A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.

Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.

There is only one rule:*

Comic Books is a no judgement zone.

You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.

If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.

* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(

I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

Back in the 80s, Rick Vietch had taken over writing duties from Alan Moore, and nearing the end of his run, had plotted out a story arc where Swamp Thing was sent through time.

#88 was scheduled to feature Swamp Thing as Christ's Cross and it was instantly pulled from publication.

The other 3 issues of the storyline were canned, Veitch was replaced, and it was thought that story was lost forever...

DC has now completed the work and begins publishing it as either "Swamp Thing 1989 #1" or "Swamp Thing #88" depending on which cover you want.

Art is by the late, great Michael Zulli and if you don't know his name, well... feast your eyes:
