And below the cover to Swamp Thing #27 coming out in January Reach for the stars!
In Swipe File we present two or more images that resemble each other to some degree They may be homages, parodies, ironic appropriations, coincidences or works of the lightbox We trust you, the reader, to make that judgment yourself? If[...]
But enough about me; this Jim Rugg cover is absolutely splendid!
Swamp Thing #23 by Guillem March & Tomeu Morey
I don't know if Constantine ate one of Swampy's psychedelic roots, but it looks like he's having one hell of a bad trip The vibrant colors of the tentacled poppies really catches the eye, as well[...]
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[...]

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.

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;

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.

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…

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 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[...]
