It's Swamp Thing time Because in January and February, DC Comics will be running a two-month event, Future State, looking at potential and possible futures for the DC Universe, their most prominent characters and their successors Originally planned as the ongoing nature for these titles as 5G or Generation Five, it was truncated into two[...]

With the season/series finale (you never know) set for next, this week's penultimate episode of The CW's Swamp Thing is the one fans of both the series and the comics have been waiting for – though we have a feeling this is one "hands-on lecture" Swampy (Derek Mears) wishes he had skipped That's because "The[...]

Without giving away too much (remember that this isn't the show's first run), let's just say that this week's episode of The CW's Swamp Thing sets up next week's episode very nicely- a game-changer that fans of the comics know all too well But we'll save that for next week's coverage- for now? Let's just[...]

(UPDATE: The Suicide Squad #1 relaunch details over here) Which is also the exact same creative team for Future State: Swamp Thing, with Spicer replacing June Chung, Could that be the pattern for any other post-Future State series from DC Comics going forward? Ram V tweeted out the cover to the new Swamp Thing #1 for[...]

Well, heading into the following look at the next episode of The CW's Swamp Thing (which is taking a holiday break next week, but returning on December 1) it seems like everyone and their mother wants to pick a fight with Swampy (Derek Mears)- or get him on a dissection table And while everyone seems[...]

Heading into next week's ominously-titled midseason episode of The CW's Swamp Thing, "The Price You Pay," things are starting to heat up in and around the swamps of Louisiana Avery (Will Patton) seems like he would really appreciate it if everyone would stop looking into Alec's (Andy Bean) clearly "accidental" death- almost as if he[...]

Even with The CW's Swamp Thing taking next week off (probably thinking ahead because you can't even imagine how righteously insane things must get on a Halloween weekend around the swamps of Louisiana), it's never too early to preview what lies ahead for Swampy (Derek Mears), Abby (Crystal Reed), and the fine folks in and[...]

After last week's episode of The CW's Swamp Thing left us feeling even more creeped out by any grouping of bugs that totals more than two, we have a set of preview images for this week's episode, "Darkness on the Edge of Town." We've reached that stage where people should probably pause and start paying[...]

Could what we used to joke about because of how bitter and cynical we've become about the television industry possibly have a happy ending? With all of the bizarre randomness of 2020, could the year wrap up with Swamp Thing being resurrected by The CW? Just consider this: the series kicked off with a 90-minute[...]

Heading into the third episode of its first season, Swamp Thing has been pulling some impressive numbers for The CW since its broadcast network debut (especially when you factor in delayed viewing) With each successful week that passes, the chances of the cut-too-short series seeing a second season grow just a little bit more Here's[...]

From Saturday Nigth Live and GLOW to Stephen King and Swamp Thing… from The Boys, Dexter, and Leslie Jones to geek awards, a daring Discovery, and a not-so-Charmed matter, here's a look at what's been buzzing the wires this week (with a quick reminder that the opinions you're about to read are mine and don't[...]

DC Group Editor Alex Carr talked to Den of Geek about the new Swamp Thing Future State mini-series in DC's January 2021 solicitations "People were really excited to jump right in, especially someone like Ram V, when we talked about Swamp Thing, he and I got really caught up in Swamp Thing and Swamp Thing's[...]

Well, it didn't take long for us to get the "tragedy" part of Alec Holland's (Andy Bean) origin story in The CW's Swamp Thing, and now Abby (Crystal Reed) is left with yet another mystery to solve We went with "another" because now there's this big, green, mossy creature hanging around that we're sure has[...]

So the last time we checked in with DC Uni-… ohhhh… awkward… The CW's Swamp Thing, we were playing nice and giving you a preview of the Crystal Reed and Andy Bean– starring series ahead of its October 6th network debut Now we're going back to having a little fun because the promotion they ran[...]

For those of you new to the series, welcome! In case you didn't hear, The CW begins reairing the first and only season of the dearly-departed DC Universe' Swamp Thing on October 6- which means it's time to start offering previews of what viewers can expect (or… "re-expect"?!?) from the live-action series In the images[...]

With Black Lightning heading into the next DC FanDome event in two weeks, the series is offering a key art reminder that it's back in 2021.

Is there really anything they're doing here that's all that different from The Umbrella Academy– putting aside that we know The Powerpuff Girls in an entirely different light? Nope, and that's why the folks at BCTV are curious to see where they go with this. Swamp Thing Trailer Previews Series You Definitely Never Saw Before: DC[...]

As the Arrowverse flirts with Bruce Wayne/Batman being an on-screen presence, we look at the first "dark knight": Oliver Queen/Green Arrow.

Another show that found a home was the since-canceled Swamp Thing, residing on Earth-19 and suffering a quick death early on when the series was killed over "bigger picture" WarnerMedia dealings The next thing we know, the series is finding new life on The CW and DC Universe is pretty much dead So all of[...]

The storyline, which seems to focus on John Constantine and Swamp Thing, will begin in the pages of September's DCeased: Dead Planet #3, written by Tom Taylor with art by Trevor Hairsine, Gigi Baldissini, and Rain Beredo, along with letters by Saida Temofonte. DCeased Dead Planet #3 begins the Road to Earth War Credit: DC Hyping up[...]

With HBO Max adding a DC Universe "channel" on its service, it would be easy to assume that the third seasons of Doom Patrol and Harley Quinn, as well as additional seasons of Titans and Young Justice, could find a permanent home there, too. Then there was the announcement that the streamer's daily talk show/promo fest[...]

From their classic runs such as Alan Moore's Swamp Thing and Neil Gaiman's The Sandman to the deranged flair of villains in their monthly Batman comics, the company seems to thrive in the shadows This Halloween, they're capitalizing on their specialization in the macabre again with two new anthologies with tales of terror by Batman's ex Tom King, The[...]

Those reasons are almost always there.  So it is with House of Secrets #92, the first appearance of Swamp Thing, cover-dated July 1971 and created by Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson.  Coincidences aside, there's lots of fun and interesting history behind this book, and I've always loved it It's one of the definitive comic books[...]

The one name that will raise eyebrows is Swamp Thing, which found itself in a bit of controversy last year when the series was abruptly ended after one season over apparent financial reasons (early on, the series was well-received by viewers). Swamp Thing is coming to The CW, courtesy of DC Universe.   Considering the deal The CW[...]

With an apparent crystal dig at real-world Frankenscience, Swamp Thing takes a clear stand against GMOs created by a company called Sunderland Foods The powers behind Sunderland are clearly shown to be jerks — both indirectly ("For twelve bucks an hour?") and directly (one woman executive's plan to invent a renewable crop in the most[...]

Of late, Marvel's Immortal Hulk has been described as their version of Alan Moore, Steve Bissette, Rick Veitch and John Totleben's Swamp Thing Creating a horror comic with storylines ripped from the headlines and an overall environmental theme, as well as exploring power structures, activist movements, economic theory, a lot of body horror and what[...]

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 Zatanna[...]
