A New Cover Posted Every Day! Join the Facebook Fan Page at: www.facebook.com/SuperTeamFamilyTheLostIssues
There have been rumors of a James Mangold directed Swamp Thing movie for a while now. Apparently, while it has been put on the back burner for the time being, it is still in development. Previous live action attempts with the character have not been able to strike a chord with audiences, but I still feel that there is a lot of potential with the right script and director. Here's hoping Mangold's vision finally gets realized and hits the big screen.

movie goers won't have a leading man to 'root' for!!

Its funny, since he's been made 5 times including the animated series, though none of them do great and yet he seems expensive.
They all get a cult following especially the first one with JoBeth Williams.
The beauty and the beast angle is a fundamental story in Western literature that has its "roots" going back thousands of years.
What was the first accidental chemical super being? In "true" scifi Dr Jeckyl and Mr Hyde wasn't an accident. Jay Garrick is the oldest I can think of but certain wizard spell accidents have to have been done. Goethe's Sorceror's Apprentice is 1797.
I guess Lover of Lies is from 150 AD - does this count as a precursor for swampy?
It's great to see Swampy get some new blood in team-up partners. He's met Dr. Strange at least 3 times. Spider-Man, Magnus Robot Fighter, Gargoyle & Jonny Quest more than once as well.
Marvel's Inhumans with Timberius would work well. Captain Britian with DC's patriotic Force Of July (Mayflower) would also turn out great. Alpha Flight, Throg, Wasp, Swarm, Iceman, Sandman, Moondragon, Machine Man (It's incredible how many robots he's battled over the years), Powerpuff Girls, Great Lakes Avengers, Imperial Guard, Darth Vader (& his Stormtroopers), Captain Universe (who would be the Swamp T. connection?), Absorbing Man, Super-Skrull, Mystery Inc., & Valkyrie would be some fresh interactions.
All this (well deserved!) love for Swampy, but no one has mentioned how great it is to see The (classic) New Warriors again. One of my favorite teams of all time, who's name was dragged through the mud by Marvel editorial b/c they were more popular than some of their legacy characters and their egos couldn't stand it. Thank you for including them@
Firestar, who was revived/promoted on Amazing Friends shows up just as Starfire 2 gains bigly popularity. But she was never respected enough in the comic pages. Lack of respect for the younger audiences that watched the show.
If you're referring to the original 1982 film with Dick Durock in the title role. I believe the female protagonist was Adrienne Barbeau.
I blame that mud-slinging on the ill-advised decision to use them as the scapecoats for the incident that led to the Superhero Registration Act and the Civil War story arc. Unless, of course, the Tony Stark responsible for all that was actually his Skrull impersonator at the time. Which means the Secret Invasion was on-going, even then!
That, in turn, means the Stamford Incident was no accident! The New Warriors were manipulated/engineered into being scapegoats.
Re: today's cover? I would like to imagine that the Force of Nature is trying to regroup and they want to conscript Swampy as Plantman's replacement.
All I know for certain is that the Golden Age Heap is the comic-book predecessor for both Swampy and the Man-Thing.
I thought you couldn't kill a vegetable by shooting it through the head?😉
