What's the story with Mieville's Swamp Thing? It only went 6 issues, right? or did it ever even come out. I see SPOILERS
that Swamp Thing/Alec Holland was coming back in Brightest Day, so it's not like they aren't trying to relaunch.

Never came out. It was scrapped once it was decided that Swampy was needed/wanted back in the main DCU. IIRC, they had a few issues in the can when the decision was made, too, so maybe someday?
I have all of a sudden become interested in this Brightest Day/Blackest Night stuff and maybe start looking to pick up the trades now. Swamp Thing is such an awesome character.

And finally, Adrian's Kapow Day 2 overview, including some comic book rumblings!
Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news.
Starting a new convention, or any big event, is an incredibly hard thing to do. I've never done it, but I'm pretty sure I'm right about that. But I've just spoken to Mark Millar and he's a very happy man tonight. Kapow 1.0(London) has gone incredibly well, possibly much better than some expected, and everyone I've been speaking to has really only had positive things to say.

Millar has a big mouth, but his stuff is pretty consistently entertaining. Count me in.

Oh man, I hope Chew wins. I'm kinda surprised at Cinderella and iZombie, I don't really find them award worthy.

Warner Bros. Developing Animated Adaptation of Frank Miller’s THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS?
One of the seminal deconstructions of the superhero genre is Frank Miller and Klaus Janson?s 1986 miniseries The Dark Knight Returns. The comics are set in the future where a middle-aged Bruce Wayne feels forced to come out of retirement and fight crime only to incur the wrath of his old foes as well as the Gotham police department, the United States government, and Superman. If you haven?t read it, go buy it right now.
But if you don?t feel like reading it, Bleeding Cool reports that an animated adaptation is in the works. The adaptation would be the latest in a line of animated films based on DC Comics following the recent All-Star Superman and the in-development Year One, the latter of which is also based off a famous Miller Batman comic. According to Bleeding Cool, ?several veterans of Batman toons past will be on the crew list.? My question is how dark can they go with this adaptation. DKR isn?t exactly the bright sunshine of All-Star Superman. It will be interesting to see who will be writing the adaptation of Dark Knight Returns and how they?ll be adapting this classic comic. Hit the jump for a synopsis of The Dark Knight Returns.
THIS...is a brilliant idea. No movie...DC's animated works have all been high quality and I can see this translating perfectly!
