Hi all,
It’s time again for a rare update. This year, Swamp Thing appeared in several issues of John Constantine, Hellblazer: Dead In America, which has just finished up. He also appeared in a one-shot with Poison Ivy titled Feral Trees, and in a short story within an issue of the Batman: The Brave And The Bold anthology series. The version of Alec Holland from the Dark Knights of Steel universe (Earth 118) appears throughout the six-issue series Dark Knights of Steel: Allwinter. For the full list of appearances I’ve found this year, see this page, which is now nearly up to date again after being neglected for much of the year. Swampy is now a part of the greatly expanded Justice League so he may make a few more appearances as part of that team in 2025.

There hasn’t been been much recent news about the upcoming James Mangold Swamp Thing film, but there is also nothing to indicate that it has been scrapped. A new Superman film being released in mid-2025 indicates that the new DC film universe (DCEU) is starting to be constructed.

I’ve only added a few entries to the Bibliography this year but I have a number of further readings queued up and hope to add more references before the end of my Christmas holidays. What I’ve primarily been concentrating on this year is a new website focusing on Animal Man, particularly Grant Morrison’s run between 1988-1990. Check it out at https://wild-planet.org/. I will be adding a lot to that new site in the next year, but will not stop building up Another Green World.

Thanks,
Zac.
