He would go on to direct the live action movie version of the Death Note manga in 2006. What Alan Moore did for Swamp Thing, this trilogy of movies did for a giant flying turtle.

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.

Marco Rudy is best known of late for his work on Swamp Thing.

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.
