Haven't been to the shop this week to pick up Swampy and Animal Man yet. Those were my only two books this week, along with my Game Of Thrones iron throne statue that's going to cost me an arm and a leg.
As much as I love the Swamp Thing character and mythos, I'm looking forward to this endless arc to finally be over. And it still won't until the epilogue issues next month. They took a cool idea for an arc and dragged it out WAY to fucking long. 30 plus issues between Swampy, Animal Man and Frankenstein was just riciculous. The same information was covered again and again every issue and it seemed like months of issues where the story went nowhere. Animal Man #18 is my last issue of that series.

As tired as I was of Rotworld, I'm really scared for the book after. The solicits for 19 and 20 scream filler from the inventory drawer. Holy shit, it reminds me of the last 7 issues of Wally's run of Flash.Comment

So after looking at the past couple of solicits...does Soule's upcoming Swamp Thing run seem really random to anyone else? Scarecrow one issue then Superman the next...Comment

Its DC sales tactics. Cameos from characters you apparently care about right before the hammer hits.

It's a bit early for that, no? I mean it hasn't even had a chance to have a sales drop yet.Originally posted by W.West View PostComment

Animal Man #18 Preview
Rotworld, the crossover between Animal Man and Swamp Thing, is over, for all intents and purposes. But that doesn't mean there isn't some mega fallout. Issue #18 of both series will be serving as an epilogue of sorts to the crossover, and DC is promising that the events of the story will weigh heavily on the future of Buddy Baker and family.
Get your first look at next week's Animal Man #18 below, written by Jeff Lemire with art by Steve Pugh.Swamp Thing #18 Preview
• Don’t miss the heartbreaking epilogue to “ROTWORLD.”
• Swamp Thing makes the ultimate sacrifice in an attempt save the world from the Rot!
• This issue marks the end of life as Swamp Thing knows it!Comment

ECCC: DC COMICS ALL ACCESS
He then spoke about the end of his "Swamp Thing" run which ships next week, saying, "This issue brings it back home to Louisiana and some of the things we were doing before 'Rotworld.' It really brings it full circle in a lot of ways."
Writer/artist Jeff Lemire then appeared – delayed by flight troubles from getting to the show before that minute – and so talk shifted to his books with Fawkes: "Justice League Dark" and "Constantine." Fawkes described the next arc of the former series by saying, "You get to see what the rest of the superhero world thinks of people like John Constantine and Madam Xanadu. And a familiar villain comes back in a really horrific guise." The writer went on to say that the opening arc of "Constantine" deals with the lead character's return to London after living in the States for a while, and "every possible angle of the city tries to finish him off. You get to see how he gets in and gets out...if he does."
Lemire joked with Snyder that their "Rotworld" crossover "maybe went a few issues too long" and promised to reset "Animal Man" with the follow up arc, continuing to explore the Hollywood life of the hero."There's a big tragedy at the end of issue #18 which sets the status quo moving forward," he explained, saying that when Buddy Baker gets nominated for an Academy Award in "his darkest hour" and the vultures of the media swarm in. The issue will feature a storytelling device where fans can follow the Twitter reactions of Baker's fans in real time through the issue.Comment

You used the Animal Man cover for Phantom StrangerI LOVE conspiracy theorists. They are like human versions of the cymbal clapping, dancing monkeys. No one takes them all that seriously and they get bored with them after about 10 minutes.Comment
