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[...]

From the solicitations of Red Hood And The Outlaws #17, part of Death Of The Family • In the wake of "DEATH OF THE FAMILY," Bruce Wayne confronts Jason Todd! • You DO NOT want to miss this! 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[...]

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[...]
