Charles Soule's Alan Moore's Swamp Thing

Last week's Swamp Thing Annual #2 featured the current version - Alec Holland turned into the Green's Avatar - meeting the classic version as written by Alan Moore - the Green's avatar made to think he was Alec Holland.

It's done nicely, with both an artistic nod to Moore's version as well as the dialogue and there's a last conversation between the current, green, version and Moore's blue which made me wonder if writer Charles Soule was giving Moore's Swamp Thing the opportunity to vocalise Moore's own thoughts and principles:

I might be reading too much into it, but that sounds like Alan Moore's approach to me.

Monday Memories #8 - Swamp Thing: Earth To Earth

Each Monday this year I'll be taking a look back at a random comic, prestige format issue, graphic novel or collection of reprints from amongst my 3,000 or so comics that date from 1962 to 2003 - I figured anything in the last ten years would be too recent to hark back to.

The comics are chosen completely at random and apart from a four week lead-in period, even I don't know what I'll be looking at in the weeks to come!

Who Was Who Is Who #44

So for want of anything better to write about on a Monday, I'm going to go through all my copies of Who's Who and see if I can predict who will make it over to the new DCU by the end of 2012, who might make it and who hasn't got a Syonide's chance.

STRONG BOW - another Old West character that may benefit from All Star Western so will go into the possible column.
