Bleeding Cool Magazine article by Rich Handley DC Comics' decision, in 2011, to cancel all existing series and launch 52 new titles—among them a reboot of cult classic Swamp Thing, from writer Scott Snyder and illustrator Yanick Paquette—was met with great skepticism DC hoped to create a blank slate for writers, unfettered by decades of continuity,[...]

Ladies and gentlemen, let's talk a bit about Alan Moore's script for The Saga of the Swamp Thing #21, appropriately titled "The Anatomy Lesson." The Saga of the Swamp Thing #21 Okay, so there's this thing whenever a new creator comes onboard an established book or character, this important moment that pronounces to the audience that while[...]

Travis Ellisor writes; I first encountered Phil Hester's work when he teamed-up with Mark Millar (and a bit of Grant Morrison) on one of the best Swamp Thing runs ever My opinion of his art improved greatly once I started seeing his collaborations with inker Ande Parks, and then I found that Phil was a great[...]

Oh, and another dazzling cover by Francavilla. Swamp Thing #21 by Jock Wait, what's Man-Thing doing in this cover too? Oh wait, my bad I always get confused with who came first I do like Jock's stylized take on the jolly green giant, with the layered multicolored ivy being a nice touch Sharp contrast with the kneeling[...]

Nice to get more info on this project: During the Wondercon panel for Pacific Rim this afternoon, Guillermo Del Toro seized the inevitable question about

As well as snippets from Len Wein and Karen Berger. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJlZUpgXQJI#! "It's sadism and I'm getting paid for it" - Alan Moore.

The question is, will writer Jeff LeMire be able to step in and save them like Grant did before him? Come on Jeff, strap on that fiction suit. Meanwhile Swamp Thing is also reverting a decade of three after his return to the present There was much made previously of Swamp Thing no longer being the[...]

Maybe she's just read too much Preacher. As both Animal Man.. …and Swamp Thing come to the end of Rotworld (still not finished though, despite the "Finale" cover lines, Swamp Thing takes to the skies again I do hope he keeps the wings once the Big Red (or Green) Reset Button is pressed. We get a new member[...]

Creation Myths When reviewing Ingmar Bergman's final film "Saraband" for American television, film critic Richard Roeper remarked that the Swedish director's work existed on another plane, above and apart from anything Hollywood was doing. The same is true for the comic books penned by Alan Moore, a fact I was happy to rediscover late last year when[...]

On Friday, DC Comics let IO9 report that Charles Soule was taking over writing Swamp Thing, and then did the same for Newsarama letting people know that James Tynion IV was on Red Hood And The Outlaws. For both,  we informed you of these events at a previous juncture a few weeks ago. Well, no one else[...]

With news that Swamp Thing: American Gothic may be getting the screen treatment by Del Toro, artist for  that run, Steve Bissette tweeted; If this happens bleedingcool.com/2013/01/07/gui… you're REALLY going to wish you took me up on this #FREESwampThingSketch offer: srbissette.com/?p=16361 — Stephen R Bissette (@SRBissette) January 8, 2013 Which offer?

Dark Universe, Guillermo Del Toro's DC Comics movie, will feature Swamp Thing, John Constantine, Zatanna, Zatara, the Demon, and Deadman among others…? I can think of a storyline that fits that bill I'm sure we'll have much more on this a little later. Most-Read Comic Stories Today – Days Of Future Past, Brian Wood: Here's One Classic[...]

Marco Rudy is best known of late for his work on Swamp Thing. But, according to the vast number of emails in my inbox this evening, he is rather teasing people on Facebook about an upcoming Spider-Man mini-series he is working on. And that's might not be the Superior Spider-Man either. He writes; "Spider Bites"[...]

Well, there's a thing. Charles Soule, writer of 27, of of Bleeding Cool's more favoured Image comics, will write Swamp Thing after Scott Snyder leaves the title in April. This is another example of creators best known for their creator owned comics being snapped by the New 52 of late, following John Layman, Jim Zubkavich and Ray[...]

Earlier this week, as well as talking about Gail Simone leaving Batgirl, I also mentioned that Scott Snyder was leaving Swamp Thing It's possible this may have been overshadowed somewhat. In this case no one was fired by e-mail, there weren't excruciating issues with editorial, and no one poured a cup of hot soup over anyone[...]

Or at least point them in the right directiuon and then hang back, popping by later to pick up the pieces. While Swamp Thing's future trip to Gotham also finds a Batman… changed If you don't like Synder's Batman in the main book? I wonder if you will like this one any more… Action Comics gets its[...]

Arguably responsible for many of DC's biggest successes, working with Alan Moore on Swamp Thing, recruiting the likes of Grant Morrison, Neil Gaiman, Garth Ennis, Jamie Delano, Mark Buckingham, Peter Milligan, Mike Carey, China Mieville and so many more DC Comics, with successes such as Sandman, Preacher, Invisibles, Fables and Hellblazer on her watch, since[...]

With a brief flashback to Death In The Family… And in Batman #17… dannding with the devil in the pale moonlight. And…[...]

Only thing is, I can't really show it to you without spoiling the end of today's Swamp Thing So, if you haven't read the comic, look away If you have, maybe it's time to take a second look… Yes yes, William Arcane is the Rotworld Aquaman, but even better, he's riding on Starro, which is the[...]

In the Swamp Thing Annual we saw a very tall Swamp Thing Today, in the new Swamp Thing, we bring the two together And weirdly, with the foot of Swamp Thing, I'm reminded of the Hand Of Darkness from Moore's original run Just the scale of the whole thing… Marvel NOW! launches Iron Man today from[...]

Case closed?   Swamp Thing Annual manages to spoil Swamp Thing #14 a bit In that we know that Swamp Thing will put on a few extra stones And grassy lumps, And branches And basically grow a lot into something sloser to a Swamp King Kong Swamp King Thong Something like that Big fella. Talking of big fella's[...]

Because, of course, Superman has appeared in certain issues of his comics. Specifically we're talking Swamp Thing Issue one. Could this, already a $7 book, be heading for speculator glory in the near future? UPDATE: It's true, I'd forgotten about Flashpoint: Project Superman mini series by Snyder in the months that preceded the New 52 (along with everyone[...]

A nice note there, as to how Animal Man and Swamp Thing are interlinked And yes, the Rot does more than kill, it takes over what once was from Kid Flash… To Red Robin…   To the Flash and Supergirl… To Hawkman… To Superboy… you know I really hope they do a toy line of this[...]

I am so ready for Remender! Next week is Uncanny Avengers #1! DC has the horrifying ROTWORLD featuring both the Red and Green Kingdoms! You can still read Animal Man without Swamp Thing, but why deny yourself? The Third Army officially starts here with GL #13 Baz still doesn't have his handgun, maybe Johns was just[...]

No one redefined the comic book landscape quite like Alan Moore in the 1980s, and the year 1985 was one of the most creative of his career.  He'd taken Saga of the Swamp Thing to new levels of horror and brilliance.  He'd introduced the world to John Constantine, a magic con man and later, Hellblazer. [...]

He'd just begun his work on Saga of the Swamp Thing and V for Vendetta, introduced the character of John Constantine to the world, and was plotting such classic tales as Watchmen and Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? It's a historically relevant piece from a master in the genre. The initial concept of Fashion[...]

Exiles is off to a cracking start with this one. Remember the days when a character could talk at length while an action taking a split-second was occurring? Tom DeFalco in Hulk Smash does!   Swamp Thing, like Animal Man, dazzles with visuals There's not a lot going on, but one hell of a cliffhanger for Swamp Thing[...]
