Wrightson, Steve Bissette, Alfredo Alcala, Tom Yeates, Shepherd Hendrix, Dick Durock (who played the chatacter in the[...]

We covered  Thursday's early Comic Connect auctions last night, but as bedtime rolled in on the East Coast, there was plenty of action still to come, highlighted by the first appearances of Wolverine, Swamp Thing, Luke Cage, and Batman. Starting with Wolverine, shortly before 10:00 Eastern, bidding closed on an Incredible Hulk #181 in CGC 9.4[...]

Although the move towards returning Vertigo characters once a part of the DC Universe back to the DCU proper began before the New 52, with the return of Animal Man beginning in 52, Swamp Thing during Brightest Day, and Death as part of the "The Black Ring" saga in Action Comics, the return kicked in with[...]

And hes, the people with improbably heads and head gear. Swamp Thing #3 Yeah, okay, this is fucked up right here A small boy in a bubble, William who finds that dead fish speak to him And one very specific comic book sequence that breaks a number of rules, switches art style and tone suddenly and[...]

Anna and Aaron from A Comic Shop in Florida flips through tomorrow's comics today and they both enjoy Action Comics #2, Swamp Thing #2 and Animal Man #2, and divide over Detective Comics #2 and Red Lanterns #2 Guess how. And Anna pushes Last Of The Greats from Image despite Aaron's protestations Less so over Axe[...]

According to DC Comics, Swamp Thing #1 and Detective Comics#1  join Batgirl #1, Action Comics #1 and Justice League #1 in and getting third prints (and Justice League is up to fourth now). No word on the common colour scheme (second prints go with red) but if I was a betting man, I'd go with blue. [...]

Today, Scott Snyder and Yanick Paquette's Swamp Thing #1 is in stores. It's not the only Swamp Thing relaunch out there. And I don't mean the China Mieville Swamp Thing relaunch for Vertigo which would, as I was told disdainfully by a DC person, have had a Swamp Thing combined with machine guns Which sounds awesome. No, I'm[...]

But it's worth the look. If you can find a copy, that is… another sellout/second printer. I know. Swamp Thing #1 by Scott Snyder and Yanick Paquette The most beautiful book of them all this week Oh my word. We start with Superman, Batman and Aquaman encountering a sudden death of animals around them[...]

Here's a screencap from the anime series Tsubasa, with one of Clow Reed's Magic Circles. You can see a clearer version here. Which was recreated by a deviantARTist, Just invert it and turn it anti-clockwise a little… Add a few DC characters… And bingo, you have a variant cover for Brightest Day Aftermath: The Search For Swamp Thing. In Swipe File[...]

Both from DC. First, Brightest Day Aftermath: Search For Swamp Thing #1 And something sticks out straight away The cover. This was the original artwork for the cover. This was the teaser. This was the reveal. But then this was the promotional advert. And this is the actual cover. What the hell happened, was Hawkman meant to be in at the beginning[...]

In the original promotion for The Brightest Day Aftermath: The Search For Swmp Thing, while Batman and Superman were present on the cover and we worked

That's tradition. So it would be a terrible thing for me to mention that yesterday I had an e-mail from a very excited West Coaster telling me that they'd just briefly glanced at the new Brightest Day, out tomorrow, and had discovered that (highlight the following space to spoil yourself) "The White Lantern is the Swamp[...]

Ever since China Mieville's Swamp Thing series was canned after five issues were dropped in the Vertigo bin, the expectation is that Swamp Thing would return to the DC Universe and that the series Brightest Day by Geoff Johns would be the means to do so And the whole forest in Star City, and the[...]
