Omnibus Report: Swamp Thing: The Bronze Age Omnibus Vol. 1


Swamp Thing Bronze Age Omnibus due out 10/10/2017

Exactly one month after the death of Len Wein and 17 days before what would have been Bernie Wrightson's 69th birthday comes the first omnibus of their co-creation: Swamp Thing: The Bronze Age Omnibus Vol. 1  due out on Tuesday October 10.

Swamp Thing original appeared in DC Comic's horror anthology The House Of Secrets #92 in July 1971 and going on to star in his own series, Swamp Thing, in 1972 with the first 10 issues being drawn by Wrightson.

In essence, the story of the Swamp Thing is that of a man who is transformed into a monster after a traumatic experience. In the main series, Alec Holland has created a formula that can transform deserts into forests and some bad guys want to steal it so they plant a bomb in Alec's lab. When the bomb goes off, Alec is  covered in the formula and thrown into the bayou where he is resurrected as the Swamp Thing.

Swamp Thing would go on to star in two movies and a half-hour TV show on the USA network. And in the 1980's, Swamp Thing would appear in one of Alan Moore's first successes, The Saga of the Swamp Thing for DC's Vertigo imprint.

From the Pile Episode 7: JLA 66 by Joe Kelly, Doug Mahnke, and Tom Nguyen

How could I let Justice League Week end without doing a Justice League specific episode of From The Pile? And in going though the Pile over the weekend, JLA #66 from July 2002 stuck out. First of all, it was issue 66, which in esoteric math equals exactly two Mother Boxes. Then the cover was pretty intriguing, and finally, I put it on top of the pile so I must have intended to do it! JLA 66: A Storm of Crows This issue is weird and I would expect nothing less from issue or episode 66 of any entertainment property. This issue is very dream-like from the start with the Justice League playing poker on their downtime with Wally West quizzing Green Lantern Kyle Rayner on what it means to be Ion. Who's Ion? It doesn't really matter that much for this issue. Kyle takes a break from Wally's third degree by going to the fridge but when he opens it, the ocean pours in. But then we find out it is just a dream and Kyle is cluing Wally in while they stand in front of a s...

The Living End by "Unkie" Dev Quin and Michael "Park" Lockwood

One of the great joys of getting these Comics Cubes from Half-Price books, usually for around $10, is the joy of discovering what's inside! In my newest show on Super Comic Fun Time! on YouTube (sadly Vid.me is no more, gone before I could even post longer content!), Breakout! I discovered a few, what I had hoped to be, gems amidst the flood of gems. One of these was called The Living End, published by dead fish comics and featuring great cover art of a superhero saying, "If I'm dead...Then why am I still alive?!" And also a line above the title blaring, "Nature's cruelest hoax!" And finally a crawl promising, "This Comic Will Blow Your Mind!" The cover does a very good job of doing what a good comic book cover should do, it grabs your attention and even though it is over the top and ridiculous, it makes you want to pick it up and read it. And read it I did! The story is broken into five chapters: Fate of the Damned! Challen...
