Putting Alan Moore's Swamp Thing in Context

[btravage]

Alan Moore is quite a popular writer these days with major motion pictures and all, so it's feasible fans of his graphic novels might want to check out Swamp Thing. Herein lies the problem: unlike something like V for Vendetta or Watchmen, Alan Moore's Swamp Thing run is not self contained. In fact the title of the first issue of Swamp Thing, "Loose Ends", reflects this. Earlier editions of the first TPB resolved this problem by simply not including issue, however this isn't a very good solution because some of these "loose ends" return latter in the run. Seeing as the issues leading up to Moore's run were never collected, I think it's fair to post them here.

JToddz six issue mini-series... Written by Winick!

[benicio127]

As lipsofpoison said this sounds like it's gonna be a Jason Todd: Year One.

From http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/2010/03/17/discover-red-hood-the-lost-days/

The Red Hood’s very presence haunts the Dark Knight’s every waking hour.

But how did the Red Hood come to be? What trials did he go through before donning the gleaming red helmet, during those formative years before he crossed paths with Batman?

Writer Judd Winick and artist Pablo Raimondi hope to answer that question in June, with the debut of RED HOOD: THE LOST DAYS, a six-issue mini-series revealing the untold story of the man behind the Red Hood. It’s the tale of an angry young man’s transformation into a deadly villain.

March M.O.D.O.K. Madness!

[nezchan]

I do love me some art jams, and the crackier the better. Stuff like Hey Oscar Wilde, It's Clobberin' Time and Drawergeeks really get me interested, so when I found March M.O.D.O.K. Madness, well I just had to share, didn't I?

There's some great art there, by folks like Ryan Dunlavey, Paul Gilligan and Ryan Estrada, plus a whole heap of others. Go check it out, there's loads of M.O.D.O.K. goodness (badness? evilness?) to check out.

The dangers of eating out

[stubbleupdate]

I already posted some of this on my own journal and on NSD where people really didn't take to it. It's from Jonathan Hickman's The Nightly News, which is actually a much more complicated read than I'm used to, both in terms of the art and storytelling style and the complexity of the actual story.

I really do like the monologue at the end and I'll present it in the context of the scene that it appears in.
